Episode notes

Are you ready to transform your failures into your greatest competitive advantage? In the high-stakes world of Major League Baseball, even the best players fail seven out of ten times. In this episode, Damon sits down with 30-year veteran sports journalist Ken Davidoff to discuss how the resilience learned on the diamond can be the ultimate blueprint for success in the boardroom and at home. Drawing from his book, 101 Lessons from the Dugout , Ken shares powerful stories of Hall of Famers and everyday leaders who mastered the art of "tagging up", pausing to control reactions before they spiral.
