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.
