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

Manager, Sponsorship & Marketing at ATP Tour, Inc.

"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."

Tomasz Rozenek

"I’m a huge fan! I had no clue the SEIN chat Marcus is THE Marcus here! 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."
