Hi, I’m Michael Gallagher.

This is my dedicated platform for writing and podcasting about all things economics and sports related. The goal is to tell stories about what I learn. If you want to join in this journey, I write a weekly email sharing the coolest things I’ve learned each week.

My posts cross between topics like collective bargaining, roster management, behavioral economics, mental biases, interest rates, and signaling. However, all my writings share the same focus of bringing to light topics that deserve more attention.

My most popular articles include Lessons Learned From Daryl Morey, Biggest Mistake When Drafting a Quarterback, and The Modern-Day Playbook to Reach an NFL Front Office.

I also summarize the best podcasts I listen to on Twitter. My most popular threads include breakdowns of GM Shuffle, Invest Like the Best, What Got You There, Acquired, and Infinite Loops.

If you’re interested in long form content, I wrote a book on the 2016 University of Virginia football season. It details the importance of culture, teamwork, accountability and how to build a great, lasting organization.

Beyond writing, I also host a podcast. The 25th Hour Ideas Podcast is a wide-ranging series of conversations with athletes, coaches, and entrepreneurs. Each episode focuses on a central principle required to build a successful organization.

You can also email me by sending a note to mgallagher5861@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Michael
