If Jack White's guitar riff on "Seven Nation Army" needs a walk-up moment, Mitchell Glieber's career already has one. His path runs from carrying Dallas Cowboys players' helmets off the practice field as a kid to captaining the SMU Mustangs through the death penalty years to nine seasons with the Dallas Mavericks and now the presidency of the State Fair of Texas.
In this episode of CEOs You Should Know Dallas-Fort Worth, iHeartMedia DFW Market President Chris Long sits down with Mitchell Glieber, President of the State Fair of Texas, for a conversation about growing up inside Dallas sports history and building the largest state fair in the country into a year-round operation.
Mitchell shares what it was like growing up as the son of Frank Glieber, the original radio voice of the Dallas Cowboys, and what SMU football's "death penalty" taught him about grit and patience. He traces his path from selling tickets for a Mavericks team that missed the playoffs every year of the 1990s to selling a beloved tradition at the State Fair, why he leans on a senior leadership team of experts, and how safety, security and the fair's growing community programming now define his job.
