Tom Giles always dreamt of making it in football, and he did when he was hired by AFC Bournemouth, Chelsea FC, MCC and Bath Rugby, before launching his own sports business.
In this episode, Tom shares the realities of working in elite sport, the transition to entrepreneurship, and why surrounding yourself with high-performing people matters. He also opens up about his personal journey as a father raising a child with a rare syndrome, and how that challenge fuels his drive, resilience, and ambition.
