Prior to that, my background in sports, I played a lot growing up. I captained multiple teams while at university and then fell into sponsorship and then fell in love. I just thought, what a wonderful form of marketing.

And obviously the fact that the money goes into sports, which I'm very passionate about, or entertainment, music, which I'm really passionate about. And so started that 10 years ago.
