Today's episode is an enlightening conversation with world respected football journalist Ben Jacobs.

In today's age of bottomless content and ITK's galore it can be often tough to identify the signal amongst the noise. However we have no such problem with today's guest. With a punditry career spanning 15+ years Ben takes us through many of the principles which have fuelled his ascent and enabled him to build reciprocal relationships in the game.

With the added scrutiny of a large social media following, Ben's world can be an often a precarious place at times. So how does he deal with this?

Learn as to how "the work in a transfer window is done before the transfer window", how Ben recovers from setbacks and how his preparation remains his separation.

Listen to find out more including;

- Behind the scenes of a journalist's life in a transfer window.

- Developing genuine relationships within the industry.

- Being an early adopter of the digital age and the advantages which ensued.

- How to be adaptable without sacrificing the end goal?

- Getting the story out versus getting it right.
