In this episode, I sit down with Ben Nichols, Founder & CEO of Padel22, to unpack a 20-year career that’s taken him from Formula 1 to the World Anti-Doping Agency and finally into the booming world of padel.

We talk about:

- how to break into the sports industry

- the tough moments that end up pushing you in better directions

- the rise of padel in the UK, US, and beyond

Ben shares honest lessons, pivotal moments, and the mindset that helped him reinvent himself multiple times in sport.
