Episode 48 takes listeners inside one of the most dominant franchises in modern sports: the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fresh off back-to-back World Series championships, the Dodgers are rewriting the blueprint for what a modern sports dynasty looks like. Great dynasties do not happen by accident. They are built with intention, culture and a relentless commitment to winning, much like great brands. In sports, that formula shows up on the field, in the front office and across a global fan base. Hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata talk with Brandon Gomes, General Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, to explore how one of the most recognizable brands in sports sustains greatness in an era of constant change. From player development and global recruiting to culture, leadership and long-term vision, Brandon reveals how championship organizations build systems that outlast trends and competitors. Brandon's journey to the GM seat wasn't linear. A former MLB pitcher with roots in Fall River, Massachusetts, he climbed from the clubhouse to the front office, gaining a rare perspective on what makes elite teams work. That experience now shapes how the Dodgers balance tradition with innovation, data with instinct and star power with team chemistry. A major driver of that evolution is the Dodgers' emergence as a truly global brand. With superstars like Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the team has expanded far beyond Los Angeles, connecting with fans across Asia and around the world. Gomes reflects on traveling with the club to South Korea and Tokyo, calling it a powerful reminder of baseball's universal reach. “Seeing the impact that baseball can have all over the world and the passion that it brings,” he says, underscores how the Dodgers are leading the future of the game on a global stage. This episode is a masterclass for marketers, leaders and sports fans alike. It's a reminder that dynasties aren't built on hype, they're built on clarity, culture and consistency. Get those right, and winning stops being a goal and becomes the brand. Have an idea for a guest? Reach out at brandslam@addventures.com.

In this week's episode, I'm recapping my recent trip to Las Vegas for the World Series of Team Roping Finale. The week didn't end with a win—or a big paycheck—but it also wasn't a loss. It was an opportunity to learn.Tune in as I share some reflections on my preparation, how I showed up in the arena, and why I can still be proud of the way I competed. I also tip my hat to the NFR competitors and the level of performance, resilience, and professionalism they displayed through the ups, downs, and moments of adversity on the biggest stage. At the end of the day, there are no true failures—only lessons that help us grow.

Two years after graduating from Waynesboro High School, Reggie Harris was taken by the Oakland A's in the 1989 Rule 5 draft, and he made the team – the defending World Series champs – out of spring training in 1990. “I'm just watching the previous World Series that year, in '89, the earthquake series with San Francisco, and two weeks later, I'm on that team,” said Harris, who joined me to talk about his baseball career on the “Street Knowledge” podcast this week.

On August 13, 1995, Mickey Mantle — the legendary New York Yankees center fielder who defined power, speed, and switch-hitting excellence in baseball — died at the age of 63 after a battle with liver cancer.

A three-time MVP and seven-time World Series champion, his impact on baseball during the 1950s and 1960s made him an enduring icon of America's pastime, inspiring generations of players and fans alike.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off the second hour of the week with a look back on Craig Berube's comments following his team's 6-3 loss to the Oilers on Saturday. They discuss the need for more from the leadership core right now and what that could look like for the group. They also compare and contrast Auston Matthews from three years ago to now and examine what has changed so drastically. Later, the guys break down Mark Shapiro's five-year extension with the Blue Jays, the significance of Tyler Rogers signing in Toronto, and what his role in the bullpen might look like. After the break, Sportsnet's Shi Davidi (25:55) explores Atkins' new deal and if the World Series run provided enough proof of concept to justify it. The conversation also touches on why the pitching market is moving faster than the position-player market, the possibility of turning to the trade market to address bullpen depth, and the latest on Kyle Tucker.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The SF Giants have just lost a place in the World Series, with arch rivals the Dodgers taking the National League's spot the previous evening. The Giants' 94-67 record with one game to go is not enough. Game 152 has become one to win for the pride of the club and to end the season with a W.The Cincinnati Reds were even further back in the National League. The core trio of Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson, and a young Pete Rose was promising, but as a team, the Reds fell short of the Dodgers' power or the Giants' finesse. Coming into this final game at 89-72, the totemic 90-win mark is within reach and a chance to overhaul Pittsburgh to finish third in the NL. High above Candlestick Park is another final moment, as Waite Hoyt prepares to call the game for the listening Reds fans back home. Following a career that included three World Series rings over twenty-one years and seven teams, he became one of the first players to transition into broadcasting. Now, after 24 years of calling strikes, balls and fouls, this would be Hoyt's commentating swansong. Featuring around two-thirds of the game, today's classic game is not a complete record of Hoyt's last game, but it is a record. And with so much of the early days of broadcasting lost to time, it's an excellent record of a baseball legend You can find the boxscore here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SFN/SFN196510030.shtml This game was played on October 3, 1965.

