How I Turned the Milwaukee Brewers Into an Elite Team | Wendy Selig-Prieb | E19

So Wendy, you've had careers in law, baseball, fashion, and now advising and building businesses.

So what connects all of those chapters? Well, first of all, I think it

sounds like a crazy title, right? When I hear like baseball to fashion.

So I know we're going to get into it, but it's actually not as crazy as maybe it sounds.

So there are some common threads.

that connect my story.

And it's everything from following my passion to taking risks and also realizing that as you get older, your opportunities and your priorities change.

And that is not the mindset I had as either a student, young adult, early in my career, I was that person who, you know, I was on a path, if you

will.

Yeah.

But, you know, life ends up with pivots and interesting changes and opportunities.

But you have to be willing sometimes to also take a risk.

You grew up as, you're growing up as Bud Selig's daughter, who, you know, was the longest serving MLB commissioner in baseball history.

You had a front row seat to baseball as a business.

So what did you see as a kid that shaped how you lead today? So let me say that when

you have a famous or successful father or parent, people think that you're lucky.

I'm going to tell you there is not necessarily a direct correlation.

In my case, I was lucky, but not because my dad was successful or necessarily in baseball.

But I was successful because he gave me a front row seat to his life.

And I think an inherent advantage that I had was that I loved baseball.

And going to the office with my dad meant going to the ballpark.

And I loved that.

And so I learned about the game of baseball.

I learned about the business of baseball.

I learned curse words that most people don't learn from their own father.
