Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wards, Happy Wednesday, everybody. My name is Scott Morgan Roth

(00:25):
the Motor City mad Mouth. This is the real and
the rare, and I am pleased to be joined by
my special address, Trent and Clark. Leading about Trent and Clark.
This guy is an author and he's been around baseball
a while. So over the next thirty to forty five
minutes or so, we're gonna give you a lesson on leadership.
And look at all those rings at this guy likes

(00:46):
the flash around. Good stuff. Well, Trent, welcome to the
reel and rare.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Thank you, Scott. Always good to be with the Motor
City mad Nouth. I'm telling you, like, there's no place
I'd rather be on a hump day.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Well, let's tell you we you have it, man. This
is our time to go out there and shine. And
I know you have a lot for people to go
out there and be educated about. Let me give you
a little bit of an overview about Trent. Okay, he's
got a book out there that talks about leading winning teams,
how team the whole team works, and motivation and strategy

(01:20):
to achieve big lead success. And he's flashing it up there.
So by the end of this show, I hope everybody
will have an opportunity to reserve their copy as well.
It's a good book and there's no way that when
you have some of these books out there, that you
can pick up a few things out there, then you
can definitely learn a lot and be a lot smarter
with it than you would be without it. So with
that said, Trent, why don't you give the audience a

(01:42):
background information about what you've done in baseball and whatever
else you've been and then I'll start asking you some
questions about the book. All right?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
For sure? For sure you know my background is an
athletic all the way. Grew up son of an entrepreneur,
and two of my passions right sports and entrepreneur, and
I played a lot of sports in high school, played
two sports at a Division one school in college, and
then went on to a career in coaching in pro

(02:10):
baseball for over thirteen years. Got a chance to coach
at Michigan State with coach Saban, coach Izzo, and a
bunch of coach Mason, the hockey coach at the time,
fabulous group of staff up there, and was blessed man
three World Series along the way in pro ball and
just met fabulous people along the way. But meanwhile, while

(02:30):
I was in baseball, my off seasons were filled with
investing in companies. I was starting private training companies and
building businesses for gyms for people's homes. And I owned
one eight hundred got junk in all of Phoenix, and
I owned about sixteen franchises there, and so I just
kept growing and building. I've started twelve brands now, I've

(02:51):
been a long time entrepreneur organization members. So it just
culminates in a book of all these lessons. Scott along
the way, Well.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
You can be associated with the likes of Tom Izzo
and Nick Saban. You're doing pretty good work, josh great
to see it. Trenton On here, Okay, Joshua Door obviously
you know he's a guy that follows a lot of
what we do. So as we go deeper into this,
how did you get the bug to lead as a kid?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, you know, as a leader as a kid, I
always was the youngest of four in my family, and
very early on I was always playing sports with my
brother's friends, so they were six and four years older.
So I learned a lot of things that was coming
were coming at me. That would come at me ahead

(03:39):
because I was listening to their conversations. I'm playing in
their games, and I got, you know, some some notoriety
for being a good player with kids my age. When
I started playing with kids my age, and I found
out it was really easy to play kids my age
like it was hard way with kids that were four
and six years older. And so I learned a lot
of hard lessons out of the playground with the big kids.

(04:01):
And I probably learned some foul language too. But you know,
I got started, and I was a hard worker, and
I started with a paper route, and then they added
three paper routes on my docket and kept adding streets
in my neighborhood. And man, I hit about seventh or
eighth grade, and I was being asked to be in

(04:22):
student government and I was being a chance to go
out there and go play football. And three of my
friends would go do the three paper routes I had
at the time, and I was managing them and paying
them a dollar a day and making about five dollars
to do my three routes. So I thought I was brilliant, Scott.
I thought, like man, I went and played football. My

(04:44):
friends went and did the routes and I made two bucks,
and I thought, man, I got to be brilliant because
I made ten bucks go in to football practice this
week in five days. And then of course I kept
the whole money on the weekends doing them all. And
so I was in business and realized that you know,
you gotta lead, You gotta you gotta go ahead, and
you gotta lead your teams, and you gotta lead in
the classroom. And and I felt like I was built

(05:08):
for that paper out.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Boy, I'd say I had a few paper routes on
my day. Folks, if you know anything about paper routes, okay,
and I mean paper roads. We're going back a long way.
And when you're back in Michigan, you got that red
wagon and it's and you can't even drive a bicycle
out there, otherwise you're gonna be slipping. You'll never get
the thing done before you go to school. I ended
up my first paper out was with the Detroit pre Press,
and then eventually got one with the Detroit News later on,

(05:33):
and also the Observer back then. So I can appreciate.
Let's go to the chat rooms, getting busy already. Turbo
Jet Bottom says, good evening and Katie Ebling said, what
motivated you to write the box? Trent? There you go,
keep it going.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, what motivated me to write the book was I
have all these stories I've spoke. I have been a
public speaker and now I have spoken in over seventeen countries.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
And so I've been tapped up on the shoulder to
go out and lead into programs and talk about my
experiences and World Series Championships and that journey of excellence
that I experienced from this eleven year period and seven
championships and then eleven years and so I always have

(06:18):
been the speaker, but never the writer. And so I
have a top three percent downloaded podcast called Winners Find
a Way and had a lot of fabulous guests on that.
And so Wiley Publishing and Wiley Business has come to
me and they've seen that I've been in this business
community a long time and said, hey, we'd love you
to write this book for us. And so that got

(06:41):
me set up. It was a bucketless item, Scott that
I thought maybe I would do one day, Candy, but man,
so when the offer came, it's kind of like having
a children, right, Like you're never really ready to start
the family. But like when it just hits you know
it's time to go, and here we go. And so
the opportunity came for me and off we went.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
All right, Trent, You know what I asked a lot
of my guests, says, I'm going to ask you the
same thing. Do you feel that you need to be
a good writer to be a good speaker of any kind,
whether it's on TV, radio or public speaking. Because I've
always been a firm believer if you can speak language
and you can write it, you can speak it eloquently.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, I think they're both two separate skills, but they're
both great skills to have, right, And I think that
we're losing that right now in our country. We're losing
the wordsmith's. We're losing we're doing the AI thing, and
I think that's helping in a lot of ways and
then hurting in other ways. And I think the texting
and the quick messaging stuff. People are starting to talk

