In this episode, Tim dove into his personal and professional background, sharing insights from his expansive career that spans across the NFL, NHL, NBA, and now the MLS.
Tim opened up about the influential figures from his youth and early career, discussing how mentors and role models have shaped his professional ethos and strategic approach. He reflected on the transitions and challenges of adapting marketing strategies to suit the unique cultures and fanbases of each team he's managed, and other areas of the business that he had to learn when transitioning from CMO to President.
