What a great way to kick off the baseball season with a super fun episode about a guy who’s whole career was inside the world of sports. Gary Saunders had an exciting career in management and marketing/sales working the minor league baseball circuit. He traveled around the country working for about a dozen different organizations and capped it all with a big time sports exec job at University of Mississippi.
You don’t need to a sports fan to love this episode. Gary retired to Florida with his wife Eileen. He started what he thought would be a dream retirement and just become a beach bum. Gary who always was a busy guy, soon found himself bored out of his mind and has put together a combination of part-time jobs that as he says, “puts a smile on his face everyday.”
He went back to his roots and got his dream job being the music/sound guy for the Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training team and during the summer works for their minor league affiliate. He’s a popular radio DJ with the very cool handle of “HoDad” on the Longboat Luau show. What’s a “HoDad”? You’ll need to listen to the episode.
And get this — he’s also a resident butler at the fancy St. Regis hotel. Plus, a whole lot more. Most importantly he’s build a really cool community of friends through each of his part-time jobs. This episode is 100% fun and inspiration! You’ll dig it all…
