In this episode of The Insider's Lounge, we sit down with Sebastian Avanzini to break down how athletes can start building for life after sports. He shares his professional football journey, the steps he took to monetize his knowledge while still playing, and the balance between formal education and real world experience. Sebastian also reveals his frameworks for turning expertise into real business opportunities, including the founding of Eduvo, an education tech platform that helps high performers turn their knowledge into digital mentorship programs at scale. We also dive into his "5 P’s" approach for getting started and how athletes can build real personal brands that create long term influence.
