About this listen

"Welcome to Two Brothers and a Mic, a heartfelt podcast where two brothers, Anthony and Rodney Van, share their journey of life, brotherhood, and friendship. Growing up in Long Beach, California—the city that produced icons like Tony Gwynn, Cameron Diaz, Billie Jean King, and Snoop Dog—our bond was strengthened by the loss of both parents: our father when we were kids and our mother in our early 20s. Anthony has been not only a brother but a father figure to me, guiding me through life’s challenges. Together, we went on to accomplish great things athletically and in the business world. Join us as we dive into deep conversations about family, resilience, success, and the power of brotherhood."
