Washington Nationals’ Owner Paxton Baker's Guide to Creating Your Own Success Opportunities

That Moment with Daymond John

In a world where success is often equated with fame, it’s important to recognize and celebrate those who have made an extreme impact in their fields without receiving the same flowers as those in front of the camera. Paxton Baker, my latest guest, is the perfect example of that. He joined me to open up about his experiences working his way through BET to an executive position, how he strategically put himself in the position to become a sports team owner, latching onto what you’re passionate about, and more. He’s incredibly business savvy but manages to explain his approaches and methods in ways that any listener can understand and work towards. 

You need to tune in not only to hear his powerful story, but to establish:

  • A position for yourself doing what you actually find value and meaning in

  • Long-lasting relationships that provide opportunities that you couldn’t have otherwise been exposed to

  • Negotiating and communication skills that secure deals and make people want to work with you (hint: it’s not about how you tell somebody to do something, it’s how you ask)

  • A multifaceted public persona as opposed to a one-dimensional character

  • Healthy habits that leave you clear-headed and focused

  • …and more!
