About this listen
There’s a difference between reporting sports... and sharing the stories of sports.
That’s what makes Newy Scruggs, the 15-time Emmy-winning Sports Director at NBC DFW, stand out. For over 30 years, he hasn’t just covered games, he uncovers the human lessons inside them. Lessons we can carry into work, leadership, and life. From sit-downs with former TCU head coach Gary Patterson and UT Athletic Director Chris Del Conte to everyday athletes, Newy gets to the heart of it.
If you’re in Dallas, Newy is a household name. If you’re not, trust me, you’re missing out.
In our Business of Joy conversation, Newy shared:
💡 Why vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s the bridge to real connection
⛰️ The Mount Everest principle of success and how complacency kills momentum
🌱 How cutting lawns at 11 on military bases taught him work ethic, grit, and perspective
🎤 A 5th-grade mock newscast that revealed his calling in broadcasting
🙏 How faith, perspective, and a daily choice for joy keep him grounded
The game ends. The highlights fade. The headlines change. But the lessons and stories Newy shares will stick with you.
