97. Ben Lampkin: How he Rocket Fueled his Career

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Ben Lampkin. Who’s Ben Lampkin, I hear you ask. Well, you may not have heard of Ben, but I can guarantee you’ve definitely heard of his boss, Sir Elton John! Ben is Managing Director of Rocket Sports, a sports marketing business specialising in talent management, brand partnerships, etc, co-founded by Elton John. While that’s a pretty cool thing in and of itself, it’s not the only reason I’ve invited Ben to the show. Ben has had a non-traditional career path, and stopped studies after high school. I’m grateful to podcasting as a medium, because with this conversation, I want to showcase that there are multiple ways to be successful. In this warm and forthcoming exchange, Ben shares with us:- his unconventional career journey, - how he got hired by Rocket Sports, - how he and his team make a decision to sign on new talent,... and so much more.Follow Ben on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-lampkin-3aba9724/Book by Ben's cousin Dougin Lampkin: https://www.amazon.com/Trials-Error-Dougie-Lampkin-author/dp/1471170616/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8---------------------------Liked this episode?