(07:38):
in acronyms, right, I mean, we're speaking in acronyms. And
I get the military where there's you know, four hundred
and seventy acronyms or something, but like it's it's becoming dangerous,
and all of a sudden, I think people have forgotten
words matter, words matter how you write them, words matter
how you speak them, and I think we're losing that

(08:00):
in our country.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, and amazingly enough, And when I ask you this,
and I know we've talked privately about this, then when
I ultimately get involved with public speaking, I've only got
one subject, Trent. It's only one that you have to
be a good writer to be a good speaker of
any kind, regardless of what it is. And I know
with you being a coach, that you said that you
coached me along the way how to get speaking engagements.
But I only need one thing to talk about. I've

(08:23):
been living it for forty four years anyway. So again,
folks out there, if you're listening, Trent and I are
here about to make sure you get as much out
of this show or any shows that we do going forward.
If you can write, you can speak well. No offens
or buts about it. It's all about English. I'm gonna
tell you interesting story though, many years ago, when I
was in college, That's why I'm wearing my uff stuff. Okay,
I was actually dating a Japanese girl. I mean how

(08:47):
why am I even telling everybody on this It is
a great story. At Paul Harvey would say, I'll tell
you all of the story. I'm not the rest I'd
sorry my Paul Harvey.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Pretty good, that's good and now story right.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
And George Raycorn who here is by the way, him
and I did that. We were working back in the
day for a sports thought show and Paul Harvey actually
preceded us. So I'm over at the US out and
this girl here is trying to take the TOFO task.
Now here's the thing. She didn't know nothing about English.
She practically thinking mostly Japanese, just enough broken English to

(09:24):
get it figured out. Meanwhile, where do you think I'm
working the Tampa Tribune. Oh what better thinking do you have?
You got a Japanese girl, absolutely adorable, name is h me.
Oh she beautiful and a guy like me working at
the Tampa Tribune. So I'm working all these late hours
and all that come back to the dorm really stressed out.
My back, even at the age of twenty twenty one,

(09:46):
is so stressed out with all that driving I had
to do. Let me tell you some you talk about
an oriental massage. This girl gives it to you a
pretty good What did I do? Though? I helped her
go work through the transition about speaking about the English language,
that's where all of this is going. And I said,
you me, okay, I'll take a Nobody knew any about

(10:07):
Aaron Rodgers roll. I know he wasn't born back then,
but I said, relax. Most of the game of learning
the English language is all predicated about relax and not
overthinking it. So I went over it. That spent as
much time as she wanted. I knew what I was
get when I got back to the performatory night anyway,
And she's a good person, good companion. Shit too, by

(10:27):
the way, And you know what happened. Eventually as time
went on, she did pass a TOEFL test and menitaia.
She was so grateful to me. What's a moral of
the story. Okay, you know what we all know. You
have to really relax, but you have to make sure
that you don't overthink, and you have to be able
to go out there and understand that knowing English is

(10:49):
one thing, Okay, being able to execute it as another
story in it was just one of those situations where, again,
if you're a good writer, you're a good speaker, but
she to from nothing, but she figured it out as
we were able to get her to calm down a
little bit and all that. And that's why I wanted
to share this story out here, because again, like I

(11:09):
told you before, writing to me at least a good
speaking and I am going to be eventually down the
road looking to make an income. With that precise, I
don't need any other topics. I only need that one.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
In that said, yeah, I think it's It's really how
I started speaking Spanish for baseball was learning to read
and write it and that really helped my translation of
how I could do it, and that was a great
start for me. I mean, and reading the written word
was actually it became much easier to write and read

(11:43):
and really more read than write. That was still a challenge,
but learning to read the language really helped the language.
It really helped expedite things because you had that visual
image as well. But that was great that I could
read a newspaper when I was in the Dominican Republic
or somewhere else else. In baseball, that was great. And
so the players were always talking in different like dialect

(12:06):
as well as slang, so they didn't really speak like
what we would call the King's English. Right, So when
learning to write and read, it helped understanding a ton.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I'm letna tell you, if I knew of my Spanish
fills are like, I'd have a whole lot more easier
time with Inner Miami because they're head coached me Spanish
and I don't know a darn thing about Spanish. There
is ever a time I wish I learned a second
language of this, especially with Inner Miami. When I was
covering the Marlins during COVID. They have a Spanish section
side and then the regular so at least I wasn't

(12:38):
totally shut out of that. But you know, I think
of all the good comments I lost because they had
to go Spanish. What am I missing here? Well? Guess
what sick them? Ind I called myself a sick demand
when something goes bad, saying, man, you should have been
a multi lingual individual. Instead you're out there, you know,
limited to one. So with that said, good to get
those stories out there. So with that said, again, I

(13:00):
like to use that word tight because it's all about reinforcement.
How was the excellence refine for you on your athletic journey?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah? So kind of back to where it really started was.
You know, first it started with personal development, like how
can I be the best I can be? And so
I was again going back to that four and six
year old brother. I had the ability like they were
going to college and playing sports, and so I was
learning what the colleges were doing to train them, and
they were bringing that training back to me in high school.

(13:30):
So I was getting ahead of the competition from a
training and development side. And then meanwhile in these in
these eleven years and seven championships, it was just an
audit of excellence of why people won, and you know,
seeing players along the way like John Smoltz and Steve
Avery and some of the best Michigan talent in baseball.

(13:51):
There were lots of guys Matt Meski and tons of
major leaguers back in my day. And so it was
it was watching like these players and teams that started
winning and why they won and why we didn't win,
and and when we did win, why did why did
we get as far as we did to World Series

(14:12):
and the state championships and all that good stuff. And
so it was it was a journey of finding out
and looking in deeply into what was working and what
was not working. And what you find is it's a
very holistic experience and that you can't just do two
things really well and then the other three you stink at.

