“Why would you want to go work for the Padres??? Nobody in San Diego cares about the Padres!” ⚾️

That was a direct quote from someone when I said I was moving to San Diego in 2013. 😬

My answer was, “because we’re going to change that!” 💥

There is nothing more satisfying than talking to teams at the early stages of a rebuild and letting them know that it will be okay and YOU can make a difference. 🌟

The other parts of the equation are:

1. A clear direction for the brand that answers to fans’ expectations 🎯

2. A commitment from the whole team and ownership to live up to those expectations 🙌

3. Discipline to stay focused on the goals and ignore the noise and the haters 💪

One media member actually told me, “You’re behaving like you’re still in Boston and this is a championship team. Well, you’re not, and this is San Diego!” 🤦‍♂️

Imagine if we listened?

Set a goal and go after it together! 🚀
