1:10
Speaker 2: introduce yourself to the audience.
1:15
Speaker 3: Thanks Scott again, thanks for having us here. I'm Roy Kessel,
1:19
Speaker 3: the founder of the Sports Philanthropy Network and excited to
1:26
Speaker 3: share some of the work that we're doing in communities
1:28
Speaker 3: around the country and early across the globe. So Portsilanthropy
1:33
Speaker 3: Network was really born out of twenty plus years in
1:36
Speaker 3: the sports business world of hearing the stories of athletes
1:40
Speaker 3: and hearing about their passion and desire to give back
1:43
Speaker 3: to the world. One of the things that we noticed
1:47
Speaker 3: was that the athletes really were not given a lot
1:50
Speaker 3: of support or guidance into how they could best create
1:55
Speaker 3: that impact in their community. So that was one of
1:58
Speaker 3: the main things that we wanted to change.
2:03
Speaker 1: So, Roy, what's going on this week?
2:07
Speaker 3: This week? Got you know, we're finishing up our wrap
2:13
Speaker 3: up from Radio Row at the Super Bowl and from
2:16
Speaker 3: an MLB Players Association gala down in Scottsdale. So had
2:22
Speaker 3: great opportunities to do about sixty interviews at the Super
2:27
Speaker 3: Bowl and another ten at the MLB Gala What the
2:31
Speaker 3: Players Trust and hearing just amazing stories from organizations that
2:36
Speaker 3: are doing work across the world and around their communities.
2:39
Speaker 3: And so we look forward to sharing all of those things.
2:43
Speaker 3: And then also coming up this week, part of the
2:47
Speaker 3: University of Wisconsin's Sports Business Club doing a conference up
2:53
Speaker 3: in Madison, Wisconsin, and then doing a training for part
2:59
Speaker 3: of Lee Steinberg Sports Agent Academy on Saturday Beautiful.
3:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lee Steinberg got to know him really well. You
3:06
Speaker 2: and I came in contact with each other a lot.
3:08
Speaker 2: It's great hanging out with you. But Lee Steinberg is
3:11
Speaker 2: definitely a class guy, and I'm hoping to have him
3:14
Speaker 2: on the show at some point down the road. We
3:16
Speaker 2: got to know each other well at Super Bowl fifty nine.
3:19
Speaker 2: So let's talk about sports. Lanthey Network. Colong has been
3:22
Speaker 2: around and tell everyone what you actually do. I know
3:25
Speaker 2: you've touched on a little bit, but now is your
3:29
Speaker 2: opportunity to go out there and get into more details.
3:33
Speaker 1: Sure.
3:35
Speaker 3: So we launched in twenty nineteen, just the week of
3:39
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl in Atlanta, if everybody remembers to have
3:43
Speaker 3: a little bit of a nice storm there. But it
3:46
Speaker 3: was a great opportunity we saw perfect timing. We couldn't
3:51
Speaker 3: have done it any better to plan to launch one
3:53
Speaker 3: year before COVID. But we had a great first year.
3:58
Speaker 3: We hosted our first Sports Philanthropy World Conference only six
4:02
Speaker 3: months after we launched as an organization, and so it
4:06
Speaker 3: really was great to see the audience jump right in
4:10
Speaker 3: and participate. We had one hundred and twenty organizations from
4:13
Speaker 3: around the country come to Chicago for that conference in person.
4:19
Speaker 1: And then.
4:21
Speaker 3: Year two we were getting ready in planning and like
4:24
Speaker 3: everybody else, we ran smack into COVID and so we
4:28
Speaker 3: then took the opportunity to pivot and do virtual conferences
4:32
Speaker 3: the next couple of years. So Sports Hilanthropy World went global.
4:36
Speaker 1: We did.
4:37
Speaker 3: We had thirty five countries represented and what was interesting,
4:41
Speaker 3: aside from all the US organizations, we had inquiries from
4:46
Speaker 3: nonprofits in eighty seven countries around the world that wanted
4:50
Speaker 3: to be part of this network in this community. So
4:54
Speaker 3: there's a great need, a great opportunity to help create impact.
5:00
Speaker 3: So you asked a question of what we do, and
5:02
Speaker 3: that's the prime focus of everything we do is how
5:06
Speaker 3: we can use sports to create social impact in communities
5:10
Speaker 3: around the world. So really looking at how do we
5:13
Speaker 3: change lives and transform communities. Everything that we do is
5:18
Speaker 3: focused on building stronger, healthier, and more inclusive communities. And
5:22
Speaker 3: the way that we do that is really creating partnerships
5:26
Speaker 3: and collaborations with three types of organizations. So number one
5:31
Speaker 3: would be athletes and their foundations. Number two would be communities,
5:36
Speaker 3: sports nonprofits, the local groups in your area that work
5:40
Speaker 3: with kids. Right roll out the soccer, balls, baseballs, basketballs
5:44
Speaker 3: and help give kids an opportunity to play sports. And
5:49
Speaker 3: number three are larger sports organizations, so that would be
5:52
Speaker 3: things like teams, leagues, governing bodies, associations, things of that nature.
