Show Notes

If you're a soccer fan or sports fan in general, listen to my conversation with Padraig Smith who tells us what it's like to work in soccer and lead a professional team.

We hear about his career journey from Ireland to the US, which included working with UEFA and rubbing shoulders with big clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid.

In the volatile world that is sports, Padraig focuses on surrounding himself with good people and building an organization that has long term sustainability.
