| 0:00.0 | Welcome to How Leaders Lead. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm David Novak and I'm here with the Cool Kula Callahan. |
| 0:10.0 | Kula, how is your week? |
| 0:12.0 | I had a fantastic week. How was yours? |
| 0:15.0 | Oh, fantastic. You know, I got to play a lot of golf and actually won a couple things, which was really fun for me. That's incredible. Can we talk about that for 20 seconds at least? What'd you win? |
| 0:24.6 | Well, I became the oldest person in the history of Shinnecock, the famous golf course where the U.S. Open has been played a few times, to win the Shinnocococ Club Championship. |
| 0:36.5 | Let's go, David. Not the senior club championship. |
| 0:39.3 | I'm talking about the regular club championship. |
| 0:42.3 | So let me tell you something, it was a really special week for me. |
| 0:45.3 | And then I followed that up by shooting a 69, which is my age at National Golf Links. |
| 0:51.3 | I don't know what happened to me. |
| 0:53.3 | I think I had an out-of-body experience, but it sure was fun. And I had my grandkids with me. I had Audrey, Luke, and Claire, with me, and my daughter, Ashley, and her husband, John, we had a great, great week. I think I lived a Walter Middy week. I had a grin on my face. In fact, I still have a grin on my face. I don't know how you couldn't have a grin on your face after all that, especially the club championship and with your whole family there. It's so fun. Congratulations. Thanks, cool. I appreciate it. All right. Well, in today's three more questions episode, we're doing a deep dive into the conversation that you had was last week's podcast guests, who was Rob Manfred, the commissioner of Major League Baseball. And I happened to go to a Major League Baseball game yesterday. I'm in Atlanta. And I went to a Braves game at Truis Park. And it was so fun. But I felt like I had the inside scoop on everything because I had just listened to your episode with Rob. Well, you also need to listen to my episode with Terry McGurk. He's the chairman of the Atlanta |
| 1:49.8 | Braves, and he basically was the man behind Truis Park, which is one of the greatest baseball fields |
| 1:55.9 | in the world. I mean, this guy is great. And of course, the Atlanta Braves won a world championship |
| 2:00.9 | last year. And I actually met Rob Manfred playing golf with Terry McGurck, who's an excellent |
| 2:07.2 | golfer, both of them on. Did you beat both of them on that off course? No, I think they probably |
| 2:12.1 | wax me. You know, I got lucky this past week. I don't know if that's luck, but it's something. |
| 2:35.0 | It's probably just a lot of skill in practice. But if you haven't already heard that interview with Rob Manfred, go back into the feed and be sure to give it a listen. Rob has this superpower of finding common ground, which is really hard to do when you're in a position like his. He has so many people he has to keep happy. The 30 owners, |
| 2:41.5 | the players, the union, and the fans of baseball. It's a tough, tough challenge. That's for sure. |
| 2:46.0 | And I want to get into our three more questions with you, David, putting you back in the hot seat. |
| 2:46.7 | You ready for it? |
| 2:48.1 | Let's go. Come on. |
