Leadership Lowdown | John Smoltz - "Get Outside Your Comfort Zone to Grow"

from Michigan Business Network · host Michigan Business Network

Vic Verchereau welcomes John Smoltz, who is an American Baseball Pitcher, Broadcaster, and Speaker. The National Baseball Hall of Fame features the story of John Smoltz.... "Dealt to the Braves when he was only a minor league prospect, John Smoltz soon established himself as a workhorse right-handed hurler for a young team on the verge of turning the corner. In the midst of this prolonged success, a troublesome elbow forced Smoltz the starter to become Smoltz the closer for three-and-a-half years. But Smoltz would emerge from this uncharted path to become the only player in big league history with at least 200 career wins and 150 saves". John said, "I literally gave everything I had every single time I went out there." To many in the Lansing area, we marveled at his career and his amazing work ethic. Today, Lansing, Michigan's famous son is a national broadcaster and highly sought speaker for leading companies across America. Vic Verchereau, catches up with John Smoltz to get his insight on what is needed today in business and the search for excellence.
