We enter the summer movie season this weekend, one in which the back to the theater with limited streaming at launch plan seems to be growing.

It’s been a week since we were roaming the halls of The Hynes Convention Center, where we again came away with more from the MIT Sloan Sports Business Conference than what we gave. Some key takeaways from the rooms and the halls not just from the weekend, but for what to watch going forward. You …

Before heading off this weekend I got to unpack…literally…from all the learnings at Super Bowl in New Orleans. We did 22 podcasts, helped facilitate close to 70 interviews, staged and helped coordinate a press event talking about the future of engagement with EA Sports, the NFL, NBC, the Rams and Genius Sports (nice summary here) …
