Episode 259 features Fred Claire, general manager of the 1988 World Series Champion, Los Angeles Dodgers and Phil Breeden, award-winning pitmaster and founder of LC BBQ. Fred Claire  is a former Major League Baseball executive who served in numerous roles for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1969 to 1998 including the role of general manager.  Prior to his GM role, Fred was the VP of Public Relations and was instrumental in creating the branding that came to be known as "Dodger Blue."  However, it was an unfortunate night on April 6, 1987 when Dodgers General Manager Al Campanis appeared on the televison news program, Nightline to talk about his thoughts on the 40th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. Campanis' comments stunned the baseball world and he was forced to resign with Fred being asked to take over the GM job.  After a dismal 1987 season, Claire rebuilt the team into an instant playoff contender as the Dodgers went on to win the 1988 World Series. Phil Breeden is a champion pitmaster whose love for food started at a young age and sports fueled his competitive drive to be the best. Phil has competed in over 300 sanctioned competitions.  Phil sells his products which he develops and uses to win championships.  According to Breeden, “We are always developing products that are tested in competitions…if we can't win with them…we don't release them, why should we expect our customers to trust them if we can't?”  In addition to competing and selling products, Phil teaches barbecue competition classes and is a co-host on the Shiggin Fried with Chicken Fried and LCBBQ podcast.  For more information on Phil Breeden and LC BBQ go to www.lcbbqshop.com We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.

Talkin’21 podcast welcomes former Dodgers’ executive Fred Claire who was the General Manager when his National League West team won the World Series in 1988. Thirty-two years later, he shares his excitement on seeing his former ballclub once again raise the Commissioner’s Trophy but most importantly what he looked for in creating a winning team. In baseball and life, it’s always about character and this was especially true in the extraordinary lives of his dear friend Jackie Robinson and the legacy of Roberto Clemente. Sadly in 2015, Fred Claire would go on to face the biggest challenge of his post-baseball life - cancer. But, having the right team (his wife, family and close friends), the incredible doctors at City of Hope and his inspirational book entitled, “Extra Innings” allowed this humble man to not only say, “I feel great” but also, “I’m blessed.” And finally what are his thoughts on the retirement of Clemente’s iconic number.

Fred Claire served 30 years as an executive with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was the team’s Executive Vice President and General Manager from 1987 until 1998. During his tenure, Claire earned a reputation for his integrity and for his fighting spirit that built what ultimately led to the team's last World Series championship in 1988. His drive and determination in the face of opposition and doubt from all sides became a defining trait not just of his time with the Dodgers, but of who he is as an individual. In the spring of 2015, Fred would again tap into his fighting spirit after being diagnosed with skin cancer that later migrated to his jaw. Again, the odds were against his survival, but Fred was determined. This time, he found his championship team at City of Hope National Medical center in Duarte, California. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, frontline research, and staffed by top oncologists, City of Hope was the perfect home base for Claire's treatment. Extra Innings highlights how both the landmark career of Fred Claire and the remarkable rise of City of Hope exhibit mutual endurance and give promise to those facing cancer diagnoses. https://www.amazon.com/Extra-Innings-Claires-Journey-Championship/dp/1645430839 To support City of Hope visit https://www.cityofhope.org/homepage --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fromthehart/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fromthehart/support

