- Business
When I was a kid, I had big dreams. I wanted to play for my country, live in the best part of the country, and drive a nice sports car. But I didn't have the talent or rich parents. With nothing but a big dream and a heart full of courage, I managed to make a life for myself. I played for my country, build a successful sports agency, and sold it which allowed me to buy my dream car. But all of that came with a lot of highs and lows, which shaped my reality today. Through this podcast, I want to give you a glimpse into the unpredictable and intense world of sports business. I am Sasikumar.