5:57
Speaker 3: A lot of the ones that have the bigger clout
6:01
Speaker 3: in terms of financial resources, star power, all of those things.
6:06
Speaker 3: But what we've seen historically is that those groups tend
6:10
Speaker 3: to stay largely in their own silos. They don't end
6:14
Speaker 3: up collaborating, they don't end up working together very much.
6:19
Speaker 3: There's a kind of a competitive mentality where if you
6:24
Speaker 3: are running a nonprofit Scott that the attitude is, well,
6:27
Speaker 3: a dollar for Scott is a dollar less for Roy,
6:30
Speaker 3: and we don't buy into that sentiment. What we look
6:33
Speaker 3: at is Roy and Scott putting our heads together and collaborating.
6:37
Speaker 3: Forget about the dollar. We're going to find one hundred
6:39
Speaker 3: dollars or one hundred thousand dollars or one hundred million dollars,
6:43
Speaker 3: and we're going to be able to draw resources in
6:46
Speaker 3: that can change lives. And so everything that we do
6:51
Speaker 3: focuses on building what we call our pipeline of philanthropy.
6:55
Speaker 3: And the perfect analogy for that is the Internet. Right,
7:01
Speaker 3: we're sitting here on Streamyard. We're talking to each other
7:03
Speaker 3: from a couple thousand miles away. What's interesting is when
7:09
Speaker 3: people first started using the Internet in the early nineties, right,
7:12
Speaker 3: probably nobody was thinking thirty years later, Ryan Scott, are
7:16
Speaker 3: going to be able to sit on and have this
7:18
Speaker 3: talk show through stream Yard or Zoom or whatever platform
7:22
Speaker 3: people want to use. Right, it was send, send an
7:26
Speaker 3: email or or look something up on a website. But
7:30
Speaker 3: there wasn't a lot of engagement or interaction. It's very
7:34
Speaker 3: different now, and that's what we want to build for
7:37
Speaker 3: the sports philanthropy community. We want to make sure that
7:41
Speaker 3: weekend go ahead and that we can build out that
7:45
Speaker 3: that opportunity and create resources that other organizations can leverage.
7:52
Speaker 3: And I'm just going to fix a lighting thing here
7:54
Speaker 3: while you're talking.
7:56
Speaker 1: Well i'm talking, I'm going to ask you so many
7:58
Speaker 1: members you have?
8:00
Speaker 2: Now, I should point out to the audience that we
8:02
Speaker 2: go to South Border through you and page we have
8:05
Speaker 2: Sports Lanthony Network on it. We're proud to be friends
8:08
Speaker 2: with sports Filanthey at work in our biggest contribution that
8:10
Speaker 2: we can and by allowing you to promote your organization
8:14
Speaker 2: through our platform in different ways, whether it's through ret material,
8:17
Speaker 2: but mainly through podcasts and so forth.
8:19
Speaker 1: So back to my question, how many members do you have?
8:23
Speaker 3: So we've got chapters now scott in over twenty markets
8:27
Speaker 3: around the country that have started. We work, as you know,
8:31
Speaker 3: by bringing ambassadors into those chapters so that we have
8:36
Speaker 3: an opportunity to build that up. Our goal at minimum
8:42
Speaker 3: as we build out chapters is to grow every chapter
8:45
Speaker 3: out to one hundred plus members. So if you look
8:49
Speaker 3: at having thirty chapters around the country, ultimately we're going
8:53
Speaker 3: to have over three thousand members and a lot of
8:56
Speaker 3: businesses aligned. We've had a lot of opportunity doing age
9:00
Speaker 3: with people and one of the things that we've got
9:03
Speaker 3: a very favorable response from is from the sports commissions
9:09
Speaker 3: and the convention and visitors bureaus who are really interested
9:13
Speaker 3: in partnering with Sports Philanthropy Network to engage and create
9:18
Speaker 3: philanthropic activations now as they host larger sporting events. So
9:24
Speaker 3: if you think of the youth sports landscape, there were
9:29
Speaker 3: some interesting data that came out today. I'll send you
9:32
Speaker 3: a chart from the Aspen Institute about what the cost
9:35
Speaker 3: is for what the cost is for kids to play
9:40
Speaker 3: sports now you look at the cost of the travel
9:43
Speaker 3: sports things and how these things, how these crises have escalated,
9:48
Speaker 3: and so many families can't can't afford to do that.
9:51
Speaker 3: But when you look at the travel sports ecosystem, right,
9:57
Speaker 3: it's a very financially driven model. The clubs are charging
10:02
Speaker 3: a lot of money for people to play. The parents
10:06
Speaker 3: and families are traveling, they go somewhere for a few
10:09
Speaker 3: days for a tournament. They're staying in hotels, they're eating out,
10:12
Speaker 3: they're doing other forms of recreation. But one of the
10:15
Speaker 3: things that was missing in that environment was how do
10:18
Speaker 3: we create a culture of philanthropy around those sporting events.
