August was nuts

Here are some highlights of August that have enhanced the Athletes & Assets community:

‍

8 athletes, 3 sports, 7 leagues, 9 topics.

• EJ Jarvis (Florida University Basketball) explained his sneaker resale success.
• Simone Charley (Angel City FC) brainstormed a media startup.
• Brennan Scarlett (NFL Linebacker) showcased his creative agency’s services.
• Ricky Lewis (ex-MLS Defender) demonstrated the key to sales.
• Jake Wood (ex-Wisconsin Football) endorsed philanthropy as a service.
• Jeremy Jones (Professional basketball) shared his investment fund strategy.
• CJ Watson (ex-NBA veteran) chatted about children’s books, angel investing, and running a successful vending machine business.

‍

Yes, only 7 athletes were listed above because in addition to the podcast…

…I co-hosted an sports tech focused event called ArenaX with Founders, Inc. and the Golden State Warriors. One notable part of the event was chatting with NBA all-star turned entrepreneur Baron Davis about his journey in tech. More on this coming soon. During the event, Team Athletes & Assets built a video game at ArenaX called LeagueHim. The game allows you to compete with your friends to mimic your favorite player’s signature move using AI motion tracking technology (full breakdown here). It is pretty close to going to market. Huge thanks to Jeron and Emily for their efforts.

Furthermore, we launched our YouTube channel! Give us a sub there if you can.

We also launched our newsletter (what you are reading currently)! Think Players’ Tribune, but with business focus.

• Timothy Lam: Yes, I went from Olympian to Accountant.
• Trey Phills: From NBA summer league to Techstars Winter ‘23.

Two teasers for September include an memorable episode with Marcellus Wiley, and first Athletes & Assets Vlog created from ArenaX.

I told you this would be a quick read. We are just getting started. The community continues to strengthen :)
