PRO FILES: RYAN RUNKE Season 3 Episode 15 On today’s show, Ryan Runke with a special edition of Pro Files. This one is about what it take to make as a pro today. Ryan has had a long history in the sport - starting like many, working in a snowboard shop.  This proved to be a stepping stone for Ryan who went on to jobs at Version, K2, Rome and Red Bull before becoming an athlete agent. And that’s what we focus on here - what it takes to make it, get noticed and maintain a career as a professional athlete in the sport.    Normally we cover a lot more with our Pro Files - and they end up between 1-2 hours long. This one we cut back to the single subject, because we believe there are a lot of riders asking themselves similar questions. Conventional wisdom would hold that a shorter interview is more quick to make - not when yiu pair down a full length interview to something more digestible. Either way, let us know what you think: email mark@thesnowboardproject.com   We talk about: Difference between athletes from different sports How to break through from a sponsored amatuer to a paid professional How an agent discovers talent Managing career  vs. lining up deals (80%manager 20% manager) Challenges of being an agent - managing expectations Managing Shaun White, Travis Rice and Ryan Sheckler at the same time for Redbull What does it take to maintain a pro career and not fall off.  Creating a business plan from an athletic career The importance of social media to athletes today Social media training for athletes Analytics vs. talent First half hour digs into what it takes  Content is king- media landscape is changing     Hosted by:  Mark Sullivan   Produced by: Mark Sullivan Dustin H James   This episode is sponsored by:   Cardiff Snowcraft  @cardiffsnow www.cardiffsnow.com Coupon Code: “THESNOWBOARDPROJECT15” {15% off at their website)    Never Summer Snowboards @neversummer www.neversummer.com    Lago Snowboards @lagosnowboards www.lagosnowboards.com   Check them out!
