For this chapter of 3 Books, I sat down with Jerry Howarth in the Skydome, home to the Blue Jays.
My friend Drew Dudley once told me that, other than his parents, he hadn’t heard anyone speak to him more in his life than Jerry Howarth …
The voice of the Toronto Blue Jays.
I can relate. Growing up I would listen to Jerry Howarth call the Blue Jays games on the radio on long summer drives, with my friends at the park, or just on my clock radio with the “Sleep” timer on as I fell asleep.
Me and Jerry during batting practice! Shown in the background is the average attendance for Blue Jays games this season. (Hey-ohhhhh!)
I was thrilled to visit the Skydome in downtown Toronto to sit down with Jerry Howarth for Chapter 30 of 3 Books.
We get comfy watching batting practice together with some reggae and dance music in the background.
Why do I love Jerry?
Because for thirty-six years he was a local leader and community-builder who created trust with millions of baseball fans…
The view from our seats.
In addition to discussing his book Hello Friends, Jerry and I talk about:
How do we build a community? How do we develop authentic connections? How can we learn the art of being objective? And how do we learn to coach leaders from the ground up?
So come join me and Jerry in the front seats of the Skydome just before the game begins.
Welcome to Chapter 30 of 3 Books.
