It is an understatement to say that John Amaechi has had a career that has taken him places. Not only is he an Organisational Psychologist, an OBE, a New York Times Bestselling Author, a Fellow of the Institute of Science and Technology, a Professor of Leadership, a non-executive director of an FTSE 250 company and the founder of organisational psychology consultancy APS. He was also, more surprisingly, the first Briton to play professional basketball in the NBA league, a move which saw him leave his hometown of Stockport for the world of professional basketball aged just 18. And whilst playing, he was the first NBA player to come out as gay. Never afraid to stand up and speak out, his book made me question a lot of things I thought I knew about myself and the way I live and work. Amaechi has spent years studying the world's highest performers, in both the sporting and corporate world, and I'm so looking forward to everyone hearing his amazing techniques. I learnt so much in this chat and I'm sure you will too.

The subject of today's conversation is racism and sport's relationship to it. And our guests are Sanjay Bhandari and John Amaechi. Sanjay is chair of Kick It Out, the charity campaigning to end racial and ethnic discrimination in English football.   John Amaechi OBE is a psychologist and founder of the APS Intelligence consultancy. The context for the podcast is English cricket and specifically the accusations of institutional racism made against Yorkshire Cricket Club  by Azeem Rafiq, the former player, who detailed his experiences at a highly charged and very emotional meeting of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee on November 16th. The conversation took place before the publication yesterday of the ECB's action plan to tackle the issues raised by the controversy.

Amaechi Uzoigwe's resume / CV speaks for itself as Co-Manager of Run the Jewels, Co-Founder of Studio A, an investor, advocate, and more. But to host Emily White, he is pure inspiration as a human being. This is a candid conversation on Amaechi's career and rise to becoming one of the top managers and most respected minds in the industry. However his journey has been far from a straight and narrow path. Settle in to learn how getting out there to do the work, and always doing right by artists, can lead to organic professional relationships that last a career and a lifetime. Similarly, Amaechi is a true modern manager in the sense that his work in film, branding, and activating around causes important to Africa & Africans throughout the Diaspora takes his work and artists to the next level and beyond. As we begin to wrap up the series of this podcast based on Emily's book of the same name, she felt it was crucial to speak with Amaechi and share his story with you.

Run The Jewels has not only taken the music world by storm, but they are also making waves in beverage - and specifically beer. Their history of making or lending their brand to collaborations with Goose Island, Interboro Spirits & Ales and Pipeworks Brewing were initial opening experiences for how they can connect with more audiences and create new opportunities for people to experience RTJ. Since those initial events in 2017 RTJ has launched a number of other beer projects, including the “No Save Point” IPA, released in collaboration with thirteen breweries from multiple countries. The namesake song features in the game Cyberpunk 2077. Today I am joined by the co-manager of Run The Jewels, Amaechi Uzoigwe and Kate Brankin who lead these partnerships and business development endeavors. We discuss how the worlds of RTJ and craft beer overlap, how collaborations such as “Never Look Back”, allow for social justice issues to be highlighted, and what future collaborations or co-branding opportunities may look like. There's no doubt there will be more beer there.  Find Run The Jewels Drinks Find Heavy Hops: Website (Listen to all episodes and access detailed show notes!)