10:22
Speaker 3: So if you've got a tournament that's got one hundred
10:25
Speaker 3: teams for soccer, for volleyball, for lacrosse, doesn't matter what
10:29
Speaker 3: sport it is, baseball, softball, right, that means you've got
10:33
Speaker 3: at least a thousand families, a thousand kids, maybe more
10:38
Speaker 3: like fifteen hundred kids plus their families. Right, So you're
10:43
Speaker 3: talking about several thousand people that are going to be
10:47
Speaker 3: in that community. And the goal is how can we
10:51
Speaker 3: build some type of legacy program into the model. And
10:57
Speaker 3: what we've heard from the event organizers is that they
11:01
Speaker 3: don't have the bandwidth to do it. They would love
11:03
Speaker 3: to see it happen, but they don't have the bandwidth,
11:05
Speaker 3: and the communities and the host venues are too busy
11:10
Speaker 3: running the show right, taking care of people, making sure
11:13
Speaker 3: everybody's safe, that you've got police and security, that you've
11:17
Speaker 3: got all the food and beverage handled. So we've created
11:22
Speaker 3: a model called our Philanthropy Overlay that we partner now
11:25
Speaker 3: with communities. We started this last fall and we've got
11:31
Speaker 3: a good start with these communities to build this in
11:36
Speaker 3: to their projects. These tournaments get booked up years in
11:40
Speaker 3: advance so that the planning time horizon goes ways out.
11:45
Speaker 3: So we're trying to get some of them still in
11:48
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five, but we know twenty twenty six
11:51
Speaker 3: will really be an expanded year of implementing those. And
11:54
Speaker 3: it's a perfect fit as you asked for the chapters,
11:58
Speaker 3: because now when there's a tarn them in in South Florida,
12:03
Speaker 3: our chapter down there that you're part of would have
12:06
Speaker 3: an opportunity to go and support the efforts of that
12:09
Speaker 3: philanthropic activation. And there's really three components of that. Number
12:14
Speaker 3: one is how do we create a educational element, right,
12:21
Speaker 3: So how can we teach people what's going on in
12:24
Speaker 3: philanthropy and why it's important. Number two is create an activation.
12:29
Speaker 3: So that activation could be around food insecurity, it could
12:34
Speaker 3: be around the environment, it could be around mental health,
12:37
Speaker 3: any cause that we consider. And then how do we
12:40
Speaker 3: build in some fundraising for a legacy program that would
12:44
Speaker 3: benefit really three core groups. Number one is the local community.
12:48
Speaker 3: Number two is the sport that is the core of
12:53
Speaker 3: that competition, and then Sports Philanthropy network for our ecosystem
12:59
Speaker 3: and our task forces that look at those causes. So
13:03
Speaker 3: our goal is to be able. There's thousands of these
13:06
Speaker 3: things going on every year. Obviously, you know, as we
13:09
Speaker 3: build up, we'd like to take on the challenge to
13:12
Speaker 3: do more and more of these. There's no shortage of need,
13:17
Speaker 3: as you know, but we also believe that there's a
13:20
Speaker 3: lot of money out there that is not being effectively
13:24
Speaker 3: utilized by these organizations.
13:27
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, Roy, you've got some fans in
13:29
Speaker 2: the chat room. Guess what We're gonna put their comments up.
13:31
Speaker 2: Feel free to respond to each and every one of them.
13:34
Speaker 2: Brian Pattis says, that's great information. So there you go.
13:37
Speaker 2: Is there one in South Carolina. Why don't you address
13:39
Speaker 2: that real quick. We're going to continue to go down
13:40
Speaker 2: the line.
13:43
Speaker 3: There's not one in South Carolina yet, but it's one
13:46
Speaker 3: of our markets. Probably the closest one is one that's
13:50
Speaker 3: starting in Charlotte, so I know the south suburbs of
13:54
Speaker 3: Charlotte creep into South Carolina. But our goal is to
13:58
Speaker 3: have one in in most of the major top fifty
14:02
Speaker 3: markets in the United States. And then we're creating a
14:05
Speaker 3: model as well, just on the phone this afternoon with
14:09
Speaker 3: College of Charleston in fact, with creating a program down
14:14
Speaker 3: there at the university. So that may be the first place.
14:18
Speaker 2: Brian, very good, All right, well you know what. Here
14:23
Speaker 2: we go, so let's and let me give you some
14:26
Speaker 2: information about Brian Patnett. Here's a guy that's actually in Greenville,
14:29
Speaker 2: South Carolina and actually follows clumpson football. A lot of
14:32
Speaker 2: people will understand here about Brian. He's going to be
14:35
Speaker 2: on some shows as we get going. I just met
14:37
Speaker 2: him about a week ago. And this guy here is
14:40
Speaker 2: one who might be interested in getting involved with in
14:42
Speaker 2: her network. Let's continue on. So here, d Low is
14:45
Speaker 2: great question. What's Froyd doing in Georgia? Living room. Oh
14:48
Speaker 2: my god, these backgrounds. You talk about George Iiicorn, who
14:51
Speaker 2: will be on tonight on one hundred and eighth. This's is
14:54
Speaker 2: baseball talking appears.
