Whether it’s our virtual experience or immersive program in Las Vegas, there’s no doubt about it, SBC is very special because of the people involved in it. This episode of the Audio Experience kicks off a new series titled Students in Focus. And what better way to showcase some of our outstanding students then to enlist another impressive alumni to host! John Hartofilis of New York City sits down with a number of top performers from our December 2021 GM Academy Virtual Experience. They each broke down the experience they had learning from top NBA General Managers and executives as well as what they are most looking forward to this July at the Las Vegas Summer League. Our guests also broke down the ins and outs of the Sports Business Classroom and shed light on opportunities that have come to them since joining the SBC family. We hope you enjoy this special edition of the Sports Business Classroom Audio Experience!
