The Sports Business Conversations Podcast

🚨New Episode: After years leading TBS Sports projects that involved the NBA and NASCAR, Scott Doyne was laid off. That tough blow led to his next chapter, and years in #sportsbiz prepared him perfectly for this moment. 🎧➡️ https://lnkd.in/gtvhXEq8 Scott is one of a million legendary sports business stories. Wanted to work in sports. Did all the things he needed to do: worked his tail off, got a job with Turner Sports to work on NASCAR and then the NBA, hooked into digital media when it was just starting to take off, and doing all the things that make working in sports pretty fun. Going to games. Playing golf at cool courses. You know the drill. Pretty awesome right? Well, it was. Right up until the time that it wasn’t. Right about the time that Scott was getting ready to turn 50, TBS laid him off. He looked around and, despite all he’d accomplished, his sports business career appeared over. But a moment of personal crisis turned into one of transformation. Scott now provides career counseling services to people who may be feeling the same way he once did. He even wrote a book about it: “The Midlife Career Crisis” which is available on Amazon. In this episode, we talk about the book, his career in sports, and what it’s like stand on the precipice of what can only be called monumental change. #sportsbusiness #sportsbiz #sportsmarketing #sportspodcast #career

🚨 New Episode 🚨 Yves Batoba and Parker Graham, founders of Vestible, make it possible for fans to directly invest in the careers of their favorite athletes. 🎧➡️ https://lnkd.in/gV9PnJdg I collected baseball cards as kid. I still remember the excitement of saving up that $1 and heading out the drugstore to get a fresh pack. Then carefully opening the wax paper, popping the worst piece of gum ever conceived into my mouth, and sorting through the trove of 15 cards and PRAYING that I’d get a player from the Boston Red Sox. There was just something about having a picture of that player in your hand, and pouring over his stats, whether he hit righty or lefty, his nickname, and more. It somehow made me feel closer to the player and the game. Connected, even. Yves Batoba and Parker Graham, the founders of Vestible, have taken that small idea of connectedness, and breathed fresh and compelling life into it. That’s because Vestible gives fans the ability to make investment directly into their favorite athletes in return for a share of their future earnings. At the beginning of this NFL season, Denver Broncos LB Baron Browning became Vestible's first athlete IPO, generating over $650K in the offering. Many more athletes are following. In our conversation, Yves and Parker recall reconnecting after their playing days at Oklahoma State came to an end, how they came up with the concept that became Vestible, their advice for other sports entrepreneurs, and much more. We’ll even test their knowledge about their alma mater Oklahoma State University in the lightning round. It’s…. interesting. #sportsbiz #sportsbusiness #entrepreneur #athleteinvestor #sportspodcast #vestible
