E13: The 3 pillars for building a legacy after sports: Investment, Partnerships, and Social Impact

Today, we welcome Ben Peppi to the show. Ben currently is Head of Sport at JMW Solicitors, one of the top law firms in the UK, but he has knowledge across so many spaces…athletes, investment, consumer brands, obviously sports law and startups. Overall, this is a conversation about legacy. Specifically, about the pillars that build up an athlete's legacy after retirement: Investment, Partnerships, and Social Impact. We start by talking about Leo Messi's new tech investment vehicle and why there is so much difference between American and European players when it comes to investing to then shift into different ways in which footballers are approaching their investment strategies. Then we talk about sponsorship, and how the player empowerment era is driving new partnership dynamics across the entire industry as players are becoming more “values-driven.” and how this impact the revenue models for football properties We even get to talk about opportunities in web 3 and the social impact initiatives that many football players put in place This was a true masterclass and we hope you get value from it too!
