🚀 I can't get this podcast out of my head! 🚀 In an interview with Chloe Dalton OAM on the [female] athlete project podcast, futurist Reanna Browne blew my mind with this one simple idea: 💬 “When you change how you think about the future, you change how you act in the present.” This insight has huge implications for the future of professional women’s sports. We’ve seen incredible changes this year with the success of the PWHL, Project 8 Sports Inc., the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) expansion to Toronto, and the "IT'S TIME" report from Canadian Women & Sport | Femmes et sport au Canada.  But it’s not enough to just make change today. If we want a future that’s radically different from the present, we also have to be intentional in the way we THINK about the future. We have to challenge our assumptions and biases about what the future is and how it happens. And expand our imagination about what’s possible. 💬 “We shape our images of the future of the game or women’s sport, and then they shape us in the present. What are the possibilities that we’re not seeing?” In the podcast, Browne reminds us that the future hasn’t happened yet – we have the power to shape it. Let's push the edges and support each other to act differently. The time for change is now. 🌟 #FutureOfSport #WomensSport #InnovationInSport #FutureOfHockey #Leadership #SportsForChange #Imagination #ITISTIME https://lnkd.in/eVzzzK6r

Ever wondered how a pivot from sports to the entrepreneurial fast lane could lead to a six-figure triumph during a pandemic? Join me as I sit down with Chris Anderson, the dynamo behind Elevate Media Group, who shares his riveting transformation story on the Catalytic Leadership Podcast. Chris dives into how he embraced video and podcasting to amplify the impact of businesses worldwide, and how his initial tech hesitancy became a powerful tool in his clients' arsenals. We peel back the layers of building trust through digital content, especially as the world of AI and virtual interactivity reshapes our daily lives. Strap in as we navigate the potent world of live streaming, where raw human connection meets the strategic business growth. Chris and I brainstorm the eventual fusion of AI into everyday activities, from shopping to schooling, and share starter tips for live streaming that can catapult your brand from humble beginnings to online stardom. It's all about the authenticity that sets your signal ablaze in the crowded digital noise. We're not just talking tech and trends; at the heart of our discussion lies the golden thread of consistency. By adhering to a regular podcasting schedule, we underscore how pivotal this discipline is for audience retention and content expansion. We explore monetizing podcasts without sacrificing guest value and dive into the personal growth that comes from absorbing the insights of thought leaders. https://lnkd.in/eG_Y27E3

"When we see organizations like that that have been incredibly successful, it generally comes from having a really strong mission and vision like real clarity. Everybody in the organization knows exactly what you're trying to do, knows exactly how you're trying to do. That's one piece, but that's easy and it feels a little bit airy fairy, right? I think what we see with the excellent organization is not just does everybody know where they're going and what that looks like, they actually know their role within that, that role clarity of like, 'OK, this is my job and this is how my job actually accumulates into something bigger.' That's the difference we see in world class organizations that know how to bring that to the fore."

I'm really passionate about sharing what we've learned from working in gaming marketing and how that can apply to other brand playgrounds. I'm experimenting with NotebookLM to turn one of our article into a podcast episode on how Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) can elevate your marketing strategy. Let me know what you think of the format! (the "disfluency" touches that give it a raw, human feeling with pauses and filler words, are quite incredible...).   A key takeaway I'm happy to discuss, human to human: ARGs not only foster viral curiosity but also build lasting emotional connections and provide valuable insights into audience behaviour. How could your brand foster curiosity and a sense of adventure? Follow HAUS OF PARK for more exciting thought leadership on brand innovation!   #Marketing #ARG #Podcast #NotebookLM

The last few months have been transformative. While I've been away from LinkedIn, I've been developing groundbreaking sales and marketing material for HyperSpeed Performance Technologies. Coaches and managers often struggle to balance data-driven insights with hands-on experience. This gap can lead to missed opportunities and suboptimal performance. Our solution bridges this gap seamlessly, integrating advanced analytics with practical sports knowledge to enhance both player performance and strategic decision-making. In my recent podcast appearances, like on the Third & 10 podcast, I discuss how football became a passing game, referencing the "Moneyball" analytics model used by the Oakland A’s. I explain how becoming an analytics-driven franchise requires total buy-in from all departments, including players. These insights aren't just theoretical—they're actionable steps that any team can take to elevate their game. I'm excited to share a clip from my interview and, above all, to unveil our product soon. Stay tuned for more updates as we ensure equal opportunities and provide transparency about the needs and focal points of sports teams based on their athletes. #SportsAnalytics #Sportstech #SportsBiz #DataAndTechnology #Podcast #Coach

One of the things that frustrates my football-supporting friends is the almost total focus by clubs on the engagement of fans who don’t actually attend matches and the apparent lack of interest in those who do. While that’s no surprise to me, it does - yet again - highlight how poorly football clubs (& federations) are designed when it comes to making attending fans feel valued. There’ll always be a Commercial Director & a Chief Operating Officer. There’ll always are often Marketing Directors and sometimes Communications Directors. But you’ll rarely see a Director of Fan Engagement or Fan Services or Fan Experience. (More than one occupant of a Head of Supporter Services / Experience has commented on that to me). This gives the impression that fans are never more than the second most important thing to a football organisation. That is one of the biggest differences between non-sports businesses and football. Every customer-facing business puts the customer at the heart of the business & designs its organisational activities to ensure customers are emotionally-invested & valued. And that underlines why so many loyal attending football fans feel second best. That’s just the way the industry is designed. On our podcast The Fan Experience EXPERIENCE, we speak to those who are trying to do things differently. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eGW9AivW Or on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