Boomer & Gio and BT & Sal are all wondering the same thing: where have the Yankees been at the Winter Meetings? Plus, Sal suggests Nice Hoerner as a good fit for the Bronx Bombers; a caller asks who will win the World Series first: the Yankees or Mets? And Evan Roberts dives into what the Yankees' selecting a player in the Rule 5 Draft means for the offseason outlook.

And Evan Roberts dives into what the Yankees' selecting a player in the Rule 5 Draft means for the offseason outlook.

A few months ago, when a sportswriter published an article in The New York Times about an unusual and “revolutionary” practice method that NBA star Victor Wembanyama and other elite athletes and teams (like the World Series-winning LA Dodgers) were utilizing, I started getting emails from musicians, asking if this method, known as the “constraints-led approach,” might apply to practicing music too.So what is the constraints-led approach? And is it relevant to musicians?Spoiler alert - yes, it totally is.

Bradfo is hanging out with Mego and Lyons keeping the Red Sox conversation going. With a recent example in the Blue Jays, Rob explains the power that comes with making and/or winning a World Series that organizations are missing out on. Then, in the New England Nightly News, a bad norovirus outbreak in Medford sparks bad memories for Mego and ideas come pitching in after regulation has been approved for a cannabis café. And, final thoughts about the Red Sox and how ownership could see this strategy as crazy as it seems leading to championship contention.

The Eagles are on the mat. They have been knocked down and humbled for 3 straight weeks. Philly is a city known for the concept of 'getting up off the mat' and fighting. It's in our DNA. This Sunday, at the Linc, we will see if the defending Super Bowl Champions can harness that and get a win over an inferior team with nothing to play for but putting good material on film for agents. Jalen Hurts has been berated, put down, and there are actually calls to bench the Super Bowl MVP. Only in Philly. The Las Vegas Raiders come in to town with their poor offense and shoddy defense, but local kid Kenny Pickett will be under center to try and get a win. We will learn a lot about this Birds team on Sunday at 1PM. The Phillies are bringing back Schwarber and Rob Thomson and attempting to finally win that World Series ring with this group. Time will tell if they also bring JT Realmuto back, as free agency pushes on. The Sixers are exciting and Maxey is a superstar, but this is not a championship caliber team.

rWotD Episode 3145: 2010 World Series Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 13 December 2025, is 2010 World Series.The 2010 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2010 season. The 106th edition of the World Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff played between the American League (AL) champion Texas Rangers and the National League (NL) champion San Francisco Giants; the Giants won the series, four games to one, to secure their first World Series championship since 1954 and their first since relocating to San Francisco from New York City in 1958, ending the Curse of Coogan's Bluff. The series began on Wednesday, October 27, and ended on Monday, November 1.In their respective League Championship Series, the Rangers and the Giants eliminated the 2009 World Series teams—the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies—each in six games. The Rangers' victory in the AL Championship Series gave the franchise its first World Series appearance in its 50-year history, dating from their inauguration as the second Washington Senators club in 1961. Meanwhile, the victory in the NL Championship Series gave the Giants their fourth World Series appearance since moving to San Francisco prior to the 1958 season; their most recent appearance had been in the 2002 World Series, when they lost to the Anaheim Angels in seven games. Coincidentally, the Giants and Rangers faced off in the first regular-season interleague game, on June 12, 1997, at the Ballpark in Arlington; Rangers reliever Darren Oliver, then in his first stint with the club, threw the game's first pitch.The Giants had home-field advantage for the World Series (the first NL champions since 2001), because the NL won the All-Star Game, 3–1, on July 13. For the second consecutive year, Series games were scheduled for earlier start times to attract younger viewers. First pitch was just before 8:00 p.m. EDT for most games, with Game 3 starting at 7:00 p.m. EDT as part of a "family night" promotion and Game 4 starting at 8:20 p.m. EDT to accommodate Fox's NFL coverage.San Francisco landmarks, such as Coit Tower, the Ferry Building, and San Francisco City Hall, were illuminated with orange lighting at night during the postseason. An exclusive VIP party was held on the eve of the World Series at the California Academy of Sciences (in Golden Gate Park); most media were not allowed near the event. San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom made a friendly wager with Arlington mayor Robert Cluck, agreeing that "the losing city's mayor will travel to the winning city and join the winning city's mayor in a day of support for local youth and community service initiatives, with both mayors wearing the jersey of the World Series Champion team." With three games slated in Arlington, this marked the 5th time the same city hosted both a World Series game and the upcoming Super Bowl (Los Angeles 1966–67, Minneapolis 1991–92, Atlanta 1999–2000, Tampa 2008–09).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:14 UTC on Saturday, 13 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2010 World Series on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kendra.

