Glushon conceded he lacks a “perfect answer” to explain how his independent sports agency has thrived in a competitive landscape. Glushon credited a former mentor (former longtime agent and current Detroit Pistons vice chairman Arn Tellem). He had extensive experience at Wasserman as an intern (2006-2009) and as an agent (2009-16).