(14:32):
You've got to actually lift up all of the five,
all of the eight things all got to come to
get better at the same time. And I had a
couple of lessons along the way where I just really
learned where I was focused on doing one thing and
way better. Meanwhile it was dropping my skill in another
area because I wasn't giving it any time. And that

(14:53):
was not a recipe for success. You had to you
had to holistically work on all of it.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Did you say that you had the good pleasure are working?
Was Sparky Anderson?

Speaker 2 (15:01):
I did? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Me what I was like, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
So nineteen ninety three, I signed to the Tigers, and man,
I was super excited about going to Detroit being a
Michigan kid growing up in Battle Creek and listening to
Ernie Harwell every night on the radio. Man I was.
I was with my home state team and I was
fourteen years old when the Tigers won the World Championship
and Sparky was the manager then. So now fast forward

(15:26):
to nine years later, and I'm twenty three years old
going into old Tigers Stadium before they tore that thing down,
and uh, and I was like, man, I was in heaven.
This is just a it was every place they ever
wanted to be, because you know, when I was a kid,
I didn't I knew a little bit about religion, and man,

(15:47):
baseball was my religion. It was it was. I was
deep into it. And when I walked into Tigers Stadium
probably the first time when I was about ten years old,
and I saw that green grass, man, that was my cathedral. Man,
I was like, I'm home, baby, this is where I
want to be. And so walking back in there, you know,
I kind of set that site about that time when
I was ten. So you know, thirteen years later, I'm

(16:09):
walking through parking in the players lot at Tiger Stadium
and walking in through the tunnel now and seeing Tiger
Stadium from a very different angle that I didn't know.
Of course I knew existed, but you know, hadn't seen it.
Both utter exuberance and joy and also in the same
disappointment and what it really looked like down there as

(16:32):
almost at that time, right one hundred year old stadium
it was like, you know, I guess that at that
time it was one It was nineteen twelve, so at
that time it was eighty one years old, like it
was dated right, And I was like, wow, that was
a real wake up call. But Sparky was incredible, you know,
end of his career, that was his last year because
of the strike, and and and Vick Trzuski and his

(16:55):
staff were just amazing and just had the best stories
of just their careers and it was really cool. I
learned a lot from Sparky along the way.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, I had the opportunity to work with Sparky Anderson
during s free training Lakeland Joker Marching Stadium. So you
also had an opportunity to work with the Cleveland Indians.
Explained to me what that situation was all about.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, so in nineteen ninety five strikes over now right,
and so things are coming back online. And Cleveland had
offered me a position in ninety three when I took
the Tiger's position, and they offered me their position two
weeks after I had already accepted the Tigers, and the
position was for more and probably more responsibility maybe or

(17:36):
well probably not more responsibility, I guess but probably more
money for sure, and I felt like I was going
to get, like, you know, just a super experience in Detroit.
I think the home state kind of thing made a
difference to go home, and my sister lived in the
Detroit area, so I had a place to stay. We
weren't making much money, I can tell you that either one.

(17:57):
But I turned down the offer with Cleveland because I'd
already accepted something. I was a man of my word,
and I had already given my commitment to Detroit, and
they had interviewed for a lot of people, and so
I honored the selection and stayed. And so in nineteen
ninety five, another opportunity came forward in Cleveland. This time
I took it. It was a major league job as

(18:18):
an assistant in the major league team and running the
minor league operations as well, and so it was a
lot of responsibility and they had it was fabulous in
the way that Scott They had a great budget. They
were just committed to this program. And when you when
you think about the areas of like strength and conditioning
and training athletes up, the NFL was great, right, I

(18:41):
mean they were incredible, and college football and some of
the sports were really good. But basically baseball was behind
the time, and there were like four or five teams
at that time that put their money where their mouth
was and really made a financial commitment to sports. And
one was by far, maybe not by far, but if

(19:04):
not the top, probably the top financial commitment in the program.
The White Sox were right there too, but they were
in it to win it, and you know, I think
it worked very well for them. I mean they saw
immediately on the ROI they were investing in a lot
of things. But you know, Minor League, Organization of the Year,
World Series two of the next three years, we were

(19:26):
hitting on all cylinders, and so it was a it
was a really fun uh, it was. It was a
It was a rock show man, that's what it was.
It was like being a traveling rock star with the
Cleveland Indians because they were so good and it was
just a ton of fun and we were fun to
watch and what an experience. It wasn't all like you know,
unicorns and rainbows. By the way, there's a lot of

(19:47):
hard work, but it was it was it was a
show man.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, let me tell you one thing straight think traditioning
touch a get enough publicity as it should when you're
dealing with one hundred and sixty two games in the
let alone answering training in the post man, I can
tell you right now when you wonder about Tommy John operation,
We're not going to We can do other episodes on this.
All I'm doing is scratching the surface on that. So

(20:12):
I think that a strength and conditioning coach should get
more credit. And eventually we're gonna bring Kevin Rand my
good buddy on down the line, but not tonight for
the purpose of saying on course here, but that's something
that people have to really take more seriously when you
look at all the nature of the injuries that are
attribute to not having the strength and conditioning coach. I
will bring up one Detroit example that the main most

(20:33):
valuable player in that Bad Boys era, one of the
players of the coach was Arnie Candor, and he's the
guy that kept him the Pistons in pretty good shape.
But that said, Joshua door actulluently, question for Trent, how
did you team up with the mad Mouth of what
do you guys have plan moving forward? Go ahead, Trent,
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Nice Josha, I love that man. First of all, that's
a great question of how I teamed up with the
mad Mouth man, like, how did we first meet? Scott,
tell the people that story about how we came to
know one another.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, you and I matt On LinkedIn, man, I think
we had something to do with the Sports Philanthropy Network
too Deadly. I believe that there was a communality. I
don't know how much of one, but I know that
we were both linked to that particular organization, which is
a great organization because they do a lot of good things.
But actually, Joshua, to answer a question, we ended up
meeting up on LinkedIn. For a lot of you folks

(21:24):
that underestimate LinkedIn, God almighty, please, this one of the
best professional sites you can meet and you need to
get on there right away. And that's why Trent and I. Now,
why don't you let the audience know, Trent, some of
the things that we do have that we're working on
together as time goes on, that we do have plan
moving forward. You can answer that.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Question, Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I have teamed up with
the MotorCity mad Mouth and I'm excited to start and
begin co hosting the MotorCity mad Mouth Show, which is
just you know, you've been out here, Scott for so
long in the media business and the writing business and sports,
and so I'm super excited about that show because I
am a guy who takes personal interest stories to heart.

