It’s not often you stumble across a ten-year-old New Zealander hosting a business podcast, but then again, most ten-year-olds aren’t like self-proclaimed budding entrepreneur Eli Smit. After discovering Smit as our Emerging Talent, we will be hosting season two of Smit’s podcast on Idealog. In this episode, Smit chats with Karl Budge, director of The LIVE Experience. Budge is a strategic sports leader who has played a key role building the ASB Classic, WTA, Australian Open and FIFA brands globally. He is also about to bring one of the most exciting surf events New Zealand has ever had: the Corona Piha Pro.
