Episode 87

Savannah Bananas Emily Cole

Published on: 29th April, 2025

On this episode of Work Advice for Me, Brad sits down with Emily Cole, co-owner of the wildly popular Savannah Bananas, to talk childhood passions, career pivots, and bold innovation in baseball. Emily shares how a love for field hockey and a supportive upbringing shaped her, and how a job she hated led her to a ballpark she loved. Together, they explore the creation of Banana Ball—a reimagined, fan-first version of baseball designed to make the game thrilling again. Emily opens up about the skyrocketing demand for their brand of sports entertainment, the heart behind their nonprofit "Bananas Foster" supporting foster children, and the dream of taking Banana Ball to the world stage. It’s a conversation full of energy, creativity, and purpose.
