Send us Fan MailHundreds of phones went up in the MEO Arena the moment Michael Jordan stepped on stage at SBC Summit, and what followed was far more useful than a typical sports business talk. We walk through the sharpest ideas from that conversation with Jordan, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins, and Sportradar CEO Carsten Koerl, then translate them into real-world lessons for marketing leadership, brand strategy, and building companies in uncertain markets.We start with a principle that gets more important the easier content becomes to produce: authenticity before visibility. AI can generate assets, platforms can amplify them, and paid media can push them everywhere, but none of that creates credibility if the connection is forced. From there we move to focus and control. When modern business drowns us in dashboards, attribution, predictions, and AI analysis, the edge is knowing what you can influence and putting your energy there. We also unpack a tension many executives and creators feel right now: personal branding can strengthen a company, but it can also quietly compete with the team objective if it drifts away from the strategy.Robins brings the strategic centerpiece: stop trying to predict one future and start building option value. That mindset maps directly onto AI adoption, where nobody truly knows which models, agent platforms, or workflows will win. Koerl pushes the AI conversation beyond efficiency into innovation, showing why “write faster” is less interesting than “build what was impossible before.” We close on the most human takeaway: data improves judgment, but it never deletes uncertainty, and great leaders still act without perfect information.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who leads a team, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.This episode was recorded at SBC Summit (Lisbon) on Sep 29, 2026.

Recorded live in front of an invited audience of senior sports-industry figures at Teneo's London offices overlooking St Paul's Cathedral, this Unofficial Partner event asked a deliberately awkward question about the summer of 2026: not what happened, but what actually changed. Three set-pieces framed the conversation — the men's FIFA World Cup in the United States, the European Athletics Championships, the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and the Commonwealth Games — and the panel picked apart what worked, what didn't, and what will still matter next year. Beth Barrett Wild steps away from the ECB after running the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 and leading on the women's game, having help build the competition side of The Hundred since 2018.Jon Dutton OBE is chief executive of the British Olympic Association, formerly CEO of Rugby League World Cup 2021 and CEO at British Cycling.Miguel Delaney is chief football writer at The Independent and author of States of Play, the award-winning investigation into how state money and sportswashing reshaped modern football.Unofficial Partner is grateful to our friends at Teneo for hosting the event at its offices overlooking St Paul's in London, and to Neil Daugherty and his team for their hospitality and expertise. This episode is sponsored by Leaders in SportNext week we're heading to Stamford Bridge with the global sports industry for Leaders Week London, and this is your final call to join us.Over two days you can hear directly from the leaders behind some of sport's biggest organisations, get in front of the people you've been chasing all year, and turn a few packed days in London into months' worth of business.It's a rare chance to have that much of the industry, and that much opportunity, under one roof.We're there every year, and we can vouch for the value of having the right people in the same place.

What happens when the sport that has defined your life suddenly ends? Anna Laurell Nash is a two-time world champion boxer, three-time European champion, two-time Olympian and PhD who today serves as Executive Director at the Center for Sports and Business at the Stockholm School of Economics. In this episode of Sports Management Podcast, Anna shares her remarkable journey from starting boxing at 17 to becoming one of the world's leading female boxers. We discuss her Olympic journey, losing to a young Claressa Shields at London 2012, battling Graves' disease during her career, and the identity crisis she experienced when she stepped away from elite sport. Anna also explains why athletes need to prepare for life beyond competition, how skills developed through elite sport translate into business, and why women's sport still represents a major untapped business opportunity. In this episode:

Let us know what's on your mindA record crowd in the Aviva. A massive lift in visibility. Real belief building around the Irish women's team. Then the awkward question: why doesn't a big moment automatically turn into a big jump in participation? I'm joined by Lynne Cantwell, Head of Women's Strategy at the IRFU, to take a clear-eyed look at year one of the women and girls rugby strategy. We talk about what is genuinely working, especially the build-out of provincial pathways for 16 to 23-year-olds that give motivated players weekly access to better coaching and development while they stay rooted in their clubs, schools and universities. If we want athletes arriving at senior level ready to go, the preparation has to happen in those teenage and early adult years. We also dig into event delivery and why it matters. The Women's Six Nations day at Aviva Stadium is treated as an eight-month project, with fan zones, music, hospitality, and the details that signal welcome and accessibility, from buggies to breastfeeding rooms. Lynn shares how Rugby World Cup learnings shape planning and debriefs for what comes next, including WXV and future Six Nations fixtures. From there, we go straight to the hard stuff: participation growth of 4% against a 10% target, the resourcing and staffing required to help clubs, and the central role of volunteers. We talk schools rugby, the fight for space in curricula, what sponsorship from Vodafone and Dublin Airport signals to corporate Ireland, and why broadcast access still needs real pressure, especially when women's internationals miss out on linear TV. If you care about the future of women's rugby in Ireland, listen, share it with someone involved in a club or school, and leave us a review or rating so more people can find the conversation. Find out more about what we do day in day out at Sportforbusiness.comWe publish a daily news bulletin and host regular live events on a wide range of sporting subjects.Subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts from, and look forward to more upcoming chats on leadership and the business of sport.Our upcoming live events, including our Sport and Creativity Conference on October 1st, as well as plenty more, are live on the Sport for Business website, and we'd love to have you join us.

Team Sports Business Strategy with Keira Emerson, Chief Strategy Officer at St Louis Blues

In the second hour of the show the guys start with Threefer Madness, talk Sports Business with Kelly Brothers and more NFL.

