Acerca de Stick to Sports Biz

While many people's first question about a job in sports business is "how?" there can often be even more learned from the "who?" and "why?" I'm your host Brandon Fleshman, and after spending the past decade working for some of the biggest sports teams and brands in the world, I'm seeking out others who have made a career in sports to get their stories. Whether you want to work in sports, are already working in sports, or you're just a sports fan, follow along as guests discuss their lives on and off the field.

David Brickley

David Brickley (Owner and CEO, STN Digital [https://www.stndigital.com/]) joins S2SB to discuss why he started a company full of GOATs, how getting in touch with his idol helped him realize he could control his own destiny, and why he’s taken chances on himself throughout his career. David and Brandon talk about protecting your peace, pivoting to a new dream when it becomes clear one isn’t going to work out the way you thought, and why you shouldn’t wait for someone else’s permission to have the career you want.
