Mike Berardino is joined by longtime baseball scout Kimball Crossley, who spent the last 15 years with the Toronto Blue Jays. He talks about his desire to meld analytics with traditional scouting, how he got into the business as a journalism major who never played varsity baseball and how he's put his theatre background to use while working in professional baseball.

Kimball Crossley, Scout and Renaissance Man

“We might stress out about something in the real world, whether it’s traffic or parking or something going not the way you want at work, and all you have to do is come home to a child, and watch that child eat a bowl of ice cream or celebrate seeing a bunny in the yard, and you realize how … they’re so in the moment and it’s so easy to please them in the simple pleasures of life. It makes me realize, ‘What am I worried about this for? Why do I get hung up on that?’ That’s the celebration for me—those moments. And [my daughters] bring that home for me.” When it comes to parenting, there is no ‘getting it right.’ We’re all just winging it, acting on instinct to do the best we can. Best case, you make decisions out of love and savor those perfect moments that make it all worth, even on the most frustrating days. Kimball Crossley’s daughters inspired him to write When I Am with Dad, a picture book that celebrates spending time with dad—even if he does things a little differently.  Kimball enjoyed a 13-year career as a sportswriter with bylines in The New York Times and The Providence Journal, among others, before becoming a professional baseball scout for the Toronto Blue Jays. On this episode of Men on Purpose, Kimball joins Emerald to share his motivation to write the picture book and the long, arduous process of getting published. He offers his vision for When I Am with Dad moving forward, explaining how the book fills a gap in the market and his confidence in the power of the book to ‘sell itself.’ Listen in for Kimball’s ‘act out of love’ approach to parenting, and learn how his daughters keep him grounded in what’s truly important. What You Will Learn What inspired Kimball to write When I Am with Dad Kimball’s motivation to persevere during the five-year publishing process Kimball’s vision for the book moving forward How Kimball solicited feedback from industry, non-industry players Kimball’s insight around parenting  There’s no ‘getting it right’ Follow instincts, act out of love  Kimball’s approach to parenting  Have structure in mind Stay open to kids’ needs  How Kimball’s theatre background informs his parenting How Kimball’s daughters remind him of what’s truly important Connect with Kimball Crossley When I Am with Dad Resources When I Am with Dad by Kimball Crossley Kimball’s Blog Suggest a Guest If you (or someone you know) are one of the worlds Magnificent Men On Purpose who should be considered for a guest spot on the show APPLY HERE: bit.ly/PitchMen Connect with Emerald GreenForest Emerald’s Website Emerald on LinkedIn Emerald on Twitter Email: listeners@menonpurposepodcast.com This episode is sponsored by the Creative Age Consulting Group.
