Welcome to "The Hooswhere" podcast, hosted by Chase Minnifield and recorded live in the vibrant heart of DC. This season, join us for intriguing conversations, as we're joined by the insightful Max and our special guest, John Colan, a seasoned professional with a unique journey.

In this episode, John takes us on a fascinating ride through his academic and professional life, starting with his time at the University of Virginia, where he studied history and discovered his love for Greek life and sports. John's decision to attend UVA over the University of Michigan, due to proximity and affordability, set the stage for his future endeavors.

John delves into the importance of networking outside of his fraternity during college and the pivotal moment when he decided to pursue law school. His passion for sports law was ignited during his time interning at Coaches Inc., which ultimately led to a full-time job offer.

As a sports law professional, John shares captivating stories about his work with lacrosse and hockey coaches, offering insights into contract negotiation, career development, and crisis management. He emphasizes the vital role of leverage in securing favorable deals for clients and the impact of winning records on coaches' value.

But John's journey didn't stop there. He transitioned into commercial real estate, bringing his expertise in negotiation and trust-building with him. He shares his thoughts on leveraging contracts and the importance of referrals in both industries.

In a thought-provoking discussion, John predicts the future of office-to-residential conversions in commercial real estate, driven by market changes and the need for alternative uses for vacant office buildings, especially in oversupplied big cities.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into John's non-traditional career path, his appreciation for independent work, and his plans for the future, including ventures suggested by his partner.

The conversation turns to a hot topic - Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) compensation for college athletes. John acknowledges the deserving players but criticizes the NCAA's handling of the matter. He offers a nuanced perspective on how NIL deals impact coaching contracts and the potential paradigm shift in thinking about amateurism in college sports.

Join us as we explore the worlds of sports law and commercial real estate with John Colan. Subscribe now on YouTube and Apple Podcasts to stay connected with "The Hooswhere" podcast!