(22:07):
You and I love Paul Harvey. We love some of
the greats, and of course we had a great you
know in Detroit for so many years learning you know,
mister Harwell, and we just have a lot of commonality
with media folks. Tim mead credible media person. So I
love doing these shows where you really just dive deep

(22:27):
into the topics and drive that. Of course, we're we
got baseball stitches. We got one hundred and eight stitches, right,
So that's gonna be an incredible show to be a
part of, you know, bringing my experience in college baseball,
high school baseball, pro baseball, and so I'm super excited
about joining the crew on that. That's gonna be a
bunch of fun. And so you know, hey, I hopefully

(22:48):
plug in where I can and help out, but just
excited to be a part of the MotorCity mad Mouth
environment man, because I know Scott brings the energy and
I love that.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, and you know what, like I said, I wouldn't
take anybody that show, but that particular show that Trent
and I are going to be on the No Filter network.
So while we interview a lot of different people, So
what we're trying to do is develop that network so
we can work within that network to also try to
get some of those co hosts as well. So, yeah, Joshua,
George is pretty excited about the fact that there is

(23:18):
a new hockey show that's the best on the channel,
which eventually you'll meet the guy. His name is Rod Peterson.
You'll eventually meet him as time goes on. Yeah, probably
most likely on the Motor City Man Mouse Show when
we do it. So I'm glad brought josh you know,
brought it up there. I have a lot of people
that they're going to meet. This is we're just getting started.
George Eichorn also said some felt that Lance Perris was

(23:39):
too both up. He was no question about that. But again,
you need guys like Clark and Ran to make sure
that these guys aren't what you call condominiums back there.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, and Lance, by the way, Lance is a great guy,
and you know, you never fault a guy for hard work,
always willing to do the hard effort work. And what
Lance learned early on when he got really strong, he
loved the weight room, and Lance learned that I can't.
That was one of those things like, hey, you can't
do one without the other. So what Lance learned was

(24:10):
he did get really strong and he neglected some of
his flexibility work. So we went back on him and say, hey, Lance,
you got to do this work because it's equally as
important to your strength is maintaining your flexibility. Maintaining all
this because it's going to be injury prevention. And he
got that right ultimately in his career. And I was
never too concerned about the bulked up except when he

(24:32):
lost flexibility early on. And I think you learned that.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
You know.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
One of the things I learned, Scott, going back on
this was I bulked up one year my junior year
in college. I picked up about twenty five pounds of
lean muscle. Man. And this is the funny thing when
ESPN says, you know, athletes can't gain twenty five pounds
of lean muscle. Of course they can, and they can
do it naturally. We've all done it before. Colleges do

(24:58):
it every year with Division I football play. They bring
in little skinny seniors from high school to one hundred
and ninety five pounds, and by Christmas they're two fifteen
and the girls are falling over. I'm home at Christmas break.
I'm telling you, it's crazy, and it's just training, table
and training and doing it right. The challenge I had
made the era of was picking up that twenty five pounds,

(25:19):
and I neglected to maintain my running, my running patterns,
my sprint work. And of course that's easy to do
when you play in Detroit and Toledo and winter places,
because in the winter months it's hard to get outside,
so you got to get inside the gyms. You got
to get in the inner tracks, the inside tracks. And
I had neglected it. And man, when I came out

(25:39):
in spring shin splints, I got stress fractures in my
shins ultimately in my tib and fib and you know,
couldn't carry the weight I had to drop about, you know,
ten to eleven pounds just to go back. So everything
I'd worked for I made the air of neglecting. One
part of that was so crucial.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Okay, all right, so tell me why was it entrepreneurship
such a draw?

Speaker 2 (26:03):
You know, entrepreneurship was such a draw because when you're
an athlete, you become a hyper learner and you get
so good at learning quickly because you have to take
in the information, adapt it and adapt it on the fly.
And he become successful. Right. We watched like Scotti Scheffler
in the Olympics the other day. Scotty comes in, he's
having a couple of tough rounds and then when he
goes like what nine under the last day to win it?

(26:25):
I mean, he makes his adjustments. He's one of the
best and making those adjustments on the fly and he
stays right there and it's incredible. Man. You know the
thing about entrepreneur it's competitive, it's relationship, it's hyper learning
at the four hundred level. And it just fit what
I wanted to do. I think the other thing Scott

(26:45):
that I learned about maybe I had to do entrepreneurship
because I was a bad employee. Maybe I was just
crap at being an employee because I wanted to change
things and fix things and make them better. And everyone's like, hey, kid,
why don't you just stay in your role and stop
trying to change the world. And I was like, man,
I gotta we gotta go. They weren't moving. They weren't
moving to my speed.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
You know, maybe that's why we get along so well,
we're both hyper learning and somebody gets on my way.
You I ended up coming the raging bull, and maybe
I went to the right school years yoursell Florida bulls. Yeah,
there's a method to all that, Paul Mackets I have
on it in the ring. Learning is a good term, folks.
If you have a pencil of paper, go out there

(27:27):
right now on hyper learning. We probably all qualify that
at some particular point. So let's go to this. So
there you go. Put that hyper.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Learning right there. Man, I teach you exactly how hyper
learning works. Right there, there you go.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
You'll be seeing a lot and all the different children
we're gonna be working on together. As Karen Carperner would say,
God rest in peace, Karen's Dartner. We will just begune.
But you don't want to hear me sing otherwise, bring
out the memorys class So whatever, All right? So who
so who are the most influential folks in your athletic career?

