This is Episode 74 of the Dr. Finance® Live Podcast hosted by Dr. Anthony M. Criniti IV (aka “Dr. Finance®”). Dr. Criniti interviewed Bob Beaudine, the President and CEO of Eastman & Beaudine, a nationally recognized search executive, an author, and an entrepreneur.

Under Bob Beaudine’s leadership over the past four decades, Eastman & Beaudine has become one of the nation’s leading executive search firms in professional and college sports and entertainment. After a decade of leading searches for mostly Fortune 500 companies, Bob helped pioneer executive search in professional sports when he was selected to lead the search for the Commissioner of Major League Baseball. The Wall Street Journal named Eastman & Beaudine the “top recruiting firm in college sports,” and Sports Illustrated named Bob the “top front-office matchmaker in sports” as well as the “most influential man in sports you’ve never heard of.” These accolades come as a result of Bob helping to shape the senior leadership teams of NBA, MLB, NFL, and NHL franchises and league offices, in addition to university athletic departments across the nation. Bob’s experience also extends to the PGA Tour, USTA, PBR, U.S. Olympics, NASCAR, UFC, and sports-related non-profits among many others.

Bob is also the national bestselling author of The Power of WHO! and 2 Chairs. Bob has spoken to tens of thousands of college students at over 40 universities across the country. His national media appearances include The Today Show, Fox Business Network, Fox & Friends, The Dave Ramsey Show, CBN News, and CNBC’s Power Lunch.
