Summary
What can CPAs and business leaders learn from one of the most entertaining organizations in the world? In this episode, we sit down with Tim Naddy, CFO of the Savannah Bananas, to explore how purpose, culture, and leadership drive performance in high-pressure environments. Behind the dancing players and sold-out stadiums is a clear philosophy. The Bananas do not just play baseball. They create joy. Tim shares how a strong sense of purpose helps teams manage intense schedules, constant travel, and burnout, and why culture must be treated as infrastructure, not a perk. He explains how empathy, flexibility, and engaged leadership keep people energized and performing at their best. You can hear more from Tim live as the keynote speaker at MACPA’s 2026 Converge event on April 30 at the BWI Hilton.