14:55
Speaker 1: On a lot of them.
14:56
Speaker 2: Scott in the gang, Josh you know what my friend,
14:59
Speaker 2: and of course says I alluded to before Joshua, Roy's
15:01
Speaker 2: at George's out with George. Well, you know what, here's
15:04
Speaker 2: the thing. One of these days, Roy, I'm gonna perry
15:06
Speaker 2: out with George Iiicord and you'll get to know him
15:08
Speaker 2: soon enough.
15:09
Speaker 1: I've actually been with like.
15:11
Speaker 3: I definitely want to know him. If his living room
15:13
Speaker 3: looks like this, then that's definitely somebody I need to know.
15:17
Speaker 1: Well, you will mark my word.
15:19
Speaker 2: If I have my way and I am the publisher
15:20
Speaker 2: of the website, then I will definitely go ahead and
15:24
Speaker 2: make sure you connect with him. Katy's going to go
15:26
Speaker 2: to a stration and break in a moment. Roy is
15:28
Speaker 2: George's house. We're in Georgia, Okay, all right? He lows
15:32
Speaker 2: our w media is competing with Prime Time. Not sure
15:36
Speaker 2: who to covered. Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out.
15:38
Speaker 2: The Low's So before I go any further, Roy, I
15:42
Speaker 2: want to talk about the South Florida chapter. I know
15:45
Speaker 2: that I'm a part of that to some extent, and
15:48
Speaker 2: this is a market that I happen to live in.
15:49
Speaker 1: Of course, we put your stuff on there. Tell me
15:51
Speaker 1: how that chapter is progressing well.
15:55
Speaker 3: The chapters grow and evolve, some of them move at
16:00
Speaker 3: different rates. We had a great launch event for the
16:04
Speaker 3: South Florida chapter with our Sports Philanthropy showcase that was
16:07
Speaker 3: up in Boca. It was a great way to bring
16:11
Speaker 3: in a dozen nonprofits from the area. Donnas Haslim's group
16:16
Speaker 3: was there, Major Wright was there. You know, in some
16:19
Speaker 3: terrific organizations. The South Florida market is really such a
16:24
Speaker 3: fertile space for having this kind of programming. Great need. Obviously,
16:31
Speaker 3: the big challenge in South Florida, like in a lot
16:35
Speaker 3: of our markets, is just the geographic dispersion. West Palm
16:39
Speaker 3: doesn't want to be part of Fort Lauderdale, it doesn't
16:41
Speaker 3: want to be part of Miami. So we're trying to
16:44
Speaker 3: get everybody to collaborate. But I think ultimately we're going
16:47
Speaker 3: to end up with three chapters down there that will
16:49
Speaker 3: probably work better when we focus them on the local
16:53
Speaker 3: area because people don't want to drive an hour two
16:57
Speaker 3: hours through traffic to get to with event.
17:01
Speaker 1: No.
17:01
Speaker 2: Of course, in software is a challenging market. I give
17:04
Speaker 2: you a lot of credit. Obviously, my schedule makes it
17:07
Speaker 2: difficult being in prime time to get to events, but
17:10
Speaker 2: I'm sure as we figure this thing out and continue
17:12
Speaker 2: to communicate, we'll definitely do that. For Meanwhile, we're gonna
17:15
Speaker 2: do right now, Roy, We're going to go to a
17:16
Speaker 2: station break and we'll continue the conversation. My name is
17:20

Speaker 3: She's got an amazing story herself which she shares and
19:30
Speaker 3: really can relate well to the individuals and you know
19:34
Speaker 3: that we work with on a regular basis as people
19:37
Speaker 3: that are trying to use sports as a way to
19:41
Speaker 3: give kids an opportunity. She shares her story of how
19:47
Speaker 3: somebody had anonymously paid for her to play in some
19:51
Speaker 3: leagues when she was growing up in wapon Wissconsin and
19:56
Speaker 3: that really changed her world and her PERSPECTI if sports
20:00
Speaker 3: has given her some really unique opportunities, and she talked
20:04
Speaker 3: about the fact that, you know, playing softball, somebody that
20:09
Speaker 3: had taken care of that for her, gave her an
20:11
Speaker 3: opportunity to be out there, be active, get some snacks,
20:16
Speaker 3: make some new friends. And when she went to college,
20:19
Speaker 3: she was the first one in her family to go
20:21
Speaker 3: to college, put herself through Saint Norbert, which is up
20:26
Speaker 3: in Green Bay where the Packers hold training camp. And
20:29
Speaker 3: so she really started her connections into the sports world
20:34
Speaker 3: early because she got to know a lot of the
20:36
Speaker 3: Green Bay Packer players and still maintains amazing relationships with
20:41
Speaker 3: so many of them. When we see them down in
20:43
Speaker 3: Canton and Hall of Fame, Enshrinment weekend, or we see
20:46
Speaker 3: them at super Bowl or at other events like that,
20:50
Speaker 3: they have very close relationships with cale great stuff.
