As Josh Lagan’s post below states, Lewis Howes, founder of SportsNetworker.com, challenged the Manhattan Sports Business Academy students to interview top sports executives via web chat. Not only were Josh and I the first two MSBA students to complete this task, but we were also the first two to complete it in the two years that Lewis has been offering the challenge to students across the country. My three interviews were conducted with:
1) Leigh Steinberg – CEO of Steinberg Sports and Entertainment (Super Agent and inspiration for the movie Jerry Maguire)
2) Patrick Bellanca – Lead Producer and Designer of EA Sports Madden NFL
3) Sean Flynn – Senior Vice President of Marketing and Event Booking for the Miami Marlins
Below are the three interviews I have conducted thus far (there are more on the way, including Mark Lamping – Team President of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and former Team President of the St. Louis Cardinals):
1) Interview with Leigh Steinberg
2) Interview with Patrick Bellanca
