ABOUT THE SHOW

Paul Cascade is a high school journalist and athlete who is pulling back the curtain on the sports industry. At 15 years old, he was curious about the business side of sports and started interviewing agents, managers, brand founders, and the people who don't always get the spotlight. If you're an athlete who wants to see what happens off the field, this is the podcast for you.

Legendary sports agent JB Bernstein didn't even know agents existed until 1990. Now he's represented Barry Sanders, Barry Bonds, and Emmitt Smith, co-founded Major League Soccer, and inspired a Disney movie about his Million Dollar Arm contest in India. In this conversation, JB shares how he landed Barry Sanders as a client (spoiler: Barry recruited him), why he refused to take money from playing contracts, his most embarrassing pitch failure, and how AI is about to completely transform athlete marketing.
