Brent Gambill’s career has taken him from serving ice cream at the Paragould Dairy Queen to working with Major League Baseball legends and leading communications for NASCAR’s racetracks.

A Ridgecrest High School graduate, Brent’s journey includes a year with the Los Angeles Dodgers, years at SiriusXM covering MLB, including pioneering their social media coverage, unforgettable moments like the final season at Yankee Stadium, a Fenway Park World Series, and working alongside the likes of Cal Ripken Jr., Vin Scully, and Sandy Koufax. 

In this episode, Brent shares how law school opened unexpected doors, why persistence matters (“You only need one yes”), and what he’s learned from over two decades in communications. He also takes us behind the scenes of NASCAR’s most exciting events — including the Chicago Street Race — and reflects on the values that drive his work: integrity and curiosity.

Whether you’re a sports fan, a NASCAR enthusiast, or just someone chasing a big dream, Brent’s story is full of insight, humor, and encouragement.
