Michael Spencer has represented Gus Kenworthy throughout his career - Five Rings To Rule Them All LGBTQ Sports Podcast

Michael Spencer is a legend in the world of action-sports agents. He has represented some of the most successful athletes, including Olympic champions and one Gus Kenworthy. He's been with Kenworthy since the early days of the star skier's career. He joins us this week to talk about how he "stumbled" into representing world-class skiers, and why he - a straight man - has been so passionate about elevating Kenworthy and supporting him through his coming-out process. Spencer now represents two other gay athletes, including Olympic speed skating hopeful and US Champion Conor McDermott-Mostowy. And he offers sage advice to any gay athlete whose agent tells them to stay in the closet.