On today’s episode, we get to listen in on a conversation between my business partner Brandon Averill and serial entrepreneur, Mark Goodstein. Mark has been starting companies and other ventures for 15 years and is the founder of intrantets.com, goto.com, X1 Technologies, and the progressive automotive XPrize. Mark also has long-standing ties to Caltech and Ideal Lab – the longest running technology incubator which has created over 150 companies with more than 45 IPO’s and acquisitions. Mark has been personally involved with launching 4 of those companies, most notably goto.com, which became Overture Services and is now Yahoo’s search-marketing company. He helped launch this disruptive search engine company in 1996, creating 250 billion dollars in market capitalization today. Mark has since moved on to X1 Technologies in 2002 to help spark the desktop search revolution. He also started the Progressive Automotive X Prize which was a set of competitions and events from the X Prize Foundation to inspire a new generation of super-efficient vehicles that help break America’s addiction to oil and curve the effects of climate change. Mark has helped start two non-profit educational organizations in Pasadena, CA – the Pasadena Educational Network and Fair Oaks Preschool. Today Mark is a partner at Mount Wilson Ventures which specializes in building early-stage startups, especially those based in the hard sciences, advising industrial partners, and developing innovation communities. You’ll hear about his current and most exciting project Mark is working on, which he says is “the biggest idea I’ve ever been involved in.” Here are a few more things to listen for in today’s interview with Mark: How Mark came across Fred Claire (from Episode 4) and how their relationship turned into launching businesses together What Mark looks for when he’s going to start or invest in a business What it was like to buy the world’s first search engine and next-generation internet technologies (plus the resistance and reticule hey faced by the industry initially) The serendipitous Disney lawsuit that forever changed Mark’s life (and altered the history of the internet) How Mark and his wife created a school from scratch Meeting Peter Diamandis Why the “offer-a-big-bag-of-cash” method for inspiring action in people works Mark’s morning routine Are entrepreneurs born, or made?

It’s with great pleasure that we bring on Fred Claire, former General Manager and Executive Vice-President of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Most notably, Fred orchestrated the 1988 World Series Championship team. He continued his historic run through June of 1998. While Fred (or Mr. Claire as some call him) admits to not having the skill to play baseball, his love for the sport grew into a position – and a 30-year career with the Dodgers. Since then, he’s maintained an active schedule as a columnist and analyst for MLB.com. He also has served as an instructor at the University of Southern California and as a consultant to companies involved in sports. Fred serves on the advisory board for the Sports Management graduate program at California State University, Long Beach and is a lecturer in Social Sciences, Humanities, and Social Services at California Institute of Technology. Fred is a member of the board of directors of the Rose Bowl Operating Company and is also holds board of director positions for the Special Olympics of Southern California; the Los Angeles Sports Council; and Life Skills FORE Pasadena Youth, Inc. Fred is the co-founder of Scoutables, which is revolutionizing the way professional sports organizations manage financial risk around the most valuable financial assets. But what may be more impressive than the numerous business and leadership success Fred has achieved over the years is his recent battle with cancer. At City Of Hope Fred has 28 lymph nodes and nerve endings in his jaw bone removed through surgery followed by 33 radiation treatments and seven rounds of chemotherapy. Fred came out the other side with a new appreciation for the teamwork that it takes to treat cancer, and in Fred-fashion has turned his focus to raising awareness and funds for City Of Hope through the Fred Claire Celebrity Golf Classic. A couple things to listen for in this episode: A controversial decision Fred had to make in the 80’s How the strike of 1994 and a World Series loss changed the MLB What clubhouses, players, and free-agents should think about when it comes to joining a team How his love for the sport (but lack of skill) helped Fred shape a career in the Major League The secret to the Dodgers success If you’re at the end of your athletic career: what you should be thinking about and be doing The one thing you should be thinking about in your sports career A new technology that’s quickly revolutionizing the way sports organizations manage their financial risk Quotes “One game could make a difference.” – Fred Claire “The only thing I wanted to do was do the job I was assigned to do to the best of my ability.” – Fred Claire “The fundamentals of teamwork are the same ingredient in any successful business.” – Fred Claire “The most important aspect you have in business is your integrity.” – Fred Claire “Enjoy every moment, because it will be gone in the blink of an eye.” – Fred Claire “There’s an advantage when the spotlight is on you.” – Fred Claire “When the phone rings. We answer the phone.” – Fred Claire “As our world changes, some of the fundamentals get lost.” – Fred Claire Resources Mentioned: The Los Angeles Dodgers City of Hope USC The Fred Claire Golf Classic Fred’s Company – Scoutables  Books Fred Mentioned (Amazon links): Good To Great Watch now: Watch on YouTube Listen on iTunes Listen on Spotify Listen on Google Play Listen on Stitcher