How do we stay awake and aware without constantly being outraged? Or, perhaps even worse, normalizing what should be utterly unacceptable?Staying human is hard in this environment. So many leaders are trying to hold onto their boundaries and values against pressure to act contrary to them, to stay compassionate and curious when so many forces benefit from and encourage our outrage.Anger, rage, and outrage are powerful and can be useful emotions. But when we live from a perpetual state of outrage, we lose access to the self-leadership and adaptive skills that help us lead well, and eventually it takes us out.Today's guest is here to help us understand what outrage really is, why it's so potent right now, how it becomes weaponized, and how we can use it without losing ourselves.Kurt Gray is a social psychologist who studies our moral minds and how best to bridge political divides. Gray received his PhD from Harvard University, and now directs the Deepest Beliefs Lab at The Ohio State University. He also leads the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding, which explores new ways to reduce polarization, and is a Field Builder in the New Pluralists, which seeks to build a more pluralistic America.Gray's work on morality, politics, religion, creativity, and AI has been widely discussed in the media, including the New York Times, the Economist, Scientific American, Wired, and Hidden Brain. He is the co-author of the book The Mind Club: Who Thinks, What Feels and Why it Matters, and the author of Outraged: Why We Fight about Morality and Politics. Listen to the full episode to hear:How Kurt's childhood experiences with his stepmother's conservative, evangelical family have informed his thinking about how we can connect despite differencesHow our human wiring for threat detection causes “harm creep,” even while many of us are safer than everHow our outrage is connected to our perceptions of our risk and vulnerabilityHow our moral imagination helps us maintain our empathy and humanity without losing sight of our values and boundariesWhy we need to learn to recognize destruction narratives and how they're being used to sow divisionWhy leading with facts and statistics fails in moral and political arguments and how we can more effectively begin to bridge the gapsWhy we need to leave room for uncertainty and humility in our convictionsLearn more about Kurt Gray, PhD:WebsiteConnect on LinkedInMoral Understanding NewsletterOutraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common GroundThe Mind Club: Who Thinks, What Feels, and Why it MattersLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience, Brené BrownRage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger, Soraya ChemalyEP 96: Rage to Action: The Leading Power of Women's Anger with Soraya ChemalyBrené Brown on the State of Leadership in America Today | On with Kara SwisherEP 52: Charlie Gilkey: Leading With What Matters MostDaryl DavisSaja Boys - "Your Idol"Stranger Things Bad ThoughtsOrdinary People Change the World Series, Brad Meltzer and Christopher Eliopoulos

“Would you trade Corey Seager if the offer was right?” That's the question that kicks off a fiery debate on today's Ben and Skin Show with Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Baby Cornbread” Ray.This episode is packed with laughs, hot takes, and jaw-dropping sports rumors as the guys react to the bizarre return of Philip Rivers to the NFL at age 44. Plus, The Michigan coaching drama takes a wild turn. Is this the craziest story of our lifetime? The crew dives into the rumors, NIL chaos, and why legacy programs might never be the same.Also, could Corey Seeger really be on the trade block? The gang debates whether moving a World Series hero makes sense—and what it says about the future of Texas baseball.

