In this episode of Beyond the Business Card, host Justin McGuire, entrepreneur, founder of MCG Talent, and creator of 7-Figure Recruitment, sits down with Nic Cartwright, the founder of CAB Sports and the visionary behind Arabian Warrior, the Middle East’s first homegrown obstacle course racing brand.

Nic walks us through his unconventional journey – from sports school and accountancy, to running top-tier rugby clubs, launching sports programs in Oman, and eventually building a sports startup from scratch in Dubai. With honesty and clarity, Nic shares the behind-the-scenes of startup life, navigating government relationships, balancing risk, and building a business rooted in passion.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

· How Nic went from accountant to CEO of the London Broncos.

· The role his entrepreneurial mum played in shaping his mindset.

· Why he left a stable career to follow his passion for sport.

· Behind the scenes of building sports organisations across the UK and Middle East.

· The vision behind Arabian Warrior and growing OCR in the region.

It’s an honest look at what it takes to build something meaningful, the risks involved, and why passion often beats the “safe” path.
