Episode 20: Troy Kirby, Host, "The Tao of Sports" Podcast & Sports Business Consultant

Front Office Exchange

Welcome to Episode 20 - the holiday edition! - of the Front Office Exchange podcast, where you'll hear from the one, the only, Troy Kirby, Sports Business Consultant and host of the popular "The Tao of Sports" podcast. Let's be honest, if you're listening to my podcast, you're definitely listening to Troy's. When I started FOE a few months ago, I had a plan in mind, but I would be lying if I said I didn't try to mimic many of the things that Troy does in ToS. While his podcast is more topical rather than career-focused, his passion, energy and the sheer volume of podcasts he's produced (700+?!) is staggering. The man is a machine, and he has set quite a bar in the sports business podcast world. Troy and I went for close to an hour, and he commented at one point that he's sure he was being boring and that the podcast was running long. Needless to say, I disagreed; while yes, this is one of the longer podcasts I've posted, if you're into sports business, I think you'll love it. I appreciated Troy's perspective on always wanting to learn, grow and experience best practices in sales, even in different industries. He recalls some of his favorite podcasts and advice he likes to share to those in the industry, including that there is no excuse not to do something - anything - that you want to in today's day and age; technology puts everything at our fingertips, and he points to his podcast - and mine - as an example of that. We also talked about his sales boot camps and what he's up to now outside the podcast. Big thanks both to Troy and to you for listening.
