Jason Romano spent seventeen years as a producer at ESPN. He is best known for his time as producer of Mike & Mike on ESPN Radio. He also created content for several other shows including SportsCenter, College GameDay, and Monday Night Football amongst others.
Now, Romano is focused on the intersection of sports and faith on his Sports Spectrum podcast. That doesn’t mean ESPN is totally out of his life though. In fact, Romano is looking back on his time at the network for an upcoming book called In the Uniform of Leadership.
“This book is a love letter to my time at ESPN,” Romano told Barrett Sports Media in an email. “I’m so grateful for the opportunities I had working there and now I’m excited for the world to see the amazing leadership lessons that came about from my experiences in Bristol.”
The question at the center of the book is which name on the uniform are you focused on as a leader – the one on the front or the one on the back. Romano shares stories about famous names like Tony Dungy and Darryl Strawberry in the book.
Stephen Copeland serves as Romano’s co-author for In the Uniform of Leadership, which will be released later this week. The two also worked together when Copeland was writing for the Sports Spectrum magazine.
