Bill Squires, or as I know him as Professor Squires from Columbia University’s Sports Management Master’s program, emphasizes the importance of being curious. Curiosity and being kind go a long way. It’s just not about networking, it’s about making connections that can lead to friendships. He has an amazing story of how he started working in the sports business and continued to pivot. Additionally, he’s now the president of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation NJ Chapter.
