If you work in the sports business, you’ve probably heard of Nick Keller.

He's the driving force behind Benchmark, the BT Sport Industry Awards, Beyond Sport and several other prominent sports biz ventures.

But you won't have heard him talk in such an honest and candid way as he does in the latest Unofficial Partner podcast.

It's an hour's conversation about life and career, from being one of the first player agents in rugby's professional era through to what the judging process of the Sport Industry Awards has taught him about how the sports business works and how it's changed over the last few decades.

And then, we talked about cancer.

Subscribe to the podcast and read Nick’s searingly honest account of his recent cancer diagnosis.
