What does it mean to do the right thing, especially when the stakes are sky-high?

In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo sits down with legendary Fred Claire, former Executive VP and GM of the Los Angeles Dodgers, cancer survivor, and current advocate for City of Hope, to explore a life led by values, not ego.

Fred shares his extraordinary journey, from building World Series-winning teams with the Dodgers to standing firm in a moment of corporate overreach that ultimately cost him his job. He also opens up about his most personal fight: surviving aggressive head and neck cancer, undergoing multiple surgeries, and turning that battle into a mission to support other patients.

At 89 years old, Fred reflects on what matters most: legacy, leadership, and making an impact on the lives of others. Whether you’re facing adversity, navigating leadership, or simply looking for direction, you’ll walk away from this episode reminded that integrity is a decision you make every day.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

✅ Why Fred resigned from the Dodgers after a high-profile trade was made without his knowledge

✅ How City of Hope helped save his life and why he’s paying that forward

✅ Lessons on character, courage, and compassion from legends like Jackie Robinson and John Wooden
