Clint Overton, MBA shared thisA Very Late Friday Version of Thankful Thursday. This Week's Gratitude Fab 5 has a theme: TRUST Here is this week's list👇 💥Trust in NEW relatioships 💥Trust with partners 💥Trust in peer groups 💥Trust in friendships 💥Trust at home. Great relationships are built on TRUST. Authenticity. Vulnerability. Clarity. TRUST. That doesn't mean that we are perfect. That doesn't mean that we don't make mistakes. What does it mean? Committment to the other person to keep showing up and giving them your very best. Sometimes your very best on a particular moment or day is flawed. When you mess up? Own it, and lean back in. Keep showing up and the trust will build. I am grateful for those I trust and those who put their trust in me. Thank you Joel Goldberg for a great couple of days & putting your trust in me.

Clint Overton, MBA posted thisBeing an Independent Sponsor is Hard. Often times, 2 people. One hustling to get investors. One hustling to get investments. Both are a grind. Both require a lot of energy. But there is still other stuff to do... to deliver on the promise. That is why we built a unique solution set to meet Independent Sponsors where they are. Here is where we help: 💥Deal team support 💥Due Diligence solutions 💥Platform Ops build and/or extension. We identify your capacity constraints. THEN We fill in the gaps. Want to learn more about Boardroom Bullpen? Just Ask OR Comment " Independent Sponsor Capacity" and we will set you up with a FREE diagnostic.

Clint Overton, MBA posted thisBad Deals start with Bad Preparation. Your shortcuts. Your value play. Will sink your deal(s). Cutting corners in your model. Cutting corners in your due diligence. Cutting corners in your investment thesis. Cutting corners in your value creation plan. I know you think you can figure it out.... Your seller targets will know. Your investor targets will know. Your lenders will know. Want to be taken seriously? Want to be at the top of the sellers' list? Want to be a YES to investor targets? Want your lenders to prioritize YOU? Put in the work. Don't take shortcuts. Your outcomes will be worth the cost you expended up front. #independentsponsor #privateequity #PE Boardroom Bullpen

Clint Overton, MBA shared thisLeaning in and Authenticity. Early Life Lessons That Matter. 34 years ago, a chance meeting on a hillside in Cape Girardeau MO changed my life. How a reluctant hello, Golden Girls & Bologna sandwiches fueled a lifetime friendship. 34 summers ago, I was at a student orientation for my freshman year at college. I was with my parents and there was a guy sitting close to us on a hillside alone. I reluctantly said hello. We immediately started a conversation. He moved closer and talked more. We invited him to dinner. Freshman year dorm he moved into the room next to me, we quickly swapped roommates and started a saga of afternoons of golden girl reruns on a tiny tv, bologna sandwiches and Tecmo Bowl battles. The following year we moved into a house with another buddy and joined a fraternity. Those first 2 years were full of memories. We laughed. We cried. We had really deep and raw conversations. We did stuff we shouldn’t. We did stuff we continue to do. We learned a lot about each other. We learned a lot about life. Not everything was a delight. We celebrated like brothers. We fought like brothers too. He was the best man in my wedding. He is the godfather of my oldest daughter. While we have been miles apart and living separate lives in separate cities for a couple of decades, the bond has not wavered. Still raw conversations. Still laughs. Still knowing someone in a way that few will ever imagine. Last night I saw Chuck for the first time in years. We returned to Deep Ellum in Dallas, a neighborhood I had introduced him to over 30 years ago when my parents lived in DFW. More raw conversations. More memories. More gratitude. The lesson? Life is hard. Everyone needs a friend. That person at your networking event might become your best referral source or even better your closest friend. Say hello. Be authentic. Be real. Good things can come from these simple gestures. And Chuck, my guy, my main man, my BFF, just like the theme song of Golden Girls says “ Thank you for being a friend” PS. Yes Chuck is wearing a Golden Girls T shirt I bought him. Chuck Schwab

Clint Overton, MBA liked thisClint Overton, MBA liked thisEverybody's carrying something they haven't said out loud. I turned mine into a book. Then songs. Some I've released. All of them I've lived. Out here, it gets quiet enough to hear what you've been avoiding. That's usually where the songs start. Nobody ever wrote a great song about a good quarter. Say yours out loud. Grammy not guaranteed, but it gets lighter. #ChipChats #MySkeletonsAreBetterThanYours #Authenticity

Clint Overton, MBA liked thisClint Overton, MBA liked thisKeep playing small ball. Yesterday, I walked into the inaugural STL Acumen Advance Workshop with Boardroom Bullpen expecting a good talk from Joel Goldberg. I walked out with a new way to think about trust. Having covered two World Series championship teams, most importantly the '06 St. Louis Cardinals, and most recently with his tenure at the KC Royals, he asked the group - how do you build trust? Everything we do in life is about people, whether it's in baseball or in business. Trust isn't built by home runs. It's built by each genuine touchpoint we have with one another. Trust isn’t transactional, it's transformative. Fitting, then, that I ran into him again this morning at ACG St. Louis's Annual Economic Summit. Another touchpoint. The economy doesn’t just change with big headlines, but with small decisions over time. Another day, another bolo (tie).

Clint Overton, MBA reacted on thisSuch a fun and meaningful conversation. Thank you Casey Jacox for being such a thoughtful and intentional host. Felt like a conversation among longtime friends. So excited to turn the tables and share my interview with Casey on Rounding the Bases in mid-November. And thank you Steve Garraty for the connection.Clint Overton, MBA reacted on thisThank you, Steve Garraty, for making this episode possible! What if the real edge in a world obsessed with AI and shortcuts is still the simplest thing? How you treat people. I’m joined by Joel Goldberg, an Emmy Award-winning broadcaster for the Kansas City Royals to talk all things fatherhood! He is a speaker, author, and host of the Round the Bases podcast, who joins me for a conversation about fatherhood, trust, and the habits that quietly shape our kids. We start with gratitude, then get into the Goldberg family huddle: how Joel met his wife, what it takes to make marriage work through decades of change, and what it’s like to raise kids while living a sports media schedule full of travel, late nights, and long seasons. Joel shares what he’s proud of, what he wishes he could redo, and the mindset shift that helps him give himself grace while still trying to improve. From there, we zoom out into leadership lessons that apply to every dad and every job. We talk about hard work that gets modeled more than taught, the difference between being “nice” and being respectful, and why authenticity beats “fake it till you make it.” Joel also shares how he broke into broadcasting by doing what others wouldn’t: picking up the phone, asking for the decision-maker, and showing up. It’s a powerful reminder that small moves can separate you fast. To learn more about Joel’s speaking, books, and newsletter, visit JoelGoldbergMedia.com.