Send us a textBreaking news rarely hits mountain running like this. The World Skyrunner Series is officially returning to the United States, and the Beast of Big Creek on Washington's Olympic Peninsula is the stage. We dive straight into what makes this 23K course so compelling: sustained grades exceeding 20 percent, a clean up-and-down profile that rewards efficient climbers and fearless descenders, and a summit near 6,000 feet that avoids altitude headaches without losing the punch. With 1.5x points on offer, we make the case for why European stars could cross the Atlantic and why sub-two hours might be in play.We unpack the “why here” question through logistics and strategy. Seattle's international access makes travel simple, while the terrain delivers classic skyrunning character without sprawling altitude or complex permitting. Then we zoom out: how ISF certification interacts with the World Series, the signals from Whiteface and Broken Arrow, and whether a U.S. skyrunning series is waiting in the wings. We compare philosophies too, contrasting Golden Trail's media-friendly flower loops with skyrunning's traditional aesthetic lines and discussing why a tighter global calendar could sharpen competition and improve storytelling.This is also a conversation about athlete pathways. If more U.S. events gain certification, short-trail standouts, collegiate converts, and VK specialists can build toward European icons like Matterhorn and Trofeo Kima without crossing oceans for every test. We talk rumors, real implications for the Northeast and Pacific Northwest scenes, and how brands and athletes might respond if skyrunning gains momentum here. Hit play to catch our hot takes, practical race analysis, and the questions that will define the next phase of American mountain running.

BT and Sal dive into the NFL slate, with Sal boldly declaring the Chiefs are "done" and predicting a massive blow-out loss for the Colts. Sal reveals his excitement to see "Brady Cook cook" for the Jets, given a full week of practice. The conversation quickly shifts to the Mets, where the hosts and callers debate the team's ongoing roster demolition. The possibility of trading Francisco Lindor is discussed, with Sal questioning if friction in the clubhouse is making a split "irreparable." The hosts conclude that while Yankee fans are "envious" of the Mets' radical core change, New York success historically hinges on the farm system being allowed to develop and "pop." Finally, the segment ends with BT—the two-time baseball card World Series champion—refusing Sal's attempt at a final, high-stakes redemption match!

BT & Sal dive into the emotional anguish of Mets fandom, debating a caller who fears waiting 50 years for another World Series and wants a win while his father is still alive. The hosts tear into GM David Stearns' perceived lack of emotional connection, arguing that running the team "like a business" without caring for the fans is a recipe for failure. The discussion quickly turns fiery, questioning the deep-seated mistrust Mets fans have for Steve Cohen and whether the Metropolitan Park casino project is the real priority over a winning team. Finally, the talk shifts to the Yankees, where Sal slams Brian Cashman for the "stupid qualifying offer" to Trent Grisham, calling it the major mistake that crippled the Yankees' ability to land Cody Bellinger and other key free agents. They debate the Yankees' appetite for a long-term deal with Bellinger, drawing parallels to the costly, ultimately failed pursuit of Juan Soto.

In this special "Days of Roar" bonus episode, Evan Petzold welcomes USA TODAY Sports MLB columnist and insider Bob Nightengale to recap MLB's Winter Meetings in Orlando. Evan and Bob discuss the biggest storyline of the 2025-26 offseason: Will the Detroit Tigers trade Tarik Skubal, and if not, where will the back-to-back American League Cy Young winner sign after the 2026 season — with 10 years, $450 million as the expectation? Do the Tigers have a chance to sign Alex Bregman if his market collapses again, or is he destined to return to the Boston Red Sox, even on another short-term contract? At the Winter Meetings, Kyle Schwarber signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, Edwin Díaz signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pete Alonso signed with the Baltimore Orioles. What happens to free-agent position players such as Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, Bo Bichette, and what about free-agent pitchers like Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai and Ranger Suarez? For more on the Tigers, Evan and Bob discuss the chances of the Tigers winning the AL Central in 2026 — and what moves the Tigers need to have a chance to win the World Series.

Pete Alonso is out, and Boomer is declaring "the great Met reset!" Gio still has faith in Steve Cohen's World Series promise, arguing the team is tearing down to truly build a winner.

The Mets offseason is in chaos after the Pete Alonso departure! Boomer is calling it "The Great Met Reset," but Gio is preaching patience, arguing Steve Cohen is tearing it down to build a World Series champion, potentially preparing for a run at Skubal next year! Plus, Jerry delivers his update with Ron Darling "flabbergasted." We'll also dive into the reaction from BT & Sal, hear from Philip Rivers on coming out of retirement, and the shocking Michigan scandal involving fired coach Sherrone Moore's inappropriate relationship and subsequent arrest. Finally, we open the phone lines to hear from Mets fans.

