Send us a textAbout This EpisodeBill Burke, founder of the Optimism Institute and former Turner Broadcasting executive, shares his bold journey from high-profile media roles to purpose-driven work centered on optimism and alignment. Drawing on experiences ranging from co-authoring Ted Turner's autobiography to leading a minor league baseball team, Bill explores how true optimism is not blind positivity, but the active belief in a better future paired with a willingness to act. He outlines four pillars of optimism, action, perspective, hope, and resilience, and explains why pessimism fuels apathy while optimism drives meaningful change. Whether navigating personal transitions or global challenges, Bill's message is clear: each of us has the power to make tomorrow better than today. About Bill BurkeBill Burke founded The Optimism Institute in 2022 after an extensive media and sports career as an executive, writer, and producer. Bill served as CEO of The Weather Channel Companies after several years at Time Warner/Turner Broadcasting System, where he was the founding general manager of Turner Classic Movies before going on to become president of TBS Superstation. Additionally, for fifteen years he was the co-owner and chairman of the Portland Sea Dogs, the double-A Minor League Baseball affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. As a writer, Bill co-authored Ted Turner's top-10 New York Times Best-Selling autobiography Call Me Ted and later co-wrote/produced/directed “Live Another Day,” an award-winning feature-length documentary on the bailout of the U.S. auto industry.Bill is a lifelong optimist (he has to be - he's a Detroit Lions fan) and launched The Optimism Institute with a mission to inspire people with an optimistic, hopeful vision of the world and its future. Additional ResourcesWeb: theoptimisminstitute.comInstagram: @optimisminstituteLinkedIn: @BillBurkeSupport the show-------- Stay Connected www.leighburgess.com Watch the episodes on YouTube Follow Leigh on Instagram: @theleighaburgess Follow Leigh on LinkedIn: @LeighBurgess Sign up for Leigh's bold newsletter

The South Bend Cubs played what amounted to one and a half games on Saturday against the Great Lakes Loons, in a day shaped by both weather delays and Minor League Baseball’s unique doubleheader rules. The day began with the completion of a suspended game from Friday night, which resumed in the top of the 5th inning with the Cubs trailing 2–1. After finishing that contest, the two teams played a scheduled 7-inning game, as per MiLB’s standard doubleheader format. Unfortunately for South Bend, both games ended with the same disappointing result: 2–1 losses. With the double defeat, the Cubs now trail the series 3–2 heading into Sunday afternoon’s finale at Four Winds Field. In Game 1, the Cubs’ only run came on Friday evening, before the suspension, when Carter Trice launched a solo home run to left field. That blast tied the game 1–1 at the time, but the Loons regained the lead before play was halted. When the game resumed on Saturday, both teams were held scoreless over the final four and a half innings. South Bend’s best opportunity came in the bottom of the ninth, when they loaded the bases with a chance to walk it off. However, Ariel Armas grounded out to end the game, stranding all three runners and sealing the narrow 2–1 loss. Game 2 featured an impressive start from right-hander Ryan Gallagher, who continued to show poise on the mound. He pitched five strong innings, allowing just three hits and two earned runs, while striking out seven Loons batters. The runs came in the second and third innings, and despite a solid outing, Gallagher was tagged with the tough-luck loss. South Bend had a few scoring chances, including the bottom of the sixth, when Carter Trice doubled to lead off the inning, but he was ultimately stranded at third. The Cubs finally broke through in the bottom of the seventh when Brian Kalmer singled home Ivan Brethowr, cutting the deficit to one run. However, with the tying run at first base, Drew Bowser grounded out to end the game and extinguish the late rally. While both losses were close and hard-fought, the Cubs will look to bounce back in Sunday’s series finale, hoping to earn a split and avoid losing four out of six at home. First pitch is scheduled for 2:05 PM at Four Winds Field, where South Bend will aim to reverse the momentum and close out the homestand on a high note.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a great way to kick off the baseball season with a super fun episode about a guy who's whole career was inside the world of sports. Gary Saunders had an exciting career in management and marketing/sales working the minor league baseball circuit. He traveled around the country working for about a dozen different organizations and capped it all with a big time sports exec job at University of Mississippi. You don't need to a sports fan to love this episode. Gary retired to Florida with his wife Eileen. He started what he thought would be a dream retirement and just become a beach bum. Gary who always was a busy guy, soon found himself bored out of his mind and has put together a combination of part-time jobs that as he says, "puts a smile on his face everyday." He went back to his roots and got his dream job being the music/sound guy for the Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training team and during the summer works for their minor league affiliate. He's a popular radio DJ with the very cool handle of "HoDad" on the Longboat Luau show. What's a "HoDad"? You'll need to listen to the episode. And get this -- he's also a resident butler at the fancy St. Regis hotel. Plus, a whole lot more. Most importantly he's build a really cool community of friends through each of his part-time jobs. This episode is 100% fun and inspiration!