Speaker 2 (27:59):
You know, most in fluential people in my athletic career
were always my coaches, right I mean, they were the
people who loved on me in ways I didn't always understand. Right,
There was a lot of tough love along the way.
And man, I remember thinking, like some of these coaches, man,
they are just hard on me. Blah blah blah that

(28:21):
sob never gives me a break, Like they saw the
potential in me and never let me rest on it.
They never let me rest on my laurels. And so
you know, there were these relationships that I really didn't
always love in my life and then came to really
respect and admire later. And man, Darryl Davies was one

(28:41):
of those coaches that was just really stuck out certainly
stand down in the University of to Leo saw something
in me that you know, most people didn't, and I
was I always had, you know, those those guys and
they became advocates for me. And you know a lot
of people talk about Scott you know, it's all who
you know, all pro sports, it's all who you know. Well,

(29:03):
really it's who knows you because you know, Nick Saban
knew me, and he knew me to be a hard
working guy who would go through the wall and do
what needed to be in He knew I was a
winner that would find a way to win, and I
didn't know how I would do it. I wasn't the biggest,
I wasn't the fastest, I wasn't the strongest. But I'll
find a way to win. And he knew it. And
so when I asked him as a reference, he went

(29:25):
out and put his name on the line for me.
And when you got guys like that, who will stand
up for you? And I use the example when I
interviewed with the Yankees. I knew George Steinbrenner. He didn't
know me. So if mister Steinbrenner doesn't know me, it's
a different interview. If I'm walking in the room and
mister Steinbrenner goes, hey, man, Trent might be our guy.
He's only thirty five, he's already been to three World Series.

(29:47):
This kid kind of knows what he's gonna do and
can take us and sustain us in the Promised Land.
That's a different conversation if he knows who I am.
But he really didn't know And I knew him and
he didn't know me, So it wasn't who I know
you who knew me? Well there's that job.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Well, well, I actually worked with Steinbrenner a little bit
and we talked about it before. Yeah, I interviewed him
a couple of times. I got to mention this story.
We'll go to a station break in just a moment
after you answer this next question. But I'm going to
get to the Steinbrenner story first. Okay, cover the Fort
Lauderdale Yankees back in the eighties. Okay, I know about
George Steinbrenner. He goes through managers just as fast as

(30:25):
the auto auto companies can produce automobiles. Okay, you don't
believe me. Asked all the different ones that got hired
and fired. Of course, Billy Martin I think was hired
and fired seven time. Other story. So anyways, I knew
this going in. Okay, see him at the Fort Lauderdale
Stadium Fort Lotter early Yankees. I don't remember who the
opponent was. Nobody cares. So I asked him if he
give me an interview, no problem. He was cool about it,

(30:47):
and then I knew the Achilles heeal was, you know what,
don't ask the manager's question quite right away, or it
won't be a long interview. So what I did is
I went out there and pointly talked raved about it
farm system. Oh, George loved them minor leaguers. Let me
tell you he loved producing them. Rex Huddler said, I

(31:09):
want to get the heck out of here. I can't
make it up there, and he ripped George sign right
a new backside. But you know, Rex Huddler is still
in the game, by the way, but that's not the point.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Good run. So yeah, I know Rex seven years at
the Angels.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
No, I don't do you know, I can't wait till
all the different people were going to bring on these
shows are really making it. Well, yeah, you let them
know who you're with there over we got a lot
of stuff. So anyways, I do what I'm supposed to do.
I'm a really nice, good young guy. Tell I asked
the manager's question. I knew I was gonna get it.
I knew it. I knew it. Oh that's I'm out

(31:44):
of tiding of about BA ball. You know, talk about
all the success we're done. Okay, but here's the thing
I mean, not just paraphrase to get so many years ago. Now,
I will say this about mister Steinbrender. Okay, when you're
young or year old, he treats you the same way.
Ted Copple did the same thing on Nightline. Of course, Copple,

(32:05):
you ever heard of him? You know? Yeah, you see
New Nightline? Right, Okay, we all know him, all right,
the name guy that worked with Al Campani's another story.
Ask some manager's question. Boy, did George Steinbrener white him up? Too?
So your here's the moral of the story. Okay, if
you're gonna light me up, at least you wrote it up,
Ted Copple, I don't feel so bad anymore. Hey, let

(32:27):
all people be created equal, man, the young guy, the
old guy, George Stewner line better, let us have it.
And I wrote about it in my book and I
don't care. George Steinvender is in a Tampa crypt and
I'm out here talking about it here on live streaming here,
get it all right, good stuff and going nuts. That's
how I feel. I haven't had that much caffeine in
a long while. All I'm doing is drinking this punt

(32:50):
drink punch stuff. So for all you people wonder own
I'm drinking, don't worry about it. Right, We'll get to
another question here before we go to Kandy Ebling. So
let's talk about your entrepreneurship journey. I'm up to those
influential people out there impact a lot of that.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, you know, much like you know, when I went
to the entrepreneurial journey, I realized I didn't really have
a coach and I didn't really know how I was
going to get that done. And this was you know,
when I started, there weren't all these uh, you know,
accelerators and all these programs out there that were being
offered to create jobs. And so I went and I

(33:25):
found mentors right, and I really got into mentoring because
people would come along and I would ask world beaters. Man.
I would ask the top people in business, like, hey,
can you explain how you roast the top I would
take I'll take you to dinner, I'll wash your car,
I'll mow the lawn. Like I what could be trade
for a service so I could get some of your

(33:47):
time and make it valuable. And what I found, Scott,
was that nobody really asked the one percenters how they
got there. And I was like, man, I figured you
would have a line five hundred people out the door
for your ear, and they really didn't. And when they
really saw a young person just like mister Scheinman or

(34:08):
sawing you Scott like he's happy to go, Hey, man,
I want to do the interview. Yeah, let's do it,
man if I can help you out. And young man
is willing to hustle and get ahead, and he's got
the he's got the you know, ethics, and he's got
the bravery to come and ask him. He's got a
little moxie like they're willing. They see a little bit
of themselves in that and go yeah, I'll share, I'll share.