20:55
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing what Caylee you just mentioned. I'm
20:58
Speaker 1: the first one in my family to.
21:00
Speaker 2: Get through college and put myself through college as well,
21:03
Speaker 2: so I can appreciate the grind that Kaylea definitely handing
21:06
Speaker 2: too to get there. And of course I started the
21:08
Speaker 2: business as a teenager. It's good for people to get
21:11
Speaker 2: into business start an early age and then they build
21:13
Speaker 2: upon so more.
21:14
Speaker 1: Power to Calea. Hopefully you'll share the shoulders so she
21:17
Speaker 1: knows that we're thinking about it.
21:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, And just to jump in and follow up on that,
21:21
Speaker 3: I think one of the things that's really interesting is
21:25
Speaker 3: she was very interested in sports and sports media, and
21:29
Speaker 3: she was called into the guidance counselor's office in high
21:31
Speaker 3: school and told that that that's not a good job
21:35
Speaker 3: for a girl, and was encouraged to go a different direction.
21:39
Speaker 3: She was interested in engineering, she was interested in sports media,
21:43
Speaker 3: and she was told that those were not appropriate professions
21:47
Speaker 3: for a girl. And this is not fifty or one
21:51
Speaker 3: hundred years ago. This is, you know, in the eighties
21:54
Speaker 3: that she's been given this information.
21:57
Speaker 1: Well, I'd refute that all the time. More power to her.
21:59
Speaker 2: I'm good friends with Leslie Visser. I recently spent time,
22:04
Speaker 2: obviously at Super Bowl fifty nine with Carissa Thompson. And
22:07
Speaker 2: don't tell me there's a place for women in sports,
22:10
Speaker 2: or if you want any evidence of that, please go
22:12
Speaker 2: ahead and buy my book listens from the microphone, because
22:15
Speaker 2: I talk about women in sports. So I'm glad that
22:18
Speaker 2: Kaylo was able to stay with her passion and got involved.
22:22
Speaker 2: In fact, CHRISA. Thompson I had a good time about it.
22:25
Speaker 2: I've spent time with Andrea Kramer. I think it was
22:29
Speaker 2: over in North Carolina. I'm not going to get into
22:31
Speaker 2: the events, really not relevant. So I've had talked to
22:34
Speaker 2: a lot of influential women. But you can tell you
22:37
Speaker 2: right now when you go in my book, I bring
22:38
Speaker 2: up names like HANNAHS. Storm, I bring up names like
22:41
Speaker 2: Phyllis George. Anybody that's going to make that this distinction,
22:44
Speaker 2: I think they're delusional, you know, leave.
22:47
Speaker 1: It at that. I'm trying to be polite on a
22:49
Speaker 1: family show. More power to Kla.
22:52
Speaker 2: I don't care if you're I think the biggest thing
22:55
Speaker 2: that people have to understand. If you're female and your knowledgeable,
22:58
Speaker 2: and you're presentable and you know your stuff, you'll be fine.
23:01
Speaker 2: If you try to think you're gonna wing it and
23:04
Speaker 2: people can read through that, then that's another situation altogether.
23:08
Speaker 2: But a lot of the individuals that I forementioned definitely
23:11
Speaker 2: know what they have to do to get in front
23:13
Speaker 2: of it. They realize they're setting the example for other
23:16
Speaker 2: females down the road to.
23:17
Speaker 1: Be role models.
23:18
Speaker 2: So more power to her as any other women that
23:21
Speaker 2: are getting involved with sports media. Continue to pursue your dream.
23:25
Speaker 2: And again, we're going to be releasing this really soon.
23:28
Speaker 2: I had a nice interview with CHRISA. Thompson over on
23:31
Speaker 2: Fox and now she's a free agent as well, and
23:35
Speaker 2: we'll be curiously what Chris's next move is.
23:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Scott, you bring up a great point, which
23:41
Speaker 3: is that that level of knowledge. I do think that
23:44
Speaker 3: women are often held to a double standard. There's plenty
23:47
Speaker 3: of guys on sports talk radio or television or other
23:51
Speaker 3: places that are not as knowledgeable as they seem to
23:55
Speaker 3: think that they are. But you know, if a woman
23:59
Speaker 3: approached it the way they actually have to end up
24:01
Speaker 3: being more prepared. And you look at the amazing level
24:06
Speaker 3: of professionalism that you talked about, there's great examples out
24:09
Speaker 3: there of women that have been very successful that have
24:13
Speaker 3: broken the barrier. You know, you can go down the
24:16
Speaker 3: laundry list from Linda Cohen to Tracy Wolfson and on
24:19
Speaker 3: and on. There's so many that have done an incredible
24:22
Speaker 3: job building their careers and really working hard in that space.
24:27
Speaker 3: And like you said, they do have that obstacle to
24:30
Speaker 3: overcome because they are held to a higher standard.
