I’m excited about my guest today. A mutual connection and PYP MVP introduced us which goes to show how powerful and essential building relationships is to moving forward today. His name is Joel Goldberg, and he not only embodies the fundamental principles of this podcast, but he’s also an exceptional human who values depth over hot takes and authentic conversation over soundbytes. He is a sports fan like I am, and makes his living as broadcaster with the Kansas City Royals baseball franchise. He also has a fantastic podcast called "Rounding the Bases" and two books: Small Ball Big Results and Small Ball Big Dreams. Oh ya, and he won an Emmy for his journalism work. Truly an All-Star!   We definitely round the bases together, diving into how trust, authenticity, and purpose can transform your professional journey, whether you're in media, sports, or any field. Joel shares candid insights about navigating generational differences, maintaining integrity in a fast-paced digital world, and finding your true calling. This episode is a playbook for anyone seeking to understand leadership beyond titles - revealing how making others better is the ultimate measure of success. Perfect for professionals, aspiring leaders, and anyone looking to reinvent themselves with purpose and passion.   Connect with Joel on his website: https://www.joelgoldbergmedia.com/  On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelgoldbergkc/  Listen to his podcast: https://www.joelgoldbergmedia.com/podcast    = = = = = Extra Stuff: I’m exploring what it means to stay grounded in an accelerating world. You’re welcome to follow along.
