What do Major League Baseball and The Lucky Duck Foundation have in common?

At first glance, not much. One represents America’s pastime; the other is on the front lines addressing homelessness.

But the connection is leadership—and a willingness to act. Through the vision of Peter Seidler, former owner of the San Diego Padres, and business and community leaders, including the co-founders of The Lucky Duck Foundation, the “Tuesday Group” came together to drive solutions when it mattered most.

🎙️ In our SideBarMedia episode with #DrewMoser, we explore how cross-sector leadership is making a difference—and what others can learn from it.
