Dale Petroskey has lived one of the most fascinating careers imaginable—from the Reagan White House to the Baseball Hall of Fame, National Geographic, the Texas Rangers, and the Dallas Regional Chamber. In this episode, Dale shares the leadership lessons, relationships, and defining moments that shaped his journey. He reflects on growing up in a close-knit family of nine children, working alongside President Reagan during pivotal Cold War moments, building trust through authentic relationships, and why “work hard and be nice” became the guiding principle of his career. The conversation also dives into media, politics, baseball, and the importance of living an interesting and meaningful life.
