RECORDED: April 15th, 2022
On this Episode of Outside The Boards, I’m incredibly excited to welcome all of you to this Episode of Outside The Boards Podcast and introduce my next guests Mr. Agapito Morgan and Dale Johnson, Chairman and Committee Member of the United States Polo Association’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.
Aga Morgan currently serves as the Commercial Healthcare Leader with Key Bank. In this role, he is focused on growing Key’s national commercial banking healthcare business in collaboration with healthcare industry coverage teams within KeyBanc Capital Markets, Enterprise Healthcare Payments and Consumer Banking. Additionally, he serves as Co-Chair of the Commercial Bank’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council and as a member of the Bank’s Commercial Credit Risk Committee.
Aga is originally from Washington D.C. and now lives in Weston Connecticut. His path in polo begin 8 years ago when he was introduce to polo by a close friend. Not knowing what he was getting into he took a lesson at Yale University. The first time he hit the ball clean, he was hooked. He would go on to immerse himself into the sport. Today, Morgan is a member of the Yale Polo Club, but has played extensively around the country.
Dale Johnson is currently the Manager of Global Platforms for Visa ,and is the Founder of the Equine Chain. A company created to credential horses on the blockchain. Dale is from Oakland California, and recently returned to his hometown after living in San Francisco’s Bay Area. Dale’s involvement with horses and ultimately polo began generations earlier with his grandfather who was as a horseman on a cattle ranch north of Houston, his grandfather, Papa Charlie, who was slave from Georgia, founded the ranch with his wife Penny. Everyone up until Dale’s grandfather was born on the ranch. All the fundamentals of horsemanship never left and trickled down to Dale’s father and ultimately him. Dale’s introduction to polo came from a visit to Buneas Aires and the purchase of pair of polo boots. He came home and spent his first bonus on a polo clinic. But unlike hiting a ball or the thrill of riding, Dale was attracted to the game by how challenging it was.

About Outside The Boards™
In 2012, Outside The Boards™ founders witnessed their first polo match and were stunned by the sport's beauty and brutality. Few sports, if any, have these combined qualities.

Today, the sport has yet to experience its full potential. The industry is fragmented, riddled with politics and in-experience. Outside The Boards™ was designed to change all that and bri...