24:36
Speaker 2: Brian has a question that chat room can much put
24:38
Speaker 2: it up there. Roy to work great in the Upstate
24:41
Speaker 2: area ahead, so right to work great in the Upstate
24:46
Speaker 2: area because a lot of kids that would come out
24:49
Speaker 2: to the event and to be a hotbit for it.
24:51
Speaker 2: You understand where it's that coming from to that news
24:54
Speaker 2: for you. Brian is really active in that particular area.
25:00
Speaker 3: Well, Brian, I appreciate your interest and I'll reach out
25:04
Speaker 3: to you and we can set up some time to talk.
25:07
Speaker 3: I think the number one thing that we tell people
25:10
Speaker 3: is if there's a if there's a desire to help,
25:13
Speaker 3: we can really be part of that solution. We can
25:16
Speaker 3: create programs and events that will address that. So it
25:20
Speaker 3: doesn't matter where you're located, it doesn't matter if you
25:24
Speaker 3: have all the contacts or the resources. We're here to
25:27
Speaker 3: be a support and be part of that bringing you
25:30
Speaker 3: into the network because we would love to have you
25:33
Speaker 3: be part of what we're doing and building. So, Brian,
25:36
Speaker 3: I appreciate your interest.
25:38
Speaker 2: Great stuff, Brian, Now you have another contact, Well make
25:40
Speaker 2: sure you go. But more Am and Lawrence comes to
25:43
Speaker 2: mind that used to be on Infinity Sports Network.
25:47
Speaker 1: Does that Nam Ring of Beltia.
25:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm familiar with Amy. Okay, it's not her. I
25:55
Speaker 3: don't know her well, but I have met her.
25:58
Speaker 2: Nolan Roy will get familiar with sooner or later. So
26:00
Speaker 2: let's go to the next thing. You cover big events.
26:03
Speaker 2: I saw you at Super Bowl fifty nine to Orlands.
26:05
Speaker 2: They have a couple of the other big events that.
26:06
Speaker 1: You've gone to.
26:09
Speaker 3: So we typically have a pretty busy schedule throughout the year,
26:14
Speaker 3: so super Bowl obviously being one of the big ones.
26:17
Speaker 3: We often are at All Star games and drafts. March
26:25
Speaker 3: Madness is a big event as well. We've covered conference
26:30
Speaker 3: basketball tournaments and men's and Women's Final Four. There's so
26:35
Speaker 3: many amazing events each year, and there's a lot of
26:40
Speaker 3: conferences and discussions of people that are not high level celebrities,
26:46
Speaker 3: but they involve every group that you can think of.
26:50
Speaker 3: So these are The NIL Summit in Atlanta every year
26:54
Speaker 3: at the College Football Hall of Fame brings together some
26:57
Speaker 3: of the top college influence and NIL athletes, and Kayla
27:02
Speaker 3: has done an amazing job there working with those student
27:06
Speaker 3: athletes and helping train them how they can use their
27:10
Speaker 3: NIL rights for good. Our NIL for Good program focuses
27:15
Speaker 3: exactly on that in terms of teaching the athletes the
27:20
Speaker 3: importance not only of giving back for the sake of
27:24
Speaker 3: living generously and giving back, but more, you know, more
27:28
Speaker 3: directly applicable. It shows them how it has a real
27:31
Speaker 3: world impact on their marketability, because if you're doing something
27:38
Speaker 3: positive in the community, every other brand that is associated
27:41
Speaker 3: with you then also has the opportunity to get the
27:46
Speaker 3: goodwill that's affiliated with the work you're doing for that
27:51
Speaker 3: cause or charity. So that's been a great event. The
27:55
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame ENSHRINMEMAN in Canton every year is a
27:59
Speaker 3: fantastic opportunity to connect with the really the icons of
28:05
Speaker 3: football and learn about what they've done to build up
28:10
Speaker 3: their brand, right, but how they're giving back.
28:15
Speaker 1: Right.
28:15
Speaker 3: Many of these individuals played years ago when the dollars
28:19
Speaker 3: weren't as big, but you still look at them and
28:23
Speaker 3: there's some amazing examples of athletes that are giving back
28:26
Speaker 3: to their communities in so many different ways.
28:29
Speaker 1: God stuff.
28:30
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about you the most notable members in
28:33
Speaker 2: your best aritees. I know you probably have a lot
28:35
Speaker 2: of them, but just give you your top ones.
28:40
Speaker 3: From our interviews and our podcasts. I mean, Lee Steinberg
28:44
Speaker 3: always comes to mind. Lee's become a great friend and supporter,
28:46
Speaker 3: who was the keynote speaker at our Sports Hilanthropy World
28:50
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four conference. We're planning our twenty twenty five
28:55
Speaker 3: conference and we'll share all the information with Scott that
28:59
Speaker 3: he can post. That's going to be June twenty sixth
29:02
Speaker 3: and twenty seventh in Chicago, hosted again by KPMG. They
29:07
Speaker 3: started hosting it for us last year and did in
29:09
Speaker 3: a fantastic job in Chicago. But this year we're lucky
29:13
Speaker 3: to get summer dates, so much better time to come
29:16
Speaker 3: to Chicago. So we'll share that information and would love
29:20
Speaker 3: to have everybody join us. We're going to have programs
29:25
Speaker 3: starting with an opening reception on a Wednesday night, June
29:28
Speaker 3: twenty fifth, and then the conference will go all day
29:31
Speaker 3: on the twenty sixth, another event Thursday night, and then
29:35
Speaker 3: half day on Friday. So Lee was a keynote there.
