Pugh, an offensive lineman, spent more than a decade competing at the highest level in the NFL with the New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers. With this episode, the first produced entirely in English, the podcast continues its growth journey, opening up to an even broader and global audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The English-language episodes are hosted by Ross Cook, Senior Technical Sponsorships Manager at Macron and former professional rugby player. During the conversation, Cook and Pugh discuss topics including leadership, mental preparation, team culture and the contribution American football can make to the development of sport in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCampus Talks\u201d was launched by Macron in February 2026 with the aim of promoting sport as a tool for connection and storytelling. The project forms part of the Italian brand\u2019s broader strategy to build an international editorial and storytelling platform. The release of the first English-language episode marks a significant step in this journey, reflecting the outlook of a company that generates more than 80% of its turnover from global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Editorial responsibility and technical production of the podcast are managed by the Macron Media House, the in-house structure dedicated to content development and support for the brand\u2019s corporate communication. Recordings take place in the podcast studio at the Macron Campus, the company\u2019s headquarters near Bologna, from which the project takes its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new episode is available on Macron\u2019s official YouTube channel and on the main audio streaming platforms: Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previous guests on\u00a0<em>Campus Talks<\/em>\u00a0include: Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron; Elisabetta Canalis; Alino Diamanti; Nicola Rizzoli; Alessandra Neri; Gonzalo Quesada; and Lorenzo De Silvestri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest episode of Campus Talks, former NFL player Justin Pugh discusses leadership, team culture and mental preparation, marking the podcast\u2019s first episode produced entirely in English as part of Macron\u2019s global growth strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":20593,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":[],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-corporate"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The first english episode of &quot;Campus Talks&quot;