Boomer declares "The Great Met Reset" after Pete Alonso's departure, but Gio defends Steve Cohen's World Series plan, arguing the moves set the stage for a big future signing like Skubal, and he's "had it with basic sports radio takes" on the situation. We'll hear raw fan emotion, plus why Ron Darling was 'flabbergasted,' and get Joe Benigno's furious reaction blaming Cohen for selling fans "a bill of goods." Jerry has updates on the shocking firing and arrest of Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore in a stunning fall from grace, the mysterious Philip Rivers comeback (is he playing this week, or what?), and the outrageous ESPN L.A. vs. Sal Licata Moment of the Day. Finally, we wrap up with Boomer's list of 'hapless' sports franchises and reaction to the new WFAN lineup.

BT & Sal dive into a heated debate on which New York team has the better chance of winning the next World Series, with Sal declaring it's the Yankees "by a long shot." They argue the Yankees' current roster is superior, their pitching is "superior," and their path in the American League is easier without a juggernaut like the Dodgers blocking the way—a major hurdle for the Mets in the NL. The discussion highlights the Yankees' frustratingly quiet offseason, with Cashman focusing on three Rule 5 picks after 14 years, while Mets rumors swirl around Paul Goldschmidt ("washed up Yankee") and a potential pursuit of former Yankees first-rounder Willson Contreras to replace the departed Alonso. The hosts conclude the Yankees are sadly in a much better position "right now," despite an unexciting winter.

Most golfers and entrepreneurs obsess over mistakes. You replay the double bogey, the blown meeting, the missed opportunity—yet rarely study what went right. Today's guest is one of the world's leading performance coaches, Justin Su'a, and he's here to flip that script. Justin has coached Super Bowl champions, All-Stars, World Series teams, and top CEOs. His gift? Helping high performers create the mental systems that turn pressure into clarity and success into repeatable patterns. In this episode, you'll learn how elite athletes review wins and losses, build emotional resiliency, upgrade their self-talk, and protect their relationships while chasing greatness. If you're serious about leveling up your mental game—on the course or in business—this is your masterclass. In this episode, you'll learn: Why only studying your failures keeps you from unlocking your full potential. Justin's simple three-question reflection framework that works for golfers, athletes, and executives. How to create a repeatable after-round / after-action review that fits your personality. The difference between leading and lagging indicators—and why that matters more than your score or revenue this week. How to think in second- and third-order consequences so your pursuit of greatness doesn't quietly destroy your health or relationships. A practical way to see negative thoughts as "mental rumble strips" instead of proof you lack confidence. How elite performers bounce back faster by reducing the frequency, intensity, and duration of their emotional blowups. This episode will challenge how you think about success, failure, self-talk, and the price you're willing to pay in your pursuit of excellence—on the course and in business.

Use a simple reflection loop — ask: What went well? What did I learn? What will I do better next time? Make reflection easy — choose the journaling format with the least friction so you'll actually do it. Think in systems — pursuing greatness without considering second- and third-order effects creates avoidable problems. Focus on leading indicators — control your routines, effort, and communication; results follow later. Upgrade your questions — better questions lead to better self-talk, better focus, and better performance. Resilience = reduced F.I.D. — decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of your emotional blowups, not eliminate them. Key Quotes: We don't just learn from losing—we also learn from winning. Success leaves clues if you're willing to go back and study it. Create a feedback loop: What did I do well? What did I learn? What's one thing I'll do better next time? Ask it every time, win or lose. The weakest pen is stronger than the strongest memory. You're always writing for your future self. Your pursuit of excellence has second- and third-order effects. If you don't think in systems, you'll chase greatness while unintentionally burning down your health or relationships. If you want better answers, ask better questions. Your brain is like a search engine—it will fill in whatever prompt you give it. Negative thoughts are mental rumble strips. They're not proof you lack confidence—they're signals you're losing focus, so gently guide yourself back into the lane. Progress isn't never hitting the red; it's hitting it less often, less intensely, and for less time—and then learning from every episode.

Guest: Toronto Star Baseball Columnist Gregor Chisholm This week in Deep Left Field, we wrap up the winter meetings with my partner on the Star's Blue Jays beat, Gregor Chisholm, who was in Orlando to watch the Jays introduce free-agent signee Dylan Cease and to talk to general manager Ross Atkins about the Jays' winter plans, Shane Bieber's forearm fatigue and Jose Berrios' state of mind, among other things. We also hear from newly-elected Hall of Famer Jeff Kent, baseball's all-time leader in home runs by a second baseman. Kent was drafted and developed by the Jays and, until he was traded for David Cone in August, was the only rookie on the eventual World Series champion 1992 Blue Jays for most of the season. And, as always, we open up the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca to hear from you!

