What does interviewing World Series champions and leading corporate keynotes have in common? According to longtime sports broadcaster Joel Goldberg, it all comes down to trust, authenticity, and powerful communication.

In this episode, Joel joins Tim Newman to talk about how 30 years in sports media, including 17 with the Kansas City Royals, shaped his communication skills beyond the mic. From cold calling his way into broadcasting to navigating grief in the clubhouse, Joel shares what it really means to build trust, read the room, and speak with purpose.

He opens up about battling imposter syndrome, mastering active listening skills, and why sometimes the best thing you can say… is nothing at all. Whether you're giving a big presentation or just trying to be heard at work, this conversation will help you connect more deeply and speak with confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why public speaking confidence starts with repetition, not perfection
  • How to overcome imposter syndrome, even after 1,000 interviews
  • The role of emotional intelligence in leadership communication
  • What “small ball” means for career growth and powerful communication
  • How reading the room and respecting silence builds deeper trust
  • Why storytelling techniques outperform stats, even in sports
