E-Pro Cast

Welcome back!

In this episode, I had an awesome conversation with Katie Sadleir - GM of Women's Rugby at World Rugby.

Katie is a great role model for a lot of girls and women out there who got into the industry since she was an athlete.

She has a great story and wanted to share that with you. Also how she got to work with Ministry of Sports in New Zeland and the as result she became the General Manager of Women's Rugby at World Rugby where she is taking care of strategies and their implementation to attract more and more girls of all ages to practice rugby worldwide.

We also talked about diversity in sports and women leadership. I think sports is the industry that leads the way when it comes to diversity, but as we know there is always room for more. So she shared her thoughts on that.

Katie shared some advice to women who want to work in sports and how to kick start their career.

Netflix suggestion: Athlete A.

If you want to get in touch with Katie, you can email her at [email protected], and also you can follow her on Twitter: @KSadleir. Let's blow her twitter up!!!

In a doua parte a acestui interviu, am atins tema de CSR - Responsabilitate sociala corporativa,  si  mai concret ce face Petrocub ca sa aiba un engagement mai eficient cu fanii si cum atrage noi fani! 

La fel, daca esti in Moldova si esti interesat sa activezi in domeniul de sport, atunci scriei lui Ivan. El e foarte deschis si disponibil sa vorbeasca despre potentiale oportunitati.

In this episode, I had an awesome chat with Scott Minto - Director of Sports MBA at San Diego State University (@SDSU).

Scott shared his super interesting story. He is the first year alumni of this program and at the age of 26 he took over the program and it has been good 18 years now. WOW!

We met during my MBA at Real Madrid and the first thing I started doing from the class he taught, was, to hop on the podcast wagon. And since then I started to binge-listen on sports business podcasts. Some of them that we both listen to are Sports Business Journal, Bloomberg Business of Sports and Front Office Features. Please go and check them out as well. 

The book of the episode: "We matter, Athletes and Activism" by Etan Thomas.

Key takeaway from this conversation: Doing things you think are unnecessary is an added value to you when you are trying to get into the industry. If you have a few hours, a weekend or even a free summer, go to your local club, sports organization and ask how you could help them. It will help you gain that experience which you can afterwards put on your resume and build up your network. Remember it is all about who you know in this industry!

In this episode, I had an awesome convo with Ronan Donagher - IT & Broadcasting Technology Manager at World Rugby.

He shared behind the scenes of a big event like RWC 2019 and the World Sevens Series. We talked trends in broadcasting to give you ultimate first-person view on where this industry is going.

Also tips and tricks to blokes who would like to get experience in the sports broadcasting industry.
