Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the launch of Series 5 of the podcast and I could not think of a better guest than the one and only 'Dodge', Paul Rogers. He has worn many different hats throughout his career from commodities trader to professional footballer, commercial manager at BHAFC to business consultant. He is one of the most connected men in Sussex and someone I am lucky to call a close friend.This was such a fascinating conversation about Dodge's story from growing up and learning the importance of a strong work ethic and taking that into every part of his career. We discuss his early years as a city trader to getting the call from Sheffield United Manager Dave Bassett. We talk about imposter syndrome when at 26 you sign a professional football contract, the next minute you're playing against John Barnes and Jamie Redknapp and watching yourself on Match of the Day, but how he learnt to adapt and adapt quickly. We delve into his time after football as commercial manager at BHAFC to leaving the club after 18 years prior to them being promoted to the premier league. He shares some great stories from his amazing football career and some of the lessons he has learnt on the way that has held him in good stead in life and in business.Three Key lessons:⭕️ Develop a strong work ethic🟥 Learn to adapt and adapt quickly🔺 Always be moving forwardThis really is an episode you will not want to miss."You can't change the past, that's happened, you just need to keep moving forward"To watch the episode on YouTube click here 🧢 https://youtu.be/JeGw5QCZWzcOUR SPONSORS Rivervale 🧢 https://www.rivervale.co.uk/Plus X 🧢 https://www.plusxinnovation.com/OUR PRODUCERSH2 Productions Ltd 🧢 https://h2productions.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