One of the biggest sporting events on the planet is about to land in Melbourne. American football's opening weekend is coming to Australia for the first time, with tens of thousands of fans expected at the MCG.

LIV Golf promised to revolutionise professional golf when it launched with billions of dollars in Saudi backing. Now, just four years later, the competition has filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States. So what went wrong, what happens next, and what does it mean for the future of its Adelaide tournament?

Let us know what's on your mindFranchise cricket is coming to Dublin with serious ambition, and we wanted to understand what it takes to make that kind of leap in Europe. After the summer break, we sit down with Warren Deutrom, the driving force behind the European T20 Premier League, to talk through the reality behind the hype: the false starts, the relief of finally getting matches played, and the hard evidence you need once the lights go on, from crowds and feedback to broadcast traction.We dig into the original problem the league tries to solve for Irish cricket and its neighbours: how do you give local players consistent access to world-class T20 standards when the biggest leagues are elsewhere? Deutrom explains why a three-nation footprint with six city-based franchises is the most credible starting point, and why year one is all about proving the concept, even when the costs of infrastructure and broadcast production run into the millions.The commercial story is just as important as the cricket. We talk investment risk, why India sits at the centre of the funding and audience opportunity, and how Olympic cricket changes the long-term European landscape for recognition and support. We also get practical about the Dublin leg in Malahide: what the matchday experience will feel like, what kind of scores to expect, and how the league hopes to welcome both local clubs and Ireland's Indian community.If you care about the business of sport, sports marketing, broadcast growth, and what modern fan experiences look like, this one is for you. Find out more about what we do day in day out at Sportforbusiness.comWe publish a daily news bulletin and host regular live events on a wide range of sporting subjects.Subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts from, and look forward to more upcoming chats on leadership and the business of sport.Our upcoming live events, including our Sport and Creativity Conference on October 1st, as well as plenty more, are live on the Sport for Business website, and we'd love to have you join us.

M. Duane Miller likes where college football is headed. The games are bigger, athletes can participate financially, and he believes recent seasons have been some of the most exciting the sport has produced. He also sees how exposed players can be when contracts, taxes, coaching changes, injuries, and short careers collide.The Texas NIL Lawyer and former University of Texas football co-captain joins Eric Kasimov to ask a direct question: who protects college athletes? They discuss NIL contracts, taxes and 1099s, recruiting decisions, reported NIL valuations, the College Sports Commission, and the possibility of a college players association.Duane's central advice is to build the athlete's team early and never sign an agreement without the right professional reviewing it. His outlook is positive, practical, and often funny. He is pro-athlete without being anti-coach, anti-school, or anti-NCAA—and he believes stronger athlete protection can make college football better.In this episode:How media money and coaching compensation changed the argument around athlete payWhat athletes should evaluate beyond the largest offerContracts, injuries, coaching changes, and educational protectionsBuilding a team of legal, tax, marketing, and family advisersNIL income, 1099s, vehicles, and other noncash compensationWhy reported NIL valuations can be difficult to verifyWhy Duane believes college athletes may eventually need a players associationChapters:00:00 — College football's changing economics06:00 — Bowl games and postseason business10:23 — Texas football, licensing, and revenue growth13:31 — Coaching compensation and the athlete-pay argument22:00 — Social media pressure on paid college athletes29:24 — Choosing a school beyond the largest offer34:00 — Injuries, coaching changes, and life after football36:08 — Reviewing NIL contracts37:05 — Building the athlete's advisory team42:26 — Taxes, 1099s, and noncash compensation45:06 — Reported NIL numbers and “Dr. No”49:00 — Why the old model is not returning1:04:08 — The College Sports Commission and government oversight1:05:00 — The case for a players association1:08:00 — Athlete protections beyond football1:11:22 — Where to find The Texas NIL LawyerConnect with M.

In this episode of In The LOOP, Jordan Jo sits down with Neil Shultz—a financial advisor turned trusted friend—for a conversation rooted in ownership, discipline, and building a life beyond the rodeo arena. What started as a simple phone call with “$2,000 to invest” turned into something much bigger… a full shift in mindset around money, priorities, and the future. Neil brings a perspective that most in the rodeo world don't always have access to—one that challenges the way we think about income, debt, and what happens when the rodeo road slows down. They talk about paying yourself first, understanding good versus bad debt, and why having a plan matters more than how much money you start with. At the core of it all is a simple belief: If you don't have a plan… you're already behind. This episode is a reminder that success isn't just about what you win in the arena… it's about what you build after it.

Kelley Earnhardt Miller welcomes Howard Hitchcock and Richard Barry, the CEO and COO of Lionel Brands Group, to the Business of Motorsports for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on one of NASCAR's most beloved and misunderstood businesses. What most fans see as a toy or a souvenir is actually the product of a 12-to-18-month process involving complex CAD data from OEM tech centers, hand-applied waterslide decals, Chinese factory peak seasons, and approval chains that run through teams, NASCAR, Goodyear, and every single sponsor on the car. Howard and Richard break down why scarcity is not a bug but a feature, how the collapse of single-sponsor deals reshaped the entire product line, and why getting confetti placement right on a Chase Elliott victory car matters more than most people would ever imagine. They also get personal, talking about what drew Richard to invest in a brand with 126 years of history, why Howard collects presidential china, and how a three-year-old kid getting a diecast signed at a fan event captures everything this hobby is actually about. If you have ever wondered how a win on Sunday becomes a collectible in your hands months later, this is the conversation that explains it all.
