In this episode, I had an awesome conversation with Isabel Guerra Quesada - Head Of Marketing at NSCA Spain.

Isa is a true inspiration. She is ex-Spanish Voleyball National Team player and after achieving all her sporting goals she decided to pursue career on the business side of sports and she is doing great! 

During our time at the MBA in Sports Management at Real Madrid, i got to work with Isa for the final project which we named Ellas Brilant which means Shine Bright like a Diamond meant to motivate more women to pursue a healthy lifestyle.

Welcome to episode 27 where I talk to Franco Segarra - Digital Innovation Director at Valencia CF.

I enjoyed a lot this conversation and thought it will be valuable to you guys, because of Franco's background. He is coming from the technical world as a computer science specialist, but he found himself in the position where he also enjoyed the business side and the combination was epic. He landed a managerial position at Valencia CF 2,5 years ago as head of ticketing, data and fan experience and a couple of months ago he got promoted to Digital Innovation Director position and reporting directly to the President of the club.

I hope you get a lot of value out of it. And if you want to connect with Franco, check out his LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/francosegarra/

Welcome to episode 26 where I talk to David Bryant - the Founder and CEO of LegendBorne

It is the first episode that i am recording in 2 days, due to a little failure on day 1 (we didn't want you to hear Ava's noise in the background all episode).

David's story is so inspiring to me that i decided to document it and share with you guys.

All the way from childhood doing a lot of sports, to 9/11, when David enrolled in the US Army and which became his lifestyle, to nowadays when he is already in a mature sports apparel company - LegendBorne.

Dave shared the challenges and struggles he has been through to launch and grow his company and also he shared what it takes, from his angle, to grow a successful brand.

Its a bit long but SOOOOO GOOD! If you want to connect with David, shoot him an email: [email protected]

At 22, she already has experience working in both college sports as well as pro sports.

Sadly, her new role with Colts that she was supposed to start recently, got eliminated and Syd used the pandemic to her advantage and founded the Support Women in Sports community! Love the mission and the problem it solves.

In this episode, I had an awesome conversation with Brock Hendricks - Premium Sales Manager at AEG - Staples Center the home of Lakers, Clippers and the Kings.

Brock is a great person and has an awesome story, especially leaving from a job in corporate that was paying him 6 figures a year, to pursue his dream of working in sports. 

Step-by-step he got to his dream organizations, at first he got to LA Dodgers then to Staples Center, where he has an opportunity to work with some of the best franchises in the history of the sports - Lakers and Clippers.

Brock also started not long ago a story-telling sports podcast called "Hot Coffee Cold Beer" which i absolutely love listening to. Make sure to check it out on all podcast platforms. You will love it.

The key takeaway from me from this episode: Don't just be average or good... BE GREAT at what you are doing - Mamba Mentality (RIP Kobe)! And all of this comes to being happy with what you do, if not, continue to pursue happiness.
