Thrice-a-week Zoom meetings birthed Winning Still: Essays from the Philippine Sports Landscape during the Pandemic, an anthology of essays written by accomplished Filipino sports stakeholders and personalities. 

In this B-Side episode, Ateneo de Davao University athletics director and Winning Still project coordinator Emmanuel Rene "Noli" S. Ayo tells BusinessWorld senior reporter Michael Angelo S. Murillo the lessons he learned from wrangling a group of alpha individuals — including Olympic gold medalist and weightlifter Hidilyn F. Diaz — into achieving a "compelling common goal." 

"We like gathering people but sometimes we operate in silos. We have to work together. It is easier if you have someone with you on this journey," Mr. Ayo said.

Recorded remotely on Sept. 17. Produced by Brontë H. Lacsamana, Paolo L. Lopez, and Sam L. Marcelo.
