McCormick, on the other hand, has spent her time in front of the camera covering every aspect of the NFL, from the draft to the Super Bowl. Now, they work together at Sports Illustrated hosting their own sports business podcast- The Bag. We had a long conversation about how pro athletes should go about negotiating contracts, insights into the life of a sports broadcaster, and much more.

Joe Markowski has a lot on his mind (and his to-do list). He’s leading the charge behind DAZN’s rapid evolution in recent years, and while still focused on bringing premier boxing to the platform, expanding to different sports and growing the overall brand in the United States is just as much of a priority. We spoke at length about where boxing is headed, the power of women’s sports, DAZN’s place in the sports ecosystem, and how London’s underground music scene molded him.