(34:29):
And man, there was just some real key people in
my life that you know. And I look at Coach
Saban as a mentor and that way I coached with him,
but he was real mentoring in my life. I mean
he was way ahead of me and coaching it's still
his way ahead. And it was just cool man. And
in business I found the same thing. I joined an

(34:50):
organization called EO to Learn Business Faster, the Entrepreneurs Organization,
and they had a mentoring program with what they called
the World Presence Organization. And these were business owners that
were over fifty fifty five years old, who were usually
now kind of not working in their business anymore. And man,
they were ecstatic to spend time with these young entrepreneurs

(35:13):
and business owners who were trying to figure it out,
and they really appreciated, you know, the challenge of trying
to run a business and work eighteen hours and raise
two small kids and still be a good husband and
have time to balance it all. And they they really
admired it, and they really appreciated it, and they could
reflect on when they were in that position and going, man,

(35:35):
I mucked this thing up, or this is what I
did right, and this is what I did wrong. Now.
What they didn't want to do is they didn't want
to change seats. Like no one really wanted to go back.
They didn't want to come back there and relive it.
But they would revisit it for me and walk me
through how to do it better than they did it,
and give me the good and they'd give me the bad.

(35:56):
And man, so you know, I always looked at it
like if a good mentor would come alongside the fork
in the road would go and they'd be like, hey,
if you're going to go down the right side, there's
a dragon down there. If you want to walk the
path of the dragon and feel the fire, go ahead.
The left side is going to take you a little longer,
but you're not gonna get burned, man. You will not
be singed. And let me tell you because I fought

(36:16):
that dragon man and lost a couple times, and out
of pride, I went back trying to beat it again.
And they were telling you, like, listen and if you
were a coachable guy, which I was because I always
had a coach in baseball. They loved it, and I mean,
for everyone out there, get a coach. It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
All right. With that said, we need a station break, Candy,
go ahead, take over for about thirty seconds from that whatever.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Back to you, Scott, all right, Candy, thank you very much.
Let's go back to the chat room. All right, d
Low's thankfully kind of words. That mouth is mad than
I get. I can't let you down more like fired
up word than real and rare words real and rare.
But I'm in real form, okay, Yeah, some mouths is
on fire MC forty four madmouth okay then forty four
years Trent, sorry if I missed it, and disregard if

(38:07):
you already answered. But what are those rings that you
have on? I'm sure you'd be more happy to show those.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there, I got the I got two
of them on right there, I got the ninety five.
That's the ninety seven World Series with the Clevelands. Always
loved this ring because of the shy like shaping it
like home plate, right. And then uh, that's the two
World Series Championship with the Angels. Uh, the only championship
the Angels ever won. And the top of the book.

(38:34):
I feature all three World Series rings on the cover
of the book. So, uh, those are the two I
got on. Now, that first ring you'll see here right
there is the Cleveland Indian Ring of nineteen ninety five.
It's a nice ring, looks like a class ring. It's
not particularly fancy, but you don't listen after forty eight

(38:55):
years or whatever. At the time, Cleveland was so happy
to have hardware. Didn't win the World Championship, came close,
obviously lost in Game six, those Mighty Braves and our
boy Dave Justice who ended up coming to play for us.
And but what was really cool about that ring that
still stands out, and you'll appreciate this, Scott, is that
record of one hundred and forty two, because all of

(39:18):
the rings have the record on the side, right. So
we had one hundred wins and forty two losses in
a strike shortened season. So in a major league season,
you would have won sixty two in a normal season,
and the record is only one fifteen. Cleveland was on
pace to potentially do some damage on that record for

(39:40):
best ever and they lost it because the strike shortened
season started late that year in ninety five.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah, I remember that all too well. Our Jacks o'
door rumor has our man mouth franks a two liter
Mountain two before we show you. Well, Josh, you got
to know I don't drink it, but after six o'clock, Well,
that stuff does sit with me for a while. When
I I nailed down one or two during the day,
they usually start around ten eleven o'clock and they probably
ended about four or five o'clock. And for whatever it's worth, okay,

(40:07):
I do have insomnia, not that anybody would be surprised
or sleep ATNA. So if I have it a whole
lot more than that, you might forget sleep that night.
Sleep to me is like a luxury. Okay, It isn't
something that I get. I just have to be lucky
enough to have the right medication. So knock me out,
you know. But I call diame Mountain do a ped
And this is a very serious situation. Performance enhancing drink

(40:30):
like I was gonna say that with a straight face. Seriously. No,
hell yeah, Okay, well, hell yeah. We got a couple
more questions. Get to what Trent and Clark? And Trent
and Clark will be my co host on some shows
and he's gotta be on baseball, So I guess what
you gotta keep. You're gonna get used to, mister Clark.
And no, he's like, you know we have in common.
Note Trent, you know I have Tonnel named that for me,

(40:52):
but I haven't gotten a damn residual in any of them.
And you've got bars named after me and you never
got a damn resigial on Clark.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yeah about that.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
I'm doing that again and I have another show later.
How about that? Okay, more questions? All right, what is
the name of your podcast? And why did you call
it that? And if you use it and do you
use that name for your book? It's a three headed
monster on the questions that we'll get an answer out
of you.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, the podcast is Winners Find a Way, and I
named it that because I love this quote. I was
reading a book called The Four Disciplines of Execution. It's
written by Chris McChesney. And the CEO of Seven Habits

(41:37):
of Successful People. Who's the author there, Stephen Covey. So
Sean Covey, his son, co authored that book. And I
was reading through it and studying it, and I come
across this quote that says, winners, when shown data that
they are losing, find a way to win. And I
was like, man, that is the truth right there. And

(41:58):
I love Scott to surround myself with people that get that,
here's the data, you're losing, and it doesn't matter what
the data is. It's really easy for us in sports
right because we could see it. Now. Let's just use
our good friend Dan Campbell over in Detroit. Dan Campbell
comes to Detroit. He's got all these he's got all
these KPIs, he's got all these measurements that he's losing.

