best sport industry podcast on the market!!
This podcast is honestly amazing for any person who loves sports and eventually wants to end up working in the field (especially students). Each episode is filled with examples of real people making it in the industry and the advice they have to share for you to do the same. It is a must listen!! I look forward to the new episodes because they help remind me of where I want to be one day. 10/10 recommend!
Exceptional Listen!
As a sophomore in college, I am trying to find my footing in the sport business as well as assuring myself that this industry is right for me. These podcasts are a tremendous asset to my education as I learn first hand what various occupations the industry contains. Not only can I hear about experiences of professionals, but learn about their path to their current occupation. This podcast has helped figure out a career path, and I would recommend this to any college student looking to inquire more about the industry!