29:39
Speaker 3: We've been fortunate to have great people. We had Joe Foster,
29:43
Speaker 3: who's one of the founders of Rebok that was on
29:46
Speaker 3: our podcast recently. We had at the Super Bowl. We've
29:51
Speaker 3: had athletes from a lot of different organizations. We had
29:57
Speaker 3: the presidents and executive directors of foundations so Big Brothers,
30:02
Speaker 3: Big Sisters with artist Stevens. We had American Heart Association,
30:09
Speaker 3: you know, We've had American Cancer. We've had all kinds
30:13
Speaker 3: of groups doing work around the country. So we get
30:18
Speaker 3: a lot now with the teams that want to partner
30:21
Speaker 3: with us. But we've also started bringing in larger foundations
30:26
Speaker 3: that are interested in looking at things like preventing gun violence,
30:30
Speaker 3: like increasing vaccination rates and underserved communities, increasing literacy rates,
30:37
Speaker 3: anti drug anti bullying. There's so many opportunities to transform communities,
30:43
Speaker 3: and our job, as we see it, is to bring
30:45
Speaker 3: people together and get that process started great stuff.
30:51
Speaker 2: I like the fact that you're talking about preventing gun violence.
30:53
Speaker 2: We all know I'm not going to get.
30:54
Speaker 1: Into elaborate about that. That's something that has to be done.
30:57
Speaker 2: We've seen too many unfortunate high schools situations that are
31:00
Speaker 2: tragically into the wrong way. I had to deal with
31:03
Speaker 2: one of these now myself. I went to a funeral
31:05
Speaker 2: of a guy named Aaron Iies. I believe his name
31:09
Speaker 2: was or Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, which is heavily from moted.
31:12
Speaker 2: So I I'm glad that you're able to talk about
31:14
Speaker 2: preventing them violence for sure, and that's something that people
31:18
Speaker 2: have to understand. Now, you guys are more than just
31:20
Speaker 2: a sports organization. You stand for a lot of good
31:23
Speaker 2: things and I'm glad you're avreilable to bring that to O.
31:27
Speaker 3: That's an important That's an important point, which is Sports
31:31
Speaker 3: Hilanthropy Network is not about creating better athletes. It's about
31:36
Speaker 3: creating better people and so it's using the power of
31:40
Speaker 3: sports to change lives and transform community. So what we
31:44
Speaker 3: really like the focus on is looking at how can
31:48
Speaker 3: we take the power that sports has and use that
31:52
Speaker 3: for good and that can be in so many different ways,
31:56
Speaker 3: and I tell people there's no exact formula, there's no
32:00
Speaker 3: strict requirements. If you've got a passion for doing something
32:04
Speaker 3: good and you love sports, we'll find a way to
32:07
Speaker 3: partner with you.
32:08
Speaker 1: To do that, all right. So the top of the
32:10
Speaker 1: hours literal and eight such is baseball talk is standing by?
32:13
Speaker 1: Can we talk about Pete rosson right? I'm going to
32:15
Speaker 1: talk also.
32:17
Speaker 2: About Major League Baseball and their separation from ESPN, although
32:20
Speaker 2: you won't want to, as well as a lot of
32:22
Speaker 2: other topics as well. At the top of a couple
32:25
Speaker 2: more things on our address Roy how can people join?
32:28
Speaker 2: Do they do they have to be in sports.
32:30
Speaker 1: Or or.
32:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, there there's no requirement that you work in sports.
32:39
Speaker 3: The only requirement is that you want to be part
32:42
Speaker 3: of our community and give back. Everything is on our
32:44
Speaker 3: website Sports Philanthropy neetwork dot org. You can see the
32:49
Speaker 3: list of upcoming events. You can see the work that
32:52
Speaker 3: we've done in the past, through our podcasts, through our
32:55
Speaker 3: interviews at Radio World at the Super Bowl, our upcoming
32:58
Speaker 3: Sports Philanthropy World Conference, and different events that chapters are hosting.
33:03
Speaker 3: So I encourage you to look there. I'm really easy
33:06
Speaker 3: to reach you can reach me. You'll see me easily
33:09
Speaker 3: on the website. I'm easy to find on social media.
33:11
Speaker 3: Arkessel at sports looop dot com is the email, and
33:16
Speaker 3: I'm easy to find on LinkedIn. My Twitter accountless happed,
33:20
Speaker 3: so hopefully i'll get that back soon. But you can
33:23
Speaker 3: get me on LinkedIn or Facebook or through the website.
33:27
Speaker 1: Beautiful bank.
