S3 Campfire #3 - John Sorzano - The Shelf’s own Jerry Maguire.

We're back for another campfire “We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors.” Jerry Maguire, 1996.  Today Patsy & I host a ‘larger than life character’ from across the pond, John Sorzano.  John, gives us a snapshot into his glamourous world as a top ‘sports agent’. We discover, Jerry Maguire ‘show me the money’ is one of his favourite films and we use that to take a humorous look into that mysterious world where perceptions include ‘living your best life, mixing with celebrities, and having it all.  We get to understand the realities of what a sports agent says, does, and means behind the scenes. ‘It’s not just a 9-5, if a player or a club rings you at midnight you’re going to answer your phone’ John shows us what the creme de la creme of customer service looks like - ‘clients are more than just customers....they are family’.  With a few laughs along the way, we get to the heart of an occupation that’s shrouded in secrecy and offers as much ‘highlife’ as a compromise.  So get ready to enjoy John, a sports agent aficionado whose purpose isn’t to be ‘just another shark in a suit’, but someone who’s out there for his clients - up at dawn, hustling big with his head and his heart and after it’s all said and done, settling back down to ‘normal life’ antics - navigating the soft play etiquette!  As always, thanks for staying Curious Editing - Che Cardoso
