Playing the Long Game:How Baseball Shaped Uri Geva's Approach to Entrepreneurship - Episode 48
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Baseball teaches you very quickly that you cannot argue your way out of a bad call. The pitch is thrown, the call is made, and whether you agree with it or not, the game moves on. There is no replay in the moment, no time to dwell on what just happened. You step back into the box and prepare for the next pitch.
That mindset translates directly to business. Deals fall apart, ideas miss the mark, and plans do not always work the way you expect. The only real choice is how you respond and whether you are ready for the next opportunity.
Today’s guest is Uri Geva, co-founder of Cookie Dough Bliss, an edible cookie dough brand built around a franchise model.
Before becoming a business owner, Uri spent time in professional baseball, an experience that continues to shape how he approaches leadership, resilience, and growth as an entrepreneur.
This episode is broken into two parts. In the first segment, we will talk about Uri’s journey from baseball to business ownership, how entrepreneurship entered his life, and the early challenges of building Cookie Dough Bliss.
In the second segment, we will dig into the lessons he has learned along the way, including handling setbacks, building a franchise system, supporting entrepreneurs through failure, and why focusing on the next opportunity matters more than dwelling on the last mistake.
If you have ever faced a setback in business and wondered how to reset, refocus, and move forward, this conversation will resonate.