33:28
Speaker 2: So end and on this belt and we go to
33:30
Speaker 2: a state and break anything that you would like to
33:33
Speaker 2: add that we haven't covered thus far.
33:38
Speaker 3: Well, Scott, I just want to thank you again for
33:40
Speaker 3: giving us the time to speak to people about this.
33:44
Speaker 3: We believe that sports has such an incredible power to
33:47
Speaker 3: transform communities, to change lives. We want to harness that
33:53
Speaker 3: power by working with individuals in every market, in every sport.
33:58
Speaker 3: We've seen things work, not only with the major sports.
34:02
Speaker 3: People think a lot of what we do focuses on
34:05
Speaker 3: football or basketball or hockey, but soccer is enormous and
34:11
Speaker 3: we've had organizations everywhere that are doing work. And that's
34:15
Speaker 3: with figure skating, with beach volleyball, stand up paddle boarding,
34:19
Speaker 3: ultimate frisbee, MMA, so any sport you can think of,
34:22
Speaker 3: there are organizations out there that are doing work in
34:26
Speaker 3: that sport and would be happy to make those connections.
34:29
Speaker 3: That's a lot of what we do, and this is
34:32
Speaker 3: not only a United States phenomenon, even though we're based
34:36
Speaker 3: here and that's where our focus is. We were invited
34:39
Speaker 3: last year to brought us Lava, Slovakia and spoke there
34:44
Speaker 3: on corporate social responsibility and a great desire in that
34:48
Speaker 3: market to make changes and really transform those communities in Europe.
34:54
Speaker 3: So there's a great appetite around the globe and we
34:58
Speaker 3: anticipate having in future your Sports Hilanthropy World conferences in
35:03
Speaker 3: other countries and continents as well.
35:06
Speaker 1: I like about soccer.
35:07
Speaker 2: It's an opportunity for youth people to get to use
35:10
Speaker 2: their legs and develop coordination in an area which is necessary.
35:14
Speaker 2: I'm sure well to get involved with beach volleyball, I've
35:16
Speaker 2: had more medical problems than anybody can mentioned.
35:19
Speaker 1: What was the other sport you also? You haven't taken
35:20
Speaker 1: up pickleball yet?
35:23
Speaker 2: No, but I know one of my good friends have
35:25
Speaker 2: broken a couple of risks doing it. So at this
35:27
Speaker 2: point in my life, I don't think my other half
35:30
Speaker 2: would want me to take that fort up, but you
35:33
Speaker 2: never know, she knows she won't.
35:35
Speaker 1: Let me do it. There's no way that we're going
35:37
Speaker 1: to be able to go out there and definitely do that.
35:40
Speaker 2: So well, what else can I tell you. It's just
35:42
Speaker 2: one of those situations where so you mentioned soccer, beach
35:46
Speaker 2: volleyball was the other one that you mentioned early outside Oh.
35:50
Speaker 3: There's every sport you can every sport you can think of, mma, cricket,
35:54
Speaker 3: stand up paddle boarding, figure skating, skiing, There there's any
36:00
Speaker 3: sport that you're interested in. We know organizations that are
36:03
Speaker 3: doing work in that space. We do a lot of
36:05
Speaker 3: work with military groups. Mental health is one of the
36:09
Speaker 3: top issues we're dealing with right now at every level
36:12
Speaker 3: of sport, from youth sports to high school to college
36:16
Speaker 3: to pro former pro, and we're seeing a lot of
36:20
Speaker 3: burnout right and one of the things that is really
36:23
Speaker 3: important is for kids and families to understand that it's
36:27
Speaker 3: important to keep sports, you know, in that sense, in
36:32
Speaker 3: a balance where your entire identity isn't wrapped up in
36:37
Speaker 3: your success in a given sport. We've seen unfortunate situations
36:42
Speaker 3: with some high profile athletes in college that have committed
36:46
Speaker 3: suicide even when they were the leaders of their college
36:50
Speaker 3: sports teams, because they didn't feel they were achieving the
36:54
Speaker 3: level of success that they had hoped to achieve, and
36:58
Speaker 3: you know that's tragic obviously to make that type of
37:02
Speaker 3: decision in the midst of a short term situation. And
37:08
Speaker 3: so we encourage everybody to reach out for help. We're here.
37:12
Speaker 3: We've got resources, a lot of mental health resources around
37:18
Speaker 3: that we can help connect people to be a support.
37:21
Speaker 3: We've got a resilience program that we've developed with former
37:25
Speaker 3: FBI officers in terms of working with individuals to help
37:30
Speaker 3: go through a training and understand how they can survive
37:36
Speaker 3: the ups and downs of life. Everybody has things going
37:40
Speaker 3: on in their world and their life, and we know
37:44
Speaker 3: that it's no judgment. People have to understand that there
37:48
Speaker 3: are places that they can get support and we want
37:51
Speaker 3: to be part of that solution.
37:53
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you one thing no one is going
37:54
Speaker 1: to get me to do.
37:56
Speaker 2: There's no way I'm going to stem because back in
37:58
