What does it take to win the Super Bowl? The obvious factors include drive, grit, determination, and excellence to make it to the championship level. But what else goes into the winning formula to propel teams through the ups and downs of an NFL season where only one team can be called the champion? Today on Redefiners, we talk with Kevin Demoff, Chief Operating Officer of the Los Angeles Rams football team, who won Super Bowl LVI in 2022. Kevin takes us into the locker room and the front office to share what it takes to be a Super Bowl championship team. He talks about the importance of consistency and authenticity as a leader, how he uses fan feedback to solve problems, the importance of inclusion and diversity to reflect your fan community in your staff, and how fear of failure and vulnerability help him propel his organization to new heights. Kevin also goes beyond football to talk about the vision and sustainability plans behind Hollywood Park, the 300-acre sports and entertainment complex that houses SoFi Stadium where the Rams play. Pull up a chair and grab your nachos, chicken wings, and a favorite beverage for this insightful conversation. We'll also hear from Ben Shrewsbury, a Managing Director in our Dallas office, who will discuss why COOs are often first choice for the CEO role, and the skills they'll need to dial up to thrive in the top seat.

Today I talked to Alan Shuback about his book Hollywood at the Races: Film's Love Affair with the Turf (UP of Kentucky, 2019) A love of the slapstick film duo Laurel and Hardy led nine-year-old Alan Shuback into a chance encounter with thoroughbred horse racing in 1957. Racing soon also became a passion, and he never abandoned either love, making a career out of the latter as a transatlantic racing journalist. More recently, with Hollywood and racing both in decline in Shuback's eyes, he set out to document the close relationship between them during a golden era for both, encompassing the 1930s to the 1970s. In this intriguing interview, Shuback discusses anti-Semitism in the early days of Santa Anita, one of southern California's premier racetracks, which led to the formation of rival racecourse Hollywood Park; Louis B. Mayer's obsession with racing, producing one of America's most powerful racing stables and nearly leading to his firing from MGM; Fred Astaire's late-life marriage to a pioneering female jockey who was decades younger than him; and the role of films about horse racing in the broader culture. (For the record, at least 60 movies on the topic were released in the 1930s alone.) Finally, Shuback analyzes the decline of both industries. It's a sad note, but one that leaves you grateful for the memories.

Mikel Jollett started life in a California-based cult called Synanon. What began as a drug rehabilitation programme that helped his father kick a heroin addiction later turned into a cult where children were taken away from their parents at just six months old and married couples were forced to split up and take new partners. As the cult turned increasingly violent, Mikel's mother managed to escape with him and his brother, but Mikel's hardships didn't end there. For years he never spoke about his childhood. It was only later - when he discovered a love for music and formed a successful band, The Airborne Toxic Event - that he began to open up and write about those early years. Mikel's book is called Hollywood Park.

Kaitlin Free and Andy Villanueva welcome in one of the best race callers in North American Racing as Vic Stauffer joins the Goat Zoom Room. Andy begins by stumbling on his first question about Oaklawn Park. What we love about Vic is he doesn't mince words and you'll hear that thru the entire interview. We talk the last day at Hollywood Park. What it's like to be a Jockey Agent with a couple of good stories. Discuss some of the riders Vic has represented and Jermaine Bridgmohan as we begin a mutual admiration society for JVB. Andy sticks his foot in his mouth again in the interview thinking Vic had been at Oaklawn longer than he actually has been. Finish up with asking Vic if he'd run me if I started chirping during a basketball game he officiated. Kaitlin also plays her favorite game of What horse, jockey, track to end the show. Vic Stauffer can be found on twitter @goofonroofKaitlin Free is @kaitlinefreeAndy Villanueva is @avillanueva3rdGeeohayeteehandicapping.com is @GOATHandicappin
