Rethinking Leadership in Sport & Business: How Ed Smith Uses Humanities & AI to Shape Future Leaders
This week's podcast special guest is Ed Smith – former professional cricketer, author, broadcaster, ex-Chief Selector for England Cricket (2018–2021), President of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), and Director of the Institute for Sport and Humanites (ISH).
From opening the batting for Kent as a teenager to helping England win the Cricket World Cup and now shaping leaders through education and AI, Ed's career spans elite performance, leadership, and deep thinking about what sport can teach us about life. He's uniquely placed at the intersection of high-performance sport, humanities, and emerging technologies like AI.
In this conversation, Ed shares how his experiences in professional cricket, writing, and academic leadership have shaped his philosophy on amateur vs professional mindsets, balance vs obsession, and how education and AI can help us rethink leadership in both sport and business.
What You'll Discover:
- Ed's unexpected leap into professional cricket: How he went from Kent U19s to opening the batting in the County Championship almost overnight – and why loving the game and being a good learner matters more than being "ahead" when you're young.
- Amateur vs professional mindset – and why we need both: The core ideas from his book What Sport Tells Us About Life – why "amateur" shouldn't mean sloppy, how to protect the joy that got you into sport in the first place, and how to carry that into a professional environment.
- The real meaning of balance in high performance: Why Ed's best seasons (1997 and 2003) came when he was stretched off the field – studying for university exams and writing a book – and what this teaches athletes and leaders about not sacrificing everything for performance.
- Using your 'extra' time as an athlete wisely: Ed's candid view that many professional athletes have more time than they think – and how using that time for education, reflection, or a second discipline can actually improve on-field performance.
- The Institute for Sport and Humanities (ISH) and leadership development: How Ed founded ISH while serving as England's Chief Selector, the type of leaders they're developing (from players like Matt Fisher and Heather Knight to professionals across sports), and why critical thinking, humanities, and AI now sit at the heart of modern leadership.
- Flow state, form, and the 'absence of irrelevant thought': Ed's practical take on flow – how to focus on enjoying concentration rather than runs or results, how to handle bad form, and why being fully present (and not thinking about anything else) is a powerful competitive advantage.
- Lessons for business leaders from elite sport: How ideas like balance, deep focus, love of the work, and intelligent use of technology (including AI) translate directly from the dressing room to the boardroom – and what leaders in any industry can borrow from Ed's playbook.

How Important Is a Wealth Management Plan for Professional Footballers? Dominic Baldwin on Trust, Values, and Financial Security in Elite Sport This week's guest is Dominic Baldwin, founder and CEO of Xentum Financial Planning, an independent, UK-based financial planning firm based in Knutsford, Cheshire — and founder of Xentum Sport, built specifically for people in sport who want control, clarity, and coaching to make decisions with their money.
Dominic launched Xentum in 2004 after seeing firsthand the shortcomings of commission-based financial advice, having watched it negatively impact his own father's wealth and wellbeing. That experience shaped his mission ever since: providing clear, accountable, long-term financial guidance — first for business owners approaching an exit and high-net-worth families protecting generational wealth, and now, through Xentum Sport, for elite footballers navigating short careers and life-changing income.
Xentum Sport is supported by Chris Smalling and Bryan Robson, and built on a simple principle: Have a Plan.
In this conversation, Dominic opens up about why trust has to be earned through genuine presence, not process — and what he's learned working with high-performing individuals about building wealth that actually lasts beyond the game.
What You'll Discover:
- How to build authentic trust with elite athletes — Dominic explains why being genuinely present, not just professionally competent, is what separates a real advisor relationship from a transactional one.
- Why personal values matter when creating wealth — how Dominic's own approach to financial planning is shaped by the values he holds, not just the numbers on a spreadsheet.
- Two key values Dominic has learned from high-performing individuals — the recurring traits he's seen across successful athletes and business owners when it comes to building and protecting wealth.
- How to make effective decisions about your personal wealth — practical thinking for cutting through noise and pressure when the stakes (and the numbers) are high.
- Dominic's vision for Xentum Sport — how the partnership with Chris Smalling and Bryan Robson came together, and what it means to build financial support specifically for footballers, by people who understand the game — and much more.

Why football clubs are small businesses with huge impact Behind the Premier League spotlight, most clubs run with relatively small off-field teams, working seven days a week across stadium and training ground. 2.

Composure, pressure and the 'acting skills' of a Football CEO Results swing, league tables change, pressure intensifies. Paul explains how he's learned to stay calm externally even when he feels exactly like the fans internally — and why consistency, perspective, and responsibility to his staff shape how he shows up on matchday and in crisis. 4. Building Europe's first purpose-built women's stadium Paul unpacks Brighton's bold plan to invest £75–80 million in a purpose-built stadium for their women's team — designed through a female performance lens and a different audience profile. He explains why this is both the right thing for athletes and a long-term business play, and how it can set a standard for other clubs. 5. Humour as a strategic leadership tool (with Jeff Mostyn) Through stories of former AFC Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn — including hiding under a boardroom table and cutting tension in Premier League meetings — Paul shows how humour can defuse conflict, build relationships, and keep people going through intense periods like COVID. 6.

From Street Football to the Saudi Pro League: Lina Boussaha on Identity, Ubuntu, and What It Really Takes To be a Professional Footballer
This week's guest is professional footballer Lina Boussaha, currently playing for Al Ittihad in the Saudi Women's Professional League and representing the Algerian national team.
Lina opens up about a journey that began on the streets, playing alongside boys, and led to competing at the highest level of the women's game. She reflects on how those early years — unstructured, joyful, relentless — quietly built the technical ability, mental toughness, and identity that define her today.
This is a conversation about resilience, faith, curiosity, and what it really means to grow as both an athlete and a person. Lina's story is grounded, honest, and full of lessons that go well beyond football.
What You'll Discover
-
Why street football builds world-class players Playing for hours without a clock, without a coach, and without consequence gave Lina something structured training rarely can — close control, creativity, and an instinct for the game that became second nature.
-
How resilience is built before you know you're training Doing it "again and again and again" wasn't a regime. It was just football. But that repetition laid the mental foundations Lina would rely on at every level of her career.
-
Ubuntu and the Al Ittihad way I am because we are. How the spirit of Ubuntu and Al Ittihad's culture of unity shape Lina's understanding of teamwork and leadership — and why no player ever succeeds alone.
-
Keeping joy alive under pressure The shift from carefree street football to the demands of elite competition is real. Lina talks honestly about how to hold onto the love of the game when the stakes get higher.
-
Principles you can take into your own career From embracing discomfort to using your everyday environment as a training ground — practical, transferable lessons for anyone building a career in sport.
