Ishveen walks through lessons she's learned as a leader, OpenSponsorship's "secret sauce" in creating the data-driven and intentional platform, what she's found is the major difference between a successful and unsuccessful company, and the categories that are experiencing the greatest opportunities within this digital sponsorship model.The Story of Ishveen and OpenSponsorship:My love for playing sports started as a child from playing catch with my father in our backyard, which led me to captain the Keble College, Netball, and Cricket teams at Oxford University. It also gave me the courage to leave my career in management consultancy in London and move to New Delhi, India to become a sports agent. Working with premier leagues, teams, clubs, and athletes – brokering sponsorship deals gave me an insider perspective on how fragmented and unanalytical the sports sponsorship industry is. Realizing the industry lacked transparency, information, access, tracking, and tech innovation meant there was a huge untapped potential in the annual $60 Billion sports sponsorship market. Why wasn't there an Airbnb for sponsorship? Well, now there is, OpenSponsorship.com. Today OpenSponsorship is the largest and smartest marketplace connecting brands and smart marketers to over 5,700 professional athletes. We are democratizing sponsorship by making it accessible, efficient, and data-driven. Using analytical insights, AI-based matching, and proprietary ROI information tracking we are leveraging technology and data to create meaningful partnerships and revolutionizing the way you search, secure, and track sports sponsorship.The network effort - with 3,500 deals completed through the platform, covering over 160 sports, in 120 countries – the marketplace only gets smarter. We plan on applying the analytics and learning beyond athletes to teams, leagues, events, and other entertainment verticals.

Miller connects with leaders across categories to discuss their proudest achievements, greatest challenges, and where they focus their energy each day.

In his words, “What happened in the last two and a half years only accelerated something that is already underway… The power of individuals coming in to play… The dynamics coming into play about the hybrid model, working flexible… I think companies that do not react or respond enough on the last several years to the individual… those organizations are now stepping back.” With this transition, how do recruitment businesses remain in the forefront instead of being left behind?

On June 8, 23andme announced it has been conducted research studies to determine if blood type is associated with lower risk of infections or symptoms. In a person’s DNA, a Thymine base on their ABO gene determines if that person has blood type O. Early results suggest Individuals with O blood type are between 9-18% percent less likely than individuals with other blood types to have tested positive for COVID-19. This research study is continuing to grow and people are beginning to reconsider the role of genetic data in our digital world. https://blog.23andme.com/23andme-research/23andme-finds-evidence-that-blood-type-plays-a-role-in-covid-19/ Remember, the Health Unchained podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and we are not providing any sort of legal, financial, or medical advice.

In today’s Greatest of All Time Interview Series, Wilson Cole, president of Adams, Evens, and Ross interviews Bert Miller, a legend in the staffing and recruiting industry. He has been a long time franchise office owner of MRI and he’s recently acquired MRI corporate. Bert Miller, Legend of The Staffing and Recruiting Industry How Did Bert Start His Journey in The Staffing and Recruiting Industry? Bert started off by showing his appreciation for having a great childhood. His parents were a great part of who he is today. They pulled him in to have greater opportunities for the future. This led him to MRI’s doorstep where he was trained. He was trained by a host of great mentors that Bert is truly grateful for. Today, Bert has acquired MRI corporate and has a number of great ideas for MRI as a whole. What Makes a Great Recruiter? According to Bert, you could line up five or so hopefuls who have the basics down and have the skills to succeed. However, only two of them will ever become a great success. It doesn’t matter how good they are or how many calls they can make in a day. What matters is that they have a certain amount of grit and endurance that will let them overcome the challenges that face them. Grit and endurance is the right energy and passion according to Bert. He also mentioned the late Kobe Bryant’s Mamba mentality. This is where you must have the hunger to succeed. It’s focusing on the process and trusting the hard work when it truly matters. What Does a Recruiter Need to Be Doing Right Now To Take Advantage of An Excelling Economy? Bert recommends using an advisory. An advisory encompasses a number of things. It can be town analytics, helping your clients create branding for themselves and many others. This creates connectivity between you and your clients. Bert also mentions how the changing technology is causing friction within the industry. They’re “killing it” but it doesn’t feel the same as it was back in the early 2000s and it’s because of how digital technology is shifting the industry. This means that you need to adjust and become a better storyteller through video broadcasts or podcasts and truly connect with your audience. What is Your Vision For MRI Bert mentions that many people and groups confuse MRI as their competition. They aren’t competition when it comes to the staffing and recruiting industry, mainly because of how they don’t make any placements, and they don’t do any searches. Instead they aim to provide the best tools, services and training to their “supposed” competition. One example is their Thrive program which allows independent firms that don’t know where to go, thrive. Quotes: -What kind of stands out to me is endurance, it’s the right energy and passion -We used to tell a story by phone. Now you gotta be able to tell the story through video through podcasting and really connect with your audience -They may love me, they may like me. Whatever the case may be but I have to go deliver. -Let's embrace the fact of what occurred, let's embrace it. Let's understand the situation and let's build solutions

Born and raised on a farm in northern Indiana, Bert Miller raised himself up through the brands of E. & J. Gallo and Revlon, to then start Protis Global and recently acquired Management Recruiters International Inc. An athlete all his life, from baseball to football, and now mind-numbing, soul-building marathons, Bert takes the competition, the drive, the sweat and the brutal determination of a sportsman and plows it all into his work. From farm to founder, he knows better than anyone else that the underdog can take on the mighty. It's one of the reasons he owns three companies; the absolute, all-consuming belief that anyone can choose a path less traveled and fulfill their dreams. His ethos is why we all hustle every day, to build companies and put talented individuals in their dream roles. If you ask Bert anything, his answer will always be bourbon. “take the road less travelled, out work the others (you have got to outwork folks), be present with people, and you have got to show up. And when you show up and you have those other attributes, you give yourself a chance to win… If you just make all of the ordinary plays… Make the ordinary plays and not try to be extraordinary you will always give yourself a chance to win”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7dB
