Monica Paul: Putting Dallas on the World Stage (and Leading Under Pressure) | The Susana Gibb Show

What does it take to lead the charge for one of the biggest sporting events in the world and stay cool under pressure? In this episode of The Susana Gibb Show, I sit down with Monica Paul, Executive Director of the Dallas Sports Commission, to talk about leadership, teamwork, and showing up when the spotlight is brightest. Monica has helped bring over $4 billion in events to Dallas. From the Final Four to WrestleMania to the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup (yep, the biggest event the Metroplex has ever hosted). She shares how she built her confidence in a male-dominated industry, what she’s learned about collaboration and servant leadership, and how Dallas is preparing to host the world. We also talk about what it really means to show up for your community. If you’re a BNI member, leader, or small business owner looking to grow your confidence, build strong relationships, and lead with purpose, this episode is for you. Subscribe and stay inspired.
