The Miami Dolphins just had their BIGGEST GROWTH MOMENT of the season. Every game won’t be a blowout. They needed to know they can grind one out against top level competition. They did that and Tua activated that clutch gene to get them in position to win the game. LOVE IT.

Grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such exceptional colleagues like Megan Tao, Maggie Choi, and Ashley Shafer, especially when it is a firm outing to a baseball game.

Confession time: College me totally underestimated the power of professional wrestling. A friend, a true believer, dragged me to Wrestlemania, and let me tell you - it was epic. Soap opera theatrics and acrobatic fighting, what's not to love?
Beyond the entertainment value, it's fascinating to consider the significant economic impact such events have on local communities. A recent report by the St. Pete Catalyst highlighted that January's Royal Rumble event alone injected over $47 million into the St. Petersburg economy. This is a testament to the power of events like this and how they ultimately support small and medium-sized businesses while fostering growth within our local community.
I'm proud to be part of the Tampa Bay business landscape and am continuously impressed by how strategic investments by local groups elevate our area, making it a vibrant hub for both commerce and entertainment.

Rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama could become the first professional basketball player to earn $1 billion on the court.
The 7-foot 4-inch tall French phenom, who turned 20 on Jan. 4, was selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the top pick in the 2023 National Basketball Association draft. The team signed him to a four-year, $55.2 million rookie contract, the largest possible deal under the US league’s current labor agreement.
The pact represents a first step toward what could be a historically lucrative playing career. While several well-known basketball players have become rich with help from endorsement deals and other business ventures, Wembanyama, who grew up in the Paris suburb of Le Chesnay, stands to enter the ranks of the ultra-wealthy purely by lacing up his sneakers and stepping onto the hardwood night in and night out.
Love #Caitlinclark and what she is doing for the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association), as I know my friend Amy Siskind does*
However, #AngelReese is not wrong here regarding the increased interest in the WBNA IMO: https://lnkd.in/eB4TSwZY (start at 7:45 mark)
Rivalries, characters, and controversy creates = #cash. It's not about being fake, but it is about interesting stories, marketing, and narratives.
Some people used to say that the lower money and viewership from the #wnba (vs. #NBA) was possibly due to some bias or something. I can't speak for the audience world-wide, but generally speaking, I doubt it. It's 2024 and called the free market. Now after Clark has become a record-breaker and superstar, you don't hear those arguments that much. Weird huh, lol?
Clark is most analogous to #tigerwoods, being so amazingly good and bringing in millions of new fans to a previously smaller-audience pro sport.
Now, even non-fans know who #Caitlinclark and #Angelreese are, and I would guess more people can name Clark then the starting 5 for say then even the legendary National Basketball Association (NBA) franchises of the Los Angeles Lakers or Boston Celtics. THAT'S why you get a $20M+ deal from Nike!
Major League Baseball (MLB) wasn't doing so hot until the Oakland Athletics#bashbrothers and their cross-town rivalry with the San Francisco Giants and #barrybonds. Some say they "saved" baseball. The PGA needed #tigerwoods IMO. Roger Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Serena Williams made ATP Tour way more interesting. The point is, it's not about sports, per se, it's about the people and athletic greatness.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with #Chaelsonnen and some other Ultimate Fighting Championship pros (later followed up with a video) regarding these principles, before Chael became "The Bad Guy" or the Connor McGregor competed in MMA ;). Not aledging anything, but interesting timing to be sure (check the tape/timing) IMO ;) and I had already successfully launched several "characters" (which takes a balance of unique branding and authenticity (i.e. different "versions" of you)), etc. on YouTube ("The Super Genius," "The Game God," "The Political Expert," "4-Time National Champion," etc.)
I've talked about this on my radio show before and may expound on it further at a later date.
The reality is, it is super competitive in the media/entertainment/social media space and you need to be extraordinary to stand out, Clark is that, but AR def helped add to that storyline and overall fan interest IMO being a rival/foil for Clark.
The fact that AR knows this and leans into it shows her marketing savvy in 2024 IMO, even though Clark is a much better player, but together 1=1=3 or 5 (synergy). Good stuff AR!
This could get interesting, #getyourpopcorn!
*(what's good Amy? You're crushing it as usual, and yes peeps who think differently on politics can be cool, that used to be a thing, crazy I know, lol).
