The Sports Entrepreneurs Podcast by Marcus Luer

The Sports Entrepreneurs Podcast is an “audio biography” series with the leading Entrepreneurs and Movers & Shakers in the business of Sports & Esports of the past 40 years. Marcus drills deep into the career of his guests, what worked and what didn’t, the learning from the good, bad and ugly. Through his wide network, Marcus is able to host top guests from across the industry and from around the world. As a western Sports Entrepreneur operating in Asia for the past 25 years, it has a certain East-West flavour.

Scott O'Neil

Chief Executive Officer at Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment

"The asian market as you know as well as anyone is a completely different marketplace to Europe and US and subs models at a premium will struggle to be successful there - alternative models are needed, and markets and there's still limited insights as to what works and what doesn't out there. Marcus - you need to continue to share those lessons with the wider industry - it's invaluable insights as to what works and what doesn't out there."

"Hi Marcus, once again wanted to say how great your Podcast has been, the last episode especially where you shared some personal business stories. It's so valuable and refreshing to hear what didn't go so well and i don't think many would be so open about these things."

Mark Epps

"I'm a fan of your podcast. You are doing a great job sharing your experience and inviting the most prominent people from the business. I spent only 8 years exposed to Polish and European sports marketing environment. Therefore, there is still a lot of industry insights to catch and use."

Despite being an executive on the front and back end of Sports & Entertainment for 15 years, I look to you to educate myself and keep my finger on the pulse of the biz. Brother, you roll out top shelf content and a PhD on Sports Entrepreneurship. I appreciate you."
