For S2E10 of “Intersections: a podcast by The Connect” we have a very special guest: Vanessa Åsell Tsuruga, Senior Manager of Global Sports Digital Strategy at Rakuten. She recently spoke with Rayde and Luis about her journey and responsibilities within the Rakuten Sports business, what inspires her in life and work, and why representation matters. As  a common thread of our conversations so far, we explored the importance of mentoring and who and how shaped the life journey she finds herself in. Vanessa also spoke about her love for writing, and how she is now a published author with her debut novel in Swedish, also translated into English, “Forget-me-not Forever” which is available on Kobo as an eBook: English - https://www.kobo.com/ebook/forget-me-not-forever Swedish -   https://www.kobo.com/ebook/forgatmigej-for-alltid #sports #sportsbusiness #media #content #storytelling #digital #mentorship #representation #entertainment #sportsmedia #publishing #literature #books #ebooks #technology Find Us Online OUR LINKS Credits - Hosts: Rayde Luis Baez, Twitter: @RaydeLuisBT, Vedran Kusljugic & Luis Manuel Baez.
