Winning in Baseball and in Business with Joel Goldberg

Small Business Matters

The voice of the Kansas City Royals, Joel Goldberg is also an Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, keynote speaker, and published author. He began dreaming of a career as a sportscaster at a young age, always wanting to deliver news of the previous night’s game to his teachers. He’s spent more than a quarter century on television, relying on relationship-building to tell athletes' stories. Joel’s unique access enables him to share lessons learned from the baseball field to the boardroom as a motivational speaker and to homes everywhere through his business podcast, “Rounding the Bases”. Joel helps clients build a stronger culture and speak about the little things that add up to the big home runs in business and life. He is the author of “Small Ball Big Results” and believes that finding passion and a reason for doing the little things can unlock big results.
