SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
This should have been a landmark weekend for all those around the various ventures Vince McMahon oversees; the XFL, now with warmer weather coming, new faces established, media partners engaged and innovation in game presentation rising, would continue to see an uptick as March Madness came to an end, while thousands would have filled Raymond …
Because of some of the side hustles…although usually side hustles bring you money (not in this case for the most part)…I get more than my share of inbound emails. Many are requests from students or parents, some are for items for our newsletter, some are just blind random solicitations for some kind of vague assistance …
As we wade through the unchartered waters of business life on hiatus it’s always good to draw from best practices past, especially ones that can help lead you forward. An example as in my basement file cabinet, here I keep the notebooks and legal pads that have spanned the better part of 30 years …

The goal was to stop at the Basketball Hall of Fame on the way to the 2020 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston last week. It was a great fit and not that far out of the way for myself and my colleague Scott Rosner; what could be a better way to kick off …
There used to be the great divide; those who loved sports and those who loved science, and rarely the two crossed paths. However today, with the advent of advanced analytics in sport, VR and AR, gaming and esports, even robotics, the worlds of what we thought were “sport” and how the two intersect today have …
