SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
I had never been asked to write a forward for a book, and then in the course of thirty days two dear friends and colleagues asked me to do so. I guess everyone else was on vacation, lol. Seriously it was very humbling and quite an honor to be asked by both Shripal Shah and …
Our business doesn’t go an hour it seems without some “big news” off the field. The ESPN launch, NIL and college issues, FIFA World Cup planning, streaming wars, gambling suspensions, NBA Europe, Caitlin Clark and on and on. If Billy Joel wanted to write a sports version of “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” it wouldn’t …
I have taken the time to watch Hard Knocks with the Buffalo Bills as well as the Netflix series on the SEC, and am always amazed ato try to learn from the nuances of preparation, especially with elements of the game like punts and the returners and their meticulous attention to catching a ball while …

We love giving our interns the ability to be out and about listening and learning. Great observations here from Elon’s Luke Silpe, who got to spend a few days in the Javits Center craziness. Fanatics Fest was an epic event for someone like me who spent his childhood around baseball. We’re talking about stepping into …
We love listening and learning from those just starting the journey, and this summer one of our interns, James Gumina, a student at Yale who has launched the school’s sports business club, has volunteered to give us his thoughts on what he is watching, following and engaging with. Take it away James. As a young …
“This is the business we have chosen.” I was thinking about that line from The Godfather from Hyman Roth (The legendary actor Lee Strasburg) LIV Golf reaches its third year anniversary and while their issues with the PGA TOUR have not fully been resoved, some of the original issues about foreign investment in sport seems …
We love to say…because its true, lol…that personal and professional growth is tied to building relationships, curious learning and sometimes just showing up.
