It must be said that this conversation started after Eric heard about Rob Cressy in a meeting with Ann Lademann of Kids In Seats. Coming away impressed with Rob’s podcast, Eric reached out to Rob via LinkedIn.

They had some back and forth on LinkedIn and email–ultimately it led to a phone chat and more messaging. And now this podcast episode.

The point of saying all that is Rob and Eric do not connect if Rob doesn’t have a podcast and likewise if Eric doesn’t have a podcast. And it also must be stated that with them both being active on LinkedIn, it allowed for the communication to happen. Content works. Podcasting works. Engagement on social media works. It can lead to what we hope you will think is a conversation you can learn from. Rob, Eric, and their teams at KazSource and Bacon Sports have learned from it. We hope you enjoy this podcast chat!

Getting dirty and doing the work on and off the field. In this episode, we chat with Sean Farrell, CEO of Quality Data Systems and former Minor League Baseball Player for the Oakland Athletics. We discuss the life of a minor leaguer, business lessons from sports, and doing the work.  

Sean learned from a young age that if he was going to make it on the field, he had to get dirty. He has taken those same lessons from the ball field and applied them to the business world.  

Sean proves that if you put in the work, you can knock it out of the park.  

If you are a fan of baseball, hustle, and leadership, you will enjoy this conversation.
