Have you ever heard of Freestyle Football? This is a growing sport that engages with some of the world's biggest brands such as Red Bull & Juventus.


In this episode, we sit down with the Founder of the World Freestyle Football Association, Dan Wood, on how he built this global community.


It was an excellent conversation on which we also covered the foundations of Dan's purpose which is education & social impact and how this should be incorporated in every organisation.


How do we measure success? Through Ubuntu.
