Today, the Dr. Phil Show is in its fifth season and is shown in over 15 countries. Dr. Phil needed a sports business expert recently and called on our very own Dr. Lynn Lashbrook! The Dr. Phil Show has an upcoming show that will feature a young man who is interested in getting involved in a sports career. Thanks to Dr. Phil and his great advice… this young man will be joining us at the Sports Management Worldwide Sports Career Conference. (But shhhh… we can’t say anything more… you’ll just have to watch the Dr. Phil show to hear about Dr. Lynn and SMWW!) The show is expected to run in late January or early February.
