Meet the Speaker

Joel Goldberg

Joel Goldberg broke into the sports broadcasting scene by knocking on the doors of television stations, cold calling broadcast executives and sending out resume tapes in the 1990s. His career was never handed to him. Rather, it was the product of building connections and dedication, mixed with years of hardwork.

Joel has worked in four markets during a 30 year career, covering two World Series Championship teams and thousands of baseball games, not to mention multiple Super Bowls, NHL playoffs and NCAA March Madness basketball games. Joel has had the pleasure of interviewing countless athletes, Hall of Famers and celebrities while traveling the world, telling stories from famous stars to under-the-radar role players. His longtime job covering the Kansas City Royals as a host and reporter since 2008 is a privilege, enabling him to entertain, inform and connect fans to athletes.

Through his years of storytelling and watching championship organizations succeed (and fail), he realized his access to methods executives use to build culture and championship teams translated to the corporate world.

He began a motivational speaking business in 2017. He is the host of the podcast Rounding the Bases with Joel Goldberg and the author of the books Small Ball Big Results and Small Ball Big Dreams.
