Gerard Marrone shares some stories of his brief time in retail services, but mostly his first and truest love; soccer. He shares stories of his time in professional soccer, how he managed the WPS team Sky Blue FC in their first year, going on to the inaugural Women’s Professional Soccer championship in 2009. We talk about LinkedIn, some of what works, what doesn't and.. some other stuff.
