We had the good fortune of connecting with Mitch Harris and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mitch, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Understanding that the bar for me is set by myself and no one else. Perseverance played a huge part in allowing me to get where I am today.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m excited to share my story via my upcoming book “Relentlessly Chasing A Dream — From The Navy To The Major Leagues”. This story is one of trials and triumphs. In today’s world we all have a “social media” story or a “Google” story. I want to tell the full transparent story of resilience to accomplish one’s dreams.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We would have to hit up Buttermilk Kitchen for breakfast. For lunch we would get the fried chicken at South City Kitchen. At this point we may need a nap… I’d take them to Roswell for dinner. There are endless things to do so depending on what they had done before would determine what we do. A Braves game is always in the cards. Going on a hike in north Ga is always a good time as well.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I wouldn’t be where I am without the men and women I served with. They were my motivation. I always told them to strive for whatever dream they had. When I was pursuing my baseball career, I wanted to be a great example for them. They are the reason I made it to the big leagues.
