The Undercover Life of "J.P. Lehman"

EPISODE 257: Your calling.

I’m no wrestling expert, as was established by our recent investigation into how it allegedly corrupted the 1998 NBA Finals.

But I don’t see the story of Hub Orr as merely the story of one of the hundred most popular athletes in American minor-league pro wrestling. (Which, I am told, he is.)

I see it as a story about the conflict between your job, on one hand, and your passion, on the other.

And what happens when you realize that nobody who knows you from the former is gonna find out about the latter.

By day, Hub Orr is an i-banker at Jefferies, the highly respected global investment banking firm. (He went to Duke and then the Kellogg School of Management and previously worked for Morgan Stanley.)

By night, however, he is living his dream.

As I found out, firsthand.