This episode goes straight to the heart of Trump's chaotic Pentagon with one of the most respected national security reporters in America, Barbara Starr. In this all–new Manosphere Monday, Paul and Barbara dig into the debate around the boat strikes off Venezuela, war crime allegations, “Signalgate,” Trump's new defense strategy and what happens when the guardrails that protect U.S. troops start coming off.​ Barbara explains why she's never seen anything like Pete Hegseth's drama-fueled Pentagon, how the new “propaganda press corps” replacing traditional reporters in the briefing room is changing the flow of truth, and why Trump's walk-back from NATO looks like a gift-wrapped present to Vladimir Putin. They connect the dots from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, January 6th and today's surprise-attack risks—from Venezuela to China and Taiwan—and lay out what real vigilance and leadership should look like in 2025.​ Paul takes listeners through the latest on the controversial boat strikes, the escalating partisan fight on Capitol Hill, the National Guard deployment hearings, and the 3,000-page defense bill barreling through Congress while Trump hands himself a FIFA “peace prize” on Fox Sports. Barbara breaks down what's at stake for apolitical troops, the dismantling of military legal and diversity safeguards, and the danger of turning the Secretary of Defense into a full-time video performer instead of a wartime leader.​ They also zoom out to the bigger cultural moment—from Pearl Harbor remembrance and World War II's “greatest generation” to the rise of women's flag football and the Dodgers' World Series run—and close with “something good,” including Paul's unapologetic love for *NSYNC's holiday album and Barbara's countdown to spring training.​ Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

This week's episode comes to you straight from the breathtaking mountains of Whitefish, Montana, where our recent Annual IMPACT Retreat reached an entirely new level of inspiration, depth, and energy. The room was electric, the ambience was inspiring, and the conversations were powerful. And today, I've got something incredibly special for you — a LIVE interview with one of my closest friends and one of the brightest minds in all of professional sports, Chris Young, better known as "CY." Chris isn't just the President of the Texas Rangers — he's a Princeton graduate, a 17- year professional baseball veteran, a Major League All-Star, and a World Series champion both as a player and as an executive. But beyond the titles, CY is one of the most thoughtful, grounded, humble, and high-performing leaders I know. I trained him for more than a decade through the ups, the downs, the injuries, the comebacks, and the championship moments. We've shared thousands of hours in the gym, countless conversations about mindset, family, excellence, adversity, and purpose… and to bring him to Whitefish this year was truly special. In this candid, emotional, and wisdom-filled conversation, CY opens up about his journey from Princeton to the Big Leagues to leading a world-class MLB organization. He talks about culture, leadership, adversity, mindset, fatherhood, and the exact values that have shaped his life and the Texas Rangers clubhouse. If you're a business owner, parent, athlete, coach, sports fan, or anyone striving to be a better leader, this episode is going to speak directly to your soul. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The core values CY built the Rangers organization around and how YOU can apply them to your team, business, or family. How to eliminate toxicity, reinforce standards, and lead people with clarity and accountability. Why baseball — and life — is a game of failure, and how resilience and self-belief can change everything. Powerful stories from CY's playing days, including injuries, comebacks, competition, and even a Major League brawl (This was funny!). Why your environment, your training partners, and your inner circle matter more than you think. CY's most emotional moment in baseball and the story of pitching the day after his father passed. Lessons on fatherhood, youth sports, and raising confident, grounded kids. How to create an environment where people outperform expectations and realize their dreams. WOW-o-WOW…Chris Young is the real deal—heart, humility, hunger, discipline, and leadership at the highest level. He's one of the rare ones, and I'm truly blessed to call him a friend. As you listen to this conversation, please take a moment to reflect on your own journey. Where can you elevate your leadership? Where can you strengthen your standards, sharpen your fundamentals, and get your mind right even more? This episode is pure jet fuel for the soul and a powerful reminder of what's possible when you lead with deep passion and purpose. If this episode moved you, inspired you, or fired you up, please share it with a teammate, a colleague, a fellow parent, or anyone who could use a dose of championship-level wisdom today.