(42:20):
You're losing. You're not maintaining staff, you're not keeping the
best players, you're not winning games. Your score is not
higher than the other team at the end of the game.
We have all this data that says you're losing. But
Dan Campbell says, I'm gonna find a way to win.
We're gonna change how we do drafting, We're gonna change

(42:41):
how we do coaching, We're gonna change how we do practices.
We're gonna change at all because we are gonna find
a way to win. And Dan Campbell is the ultimate
winners find a Way. So I thought that Wiley would
name the book winners Find a Way. I love that name,
and we considered going with that for a long time,
but ultimately they decided on leading winning Teams, which I love.

(43:03):
I love like it's all about leadership. And you know
the thing about Scott about leaders is that you know,
when people go in and get a position to lead,
very rarely have they ever had a chance to go
to university or go and be trained in coaching or leadership.
If you're in sports, you do get that, but if

(43:25):
you're in other areas of business, commerce, music, most people
didn't go to get that. And so now that you're
going to lead, you got to have leadership skills and
you've got to have coaching skills. And so you know,
that's the one thing our firm probably stresses is now
you've got to chance to lead. How did you learn
and how are you going to learn? Now? We do
a lot of training on people for that.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Well, by you bring up another interesting question. Okay, here's
the thing. Okay, how would you describe your leadership style?

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, that's my leadership style is probably a combination of
a lot. I am still an authoritarian. I understand that
in leadership, I am an authority. Now I don't lead
from an authoritarians perspective that it's my way or the highway.
But when it is time to make a final decision,

(44:17):
I have to make that as the authority. And one
of the challenges of that is that I'm always operating
from a collaborative leadership style. So I want people's input.
I want collaboration. I don't want people to think like
I do. I've had a lot of people who have
come to my organizations and they give an interview total

(44:38):
yes man or yes woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Trent, that's
what I think. I think just like you do. And
I'm like, hey, you know, if you think just like
I do, one of us isn't native here. And since
I own the joint, it's probably you, right, So, like,
this interview is over because I need someone who's going
to bring their thought process, their experiences, their deal to it.
That's going to help us get better and get st wrong.

(45:00):
And so that collaboration is a real kind of key element.
But you know, one of the styles I tell a
lot of leaders is that when we come together as
a team, we hash it out to as a team,
and we trust one another in that and we have
to build that trust. And but we have to give
that trust too, So we hire people that we feel
we can trust, we give it, and then until somebody

(45:23):
loses it, it's theirs. And so that's a really key
element because when when you're in a position of authority,
you have to lead, and there's going to come a
time where you lead from the example of hey, we're
going to go with this idea, and I don't need
your agreement, I just need your alignment. And you know,

(45:43):
Dan Campbell is he he works hard to collaborate with
his team, but at the end he's an authoritarian. Like
he's going to call a play his organization and team
and staff have built their plan and then all of
a sudden, what if only seven people in the huddle
agree with the player and say, well, four of them go,
well I don't agree with it, so I'm not going

(46:03):
to do it right Wait a minute, like no, no, no,
We all got to do our role and responsibility on
this play for it to work. Well, four of them
have decided they're not They don't agree with it, so
they're not going to do it. Hey, I don't need
your agreement. I just need your alignment. And if you
can't get aligned with what we're doing here right then
I'll find someone who can get aligned, because it's never
needed and leadership has to understand that role and also

(46:27):
that responsibility.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
All right, well, I'll tell you my leadership style and
I'll make sure everybody knows it on this show. If
you don't get it, and then just go ahead and
replay it till you do get it. Number one, I
like to leave my example and I will outwork anybody
on the planet. Anybody who wants to go against me
and outwork, go ahead. You can go ahead and contact me.
Number one. Number two okay, I will crack the whip
when I have to. I am not afraid to do it,

(46:50):
and I will do it. Number two. Three, Okay, I
don't mind petting somebody on the back. Some people need
a little software approach. And number four, it is my
way or the highway period to work under me. No
waffans or puts about it. If you want to run
the operation, go ahead and do it, but my way
on the highway. I'll give you the if I had
to pat you on the back and be very polite.
Some people respond that way. Some need a good kick

(47:13):
and the batside. But I'll never nobody will ever outwork me.
And I love to prove my doubters wrong. And I'll
say another thing, okay, I also like to prove the
people that believe in me right. Just like you were
in a situation earlier in the show where you talked
about saving I'll tell you what, there's probably a ton
of motivation that you wanted to make save it look
really good because you had his endorsement, just like I

(47:35):
have people that had the same way in me. So
that's why I asked you that question. Because the point
is is there's a cult combination of leadership styles. But
you have to know what the core of your leadership
style is so that you can go ahead, branch off
when you need to go out and do it. As
Larry Bird once told me, you have to think three
steps ahead of the other guy. Life is a chess game.

(47:57):
If you can't play life as a chess game, you're
in trouble. Will never win in life. SCP is so
down thinking perceived. Even Kenny Albert of NBC and TNT
didn't even know that one. You all knew about the
great mind stick of life. Whatever. That's a that's a
given situation. But you know, but that's just how it goes.
All right, back to the chat room. Okay, Now, Joshua
door Watson about your book. Is there an audio book?

(48:19):
You have one?

