Episode 455: Unprofessionalism Still Exists Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

One of the biggest elephants in the room in the professional basketball business abroad (at least to me) is never knowing what you're going to get in terms of professionalism. Today's episode shares one very sad situation that happened in a league abroad over the weekend. The purpose is to share what REALLY happens behind the scenes. And to start a conversation with stakeholders in the industry who could help change this.

Happy Monday! Wrapped up a busy week around Tokyo, including an exciting BLeague game. Just got off the bullet train to a new city. I’ll give you a hint — the city name translates to imperial capital, but it’s not the capital 🤯

Episode 450: Special Edition Episode -- D1 Walk-On Story, Agency Business, Traveling the World + More Mar 11, 2023

Show notes

Happy Saturday! In between guest episodes on SBS, today I decided to repost my guest appearance on The PREP Athletics Podcast!

Cory Heitz (a former guest on Sports Business Secrets, of course), invited me to join him for a conversation about my basketball career -- from high school throughout college, and into the transition of hanging up the shoes... don't worry it didn't take long. 😅

We talked about what it was like being a D1 walk on, reasons for getting into the agency business, traveling the world, how to build genuine relationships, some common misconceptions about playing professional basketball abroad and more!

You can check out the full episode and more of Cory's guests below:

Episode 448: Jimmy Contrini, Content Manager for Alex & Leila Hormozi Mar 04, 2023

Show notes

Today’s guest is Jimmy Contrini, Content Manager for Alex and Leila Hormozi! Jimmy and I first met via KTA, when he did a handful of internship projects with me in 2018!

It really is crazy how time flies. I wish I could take some credit for the success Jimmy has had in his career, but it all comes from his persistence and his relentless will to succeed! I'm very happy to see him thriving, while simultaneously continuing to seek new knowledge.

Today we talked about:

why I immediately followed up when I received his email
how he got his foot in the door at Vayner Productions
his various roles and lessons learned from the VaynerX world
the importance of testing different career paths
his love for sports collectibles, which led to a job
his new role working with Alex & Leila Hormozi
things he wish he knew when he was in college
and much more

Appreciate you tuning in. Hope you enjoy!
