In this episode, we sit down with Richmond legend Parney (and of course, JOE T) to talk about the journey behind the Flying Squirrels, the philosophy that built one of the most unique brands in minor league baseball, and what comes next.
From the early days of skepticism around the “Flying Squirrels” name to becoming a cornerstone of the Richmond community, Parney shares stories that define an era. We get into the creation of CarMax Park, the reality of a nonstop sports lifestyle, and the moment he realized it was time to step back and reset.
Along the way, we hear behind-the-scenes stories of unforgettable promotions, clubhouse culture, and the relationships that made it all meaningful. Plus, Parney opens up about what’s next: the Parney Time Podcast, his upcoming book, plans for bringing hockey back to Richmond, and new ventures still in the works.
This episode isn’t just about baseball. It’s about building something bigger than yourself... and knowing when to change.
