SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
Sunday morning, I went to an early mass at our parish, St. John the Baptist in Hillsdale, NJ, and I am always interested and intrigued to what our pastor, Monsignor Peter Smutelovic, has in store for his homily. This week he talked a great deal about the faith that the two College Football championship quarterbacks, …
This past week I was catching up with my colleague Terry Lyons on ideas big and small, and we turned to the ideas of what needs to be brought to the table when trying to take a spark of an idea and make it bloom in a time challenged world. Like the book I was …
Facebook, or META remains an obsession to some, an annoyance to others, a necessary evil for another group. For me it provides to essential services every morning. Every morning. Birthdays and Memories. Many complain about silly things like birthdays; but I don’t. Thanks to all, almost 500 people from around the world and around all …

Most times I have no idea where nuggets of curious learning are coming from. Case in point was a story I rewatched from a few years ago on CBS Sunday that talked about comedians who have embraced TikTok to expand their reach, including one of the best, Adam Waheed, who has focused entirely on the medium …
There is a senior executive I know who constantly reminds his communications person that he needs deals, not more friends. As we start a new year and I think back on all the new people I met this year, I find that very sad. I was having lunch and then some calls with colleagues who …
In his book, “The Daily Dad,’ author Ryan Holiday always talks about the way we can bring long term value to relationships, especially with our kids. One of the terms he used as the year came to an end was the difference between “presents and presence.” In the hyper competitive world we are in today, …
One of the best…and the worst…parts of being in the sports industry on the team and league side is its cyclical nature. Although there is rarely an offseason these days, you have a start date, at least some fashion of an end date, dates of events along the way and a cadence that can be …
