    Ben Mee: From Man City's Academy to Premier League Captain | Bitcoin & The Long Game Podcast

    Former Premier League and England under-21 defender Ben Mee joins Peter Lane and George Boyd for a wide-ranging conversation about elite sport, business, and long-term wealth. Early on, they dig into the Man City academy, what it meant to win the FA Youth Cup, and how training alongside world-class players like Aguero, De Bruyne, and Hazard shaped Ben's development long before he played a first-team minute.The discussion turns to his move to Burnley under Eddie Howe, 11 years of Premier League football under Sean Dyche, and the sharp contrast of then joining Brentford's data-driven, analytics-first environment — a culture shock that tested even a seasoned professional. They work through what that transition revealed about adaptability, how elite managers approach the game differently, and what the art of defending looks like in an era obsessed with attacking flair.The latter half touches on Ben's plans beyond football, including Season One — his education and recruitment platform helping young people find careers inside the game — and why having a financial plan from the start of your career matters more than most players realise.The Bitcoin side of things comes in through Ben's own journey: buying in 2018, selling on his financial advisor's advice, buying back in, and gradually going deep down the rabbit hole. Peter and George explore why traditional financial advice has a structural blind spot around Bitcoin, and what it means when a lifelong learner like Ben describes spending over a thousand hours researching it.Follow on X:Ben Mee - https://x.com/Ben6MeePeter Lane - https://x.com/peterlane1985George Boyd - https://x.com/gboyd9CoinCorner - https://x.com/coincornerXCE - https://x.com/xceofficialVEIN - https://x.com/VEIN_intelSponsorsCoinCornerXCEVEINEdited by James Pearcehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/james-pearcesf/#Bitcoin #BTC #BenMee #Football #BitcoinAndTheLongGame #Podcast

    Mark Cueto: Life After Rugby for an England International | Bitcoin & The Long Game Podcast

    England international rugby winger Mark Cueto joins Peter Lane and George Boyd for a wide-ranging conversation about what elite sport teaches you about performance, resilience, and money. They start with grassroots sport and why the culture around rugby can build better habits in young players, from processing wins and losses to learning how to handle conflict properly. Mark reflects on his unusual path into professional rugby, how quickly things changed once he arrived at Sale, and what it felt like going from a modest first contract to believing he could genuinely make a career at the top level. The conversation moves through England call-ups, the realities of international rugby, and how elite sport trains you to move on fast, even after the biggest moments. They also discuss life after retirement, running businesses, and why financial decisions matter even more when your peak earning window is short. Peter and George introduce Mark to Bitcoin through the lens of long-term savings, broken money, and the importance of understanding the system before choosing a solution.
