On today’s episode, I have something a bit different for you as I shift from interviewer to interviewee after being invited to join David Chimbaza on his podcast, the 'Business of Football' back in October. 

David is a recent graduate from UCFB who is aiming to forge a career in the world of football and I really admire his drive - which is highlighted by the fact that he has launched this podcast in the first place. 

As well as hopefully providing you a little bit of insight on myself, the motivations behind starting Sports Pundit four years ago, as well as more recently my work with The Players Fund, I really hope that you also take a moment to check out what David is doing. Based on his actions to-date, he’s someone I’d expect to go far within the game over the course of his career - and I was very flattered to be invited on to have this conversation with him. 

Episode Description

In the episode, we talk about community building within the football industry. I shares insights from my experiences having founded Sports Pundit, which aims to connect professionals in the sports sector.

We also explore the need for greater inclusivity of younger voices in the industry, drawing parallels with successful models from other sectors, such as Gucci's shadow board.

Additionally, I delves into the Players Fund, an athlete-backed venture fund that empowers sports professionals to invest wisely and prepare for life after their athletic careers.