Speaker 2 (48:19):
There is an audio book? Yep. The book is The
book will release and ship on August twentieth, so you
can pick it up on that day. So we're thirteen
days out today and so excited about that. I have
not heard yet on how when when they will release
the audio, but it is complete and so I assume

(48:40):
they're just finishing up final edits and hopefully i'll hear
when they're going to release that. Historically from this publisher
of Wiley Wiley Business Books publishes, it's typically four to
eight weeks after the date the first eighty ship is
when they launched the audio.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
There you go, okay, George I corn Dan Campbell run
has earned so much respect from the Landflap. Sure they'll
run through a wall with him and Joshua door is right.
I do run a tight ship, and those that know
about it know about it, and those that don't know
about it will know about it. But I don't try
to be out there just a mean type of guy.
But the one thing you have to do when you're
playing and you put together a show is you have
to be organized and stay on track as much as

(49:22):
you can, because it's so easy to get off and
then you get confused. Now another thing, Trent, I assume
you've taken disk assessment before. I see you placed in
the D region. Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (49:32):
So I'm an I'm an ID Okay, very.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Good, Okay, we'll keep to the chat room. Trent. Do
you think disk assessments are worth using to building a
winning team?

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Oh? Yes, I do. I think that the more you know,
I think we need to know about our team members,
and I think our team members need to know about themselves. Right.
I'm a believer in the Jahari window, and the Jahari
window talks about how there's a there's a quadrant scale,
and there's there's an X X line of others, and
there's a Y line of me, and then the quadrant

(50:06):
up on the top right is what others know about
me and what I know about me that's common knowledge, right,
But there's a bunch of stuff here in my quadrant
that's hidden. It's hidden about me that I probably don't
tell everybody, right, And there's a hit, And then there's
this top quadrant that others know about me that I
don't know about me, right, And so like one, I
have to be open enough with my team that I

(50:28):
can learn things about me that maybe I didn't know already.
And so my mentors have taught me things about me
how I might be showing up, both good and bad,
that I didn't know, and I was thankful for to
have it now a little stingy, by the way, when
you find out you're not showing up the way you
really want to show up, right, because you know, there's
always that old adage, right where we judge others by

(50:51):
by their actions, we judge ourselves by our intentions, and so, oh, well,
my intention is to show up really like hard working,
and well you're not showing up like you're a hard
worker when you're leep on the couch, you know, like
oh okay, Like so they don't know that maybe I
work twenty hours in overnight, like yep, so I understand
perception matters. So I think I like taking assessments not

(51:13):
only for the team to know how people are, but
understand that how you are. So I learn more about
self awareness, and then I know how to lean into
people's styles. And so I love culture index, I love
disc I think they're all very valuable and worthy to use.
And of course there's all sorts of different assessments, and

(51:34):
I think they're all have value for sure. I don't
take them as the only metrics, though, I would never
take a measurement, you know, similar to what I think
everyone's kind of loss sometimes in sport, that the data
is the only metric. You don't know a person's heart,
you don't know their level of competitiveness, you can't measure preparation.
You know, there's a lot of things that you know.
It's a it's a real challenge to know what's going

(51:57):
on inside of people, and I don't think we can
ever over look at So the more we do learn
about each other, I think the stronger we get.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
All right, So, Joshua, door is pretty easy one for it.
It'll be an audible. Did you narrate it? Just give
me a basic I did not I am not the narrator.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
A professional company was contracted for that, and so super
excited that someone else is going to do it. And
I haven't heard the voice yet, so hopefully it's awesome.
I hope, you know. I I think they got Denzel
Washington probably, but you know, I don't know Morgan Freeman,
you know, like, but I don't know who it is.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
I'm going to find out what Trent did, and I'll
have to see if I can modify that as well.
One more question for Joshua, do I have one more?
By the way, everybody the Sports Exchange will follow the
real and the rear. Being as though I am a literate,
I am going to wait on the audio book, but
we'll definitely check it out. No, you're not a literate, Joshua.
A lot of people are going to the audio book
because when you drive a lot, it's the easiest way
to go out there and comprehend. So a literate no

(52:53):
attention span a little bit different. I probably go along
with that. All right, So so let me ask you, Trent,
what is the one trait you know these one percent
folks that separates them from the rest.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Yeah, that's a great question, and a lot of people
ask me that, Like, you know, you've been around all
these people that are one percentage, They've done, you know,
unique things in their lives and created more value and
contributed in other ways. And I tell you, the one thing, Scott,
that all the all one percent all have in common
is self disciplined. They they don't need somebody to tell

(53:28):
them what they need to do. They don't need someone
to hold them by the hand, they don't need somebody
to wake them up. You know, for all the people
who are going out there and admire the Derek Cheters
of the world, like no one ever had to tell
Derek Jeter to go out and practice. No one ever
had to tell Lebron James, you need to get down
to the to the gym, you need to get down
to the park and work on your jump shot. They

(53:50):
were already there, man, They were there mentally in their mind.
They are disciplined to make the right choices in foods
and they're doing it every day. And when you spend
time around him, you see the self discipline in action,
and it's uncanny, and it's a separator immediately from others.
And there is a and we know it right Like
in pro sports. You see the major leaguers, you see

(54:12):
the top NHL players. You watch a player down in
Cincinnati or Grand Rapids, a minor league hockey player, and
you're like, oh my gosh, isn't this kid just as
good as McDavid. The separation doesn't look like that much
to the naked eye, but when you see them next
to each other, that separator, oftentimes, the one big separator

(54:33):
is that self discipline.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
All right, we'll take some of the kind words, d
los On. It looks behind me, great questions, Thank you
very much. Just you know my future co host Motor
City man Mouth Show, No Filters and the House. Okay,
so you would like to see you on a hockey
show as a guest one day?

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Yes, yes, I am so up for that. I love it,
and I got my kids played in college and I'm
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
So started separable, it's ridiculous. I'm telling nothing again, and
I got another show. Am I longer than take my tail?
Give me time? Maybe I will be who care whatever?
You'll get on there too, don't worry. We just have
to make sure your schedule is in sync with what
we're doing. And I'm not talking about the group in
sake other the way he's getting in another situation. But now, Joshua,

Cup finals. All I know you might watch all you did? Okay,
