My 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.
