In this week’s episode of The Business of Football Podcast, David Chimbaza takes listeners inside his recent visit to the InScout Innovators Forum in Middlesbrough, sharing a detailed reflection on a day packed with insight, conversation, and real world football business learning. From player care and safeguarding to scouting, women’s football, non league leadership, community foundations, post career support, medical innovation, and agency work, David breaks down the key takeaways from every speaker and explains why events like this matter so much for anyone looking to build a career in football. This episode is a reminder that the game is shaped not just by what happens on the pitch, but by the people, organisations, and ideas working behind the scenes to support players, clubs, and communities.

Hosted by business entrepreneur David Chimbaza, The Business of Football Podcast has become a growing platform for honest conversations about the football industry, leadership, and career pathways in the game. David has sat down with some of the most established voices in sport, building a platform that explores both the business of football and the personal journeys behind it. Alongside running his own platform, David also manages a student leadership consultancy and is part of the FA’s Leadership Academy, giving him a unique perspective on leadership, development, and the opportunities that exist across the football landscape. Through weekly podcasts, articles, and wider content, The Business of Football Network continues to shine a light on the leaders on and off the pitch who are shaping the future of the game.
