James is joined again by NBA agent Stacey Leawood for the second part of this double episode.
Stacey was at university and decided that her third year would be different so she up and left Newfoundland for the big city and while finishing her degree online started to look for the perfect job for her in the basketball industry.
Getting on LinkedIn seemed to be a game changer and started to build a network of people already in the industry so took unpaid internships in order to build that network which would happen through LinkedIn.
We hear how Stacey’s commitment to her clients mean long days but it doesn’t feel like work because of the relationships she has built with the players.
You can connect with Stacey through LinkedIn
