On this episode of the Back 9, baseball lifer Jeff Manto joins Dennis and Josh. Jeff was a prodigious home run hitter who spent the front 9 of his career bouncing between the major leagues and the high minors, including championship runs in the Yankees and Indians organizations. He shares what he learned about team culture, and how good winning culture creates winning outcomes.
Jeff also presents a unique perspective on how he knew when it was time to move on to the rest of his life, and how we can all make that decision easier on ourselves. Along the way he pays tribute to his mentors, reflects on how to be free of regret, and leaves us with timeless lessons on leadership, transition and purpose. So step into the batters’ box with us, on the Back 9.
