The Daniel Geey Podcast

Omar and I talk about whether EPL games in the USA make sense, whether US broadcasters are pushing for such an approach and football's uneasy relationship with the Olympics.

Omar is the Chief Intelligence Officer at 21st Group, working alongside clubs, leagues and stakeholders from across the sporting landscape, helping them use analytics to drive better decision making.

Daniel is a sports lawyer mainly working in the football space helping players, agents and clubs with their transfer, commercial contract and regulatory issues.

📚 + ⏳ + 🧠 + 🎯 = 📈

The idea for the 'Build the Invisible' documentary was to translate my book into a more visual narrative. With the expert help of Ashli Moses, the founder of Carcosa Film, we explored the concept of building 'invisible foundations' — a vital, yet often overlooked, metaphor for nurturing personal skills and development as the cornerstone for long-term career success.
