How You Build a Life in Sports Without Being an Athlete

What does it actually look like to build a life in sports if you’re not the one on the field?

In this episode, I sit down with Derek Sharrer, President of the St. Paul Saints, to talk about his decades-long career in minor league baseball. We get into what the work really is, how careers in sports actually start, what keeps people in the industry long-term, and the unglamorous realities no one tells you upfront.

This conversation is less about highlight reels and more about: • career longevity • leadership behind the scenes • loving the work, not just the brand • building a meaningful career one season at a time

If you’re curious about careers in sports, operations, leadership, or just how people build lives doing work they care about, this one’s worth your time.
