    272: Thriving Through Change

    Originally Published February 18, 2022 Join us as we delve into the world of Joel Goldberg, a television personality renowned for his work with the Kansas City Royals. Discover how principles from baseball can translate into success in various fields, as Joel shares stories of adaptation, perseverance, and finding purpose.
     
    Joel's journey from behind the scenes to in front of the camera offers unique insights into the intersection of sports, business, and life.  From broadcasting challenges to entertaining troops overseas, Joel exemplifies the power of tenacity and teamwork. Explore how embracing change and focusing on purpose can lead to a fantastic life. 
     
    About Joel Goldberg As a television personality with the Kansas City Royals since 2008, Joel's name has practically become synonymous with the World Champion baseball team. His behind the scenes work inside the clubhouse and the relationships he has built along the way give him a unique perspective on culture that translates to business success. 
     
    Recognizing that principles of baseball could be utilized in the business world, Joel launched his successful speaking business in 2016. With audiences eager for more regular content, his podcast Rounding the Bases was released shortly thereafter. Through his interviews with business leaders, athletes, and everyone in between, the bi-weekly installments expand on the topics of culture and leadership through a baseball lens. When the pandemic brought baseball to a screeching halt, Joel unexpectedly found himself with some extra time on his hands. Seizing the opportunity, he authored his first book "Small Ball, BIG Results," advancing his rapidly growing multi-media company from third base to home.

Everyone Can Manifest A Fantastic Life!

Whatever your obstacle, whatever you seek, Dr. Lycka and his guests can help you manifest your fantastic life. I listened to episode #182 and even as a paid speaker, I learned a few golden nuggets from Tyler Foley. In episode #180 I discovered a like minded coach and educator in Renaye Thornborrow, we both believe children and teens begin a fantastic life at an early age. I’m having a better day having listened to Dr. Lycka’s “How To Live A Fantastic Life.” Cheers!
