UP308 How To Get Ahead In The Sports Business


Listen Later

What's your next job? Where will it come from? What are the factors that make you more or less likely to get it?
What's your office culture like? Can you maintain culture when most people are working from home? Do you trust colleagues to work hard from home?
What about networking, is it the secret to career success, or just a euphemism for drinking?
Is the sports business a booze culture? What does sport look like to people who don't drink?
How old is too old to work in sport?
Is 45 the new 60?
All these questions and many more are put to our guests, Ishveen Jolly and Mark Thompson.
Ishveen is Founder and CEO of OpenSponsorship, an Inc magazine Top 100 Female Founder and a Forbes 30 Under 30 alumni.
Mark is Chief Operating Officer of newly promoted Burnley Football Club, and formerly a strategic consultant for Two Circles. The recording took place at the new London offices of Spectacle Partners and we thank them for their support.
