🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 🎙️Kyle Christensen: Chief Revenue/Marketing Officer for Splash Inc. 🎧Listen by clicking below, or use this link to head to your favorite podcast platform: https://lnkd.in/gKk7YMUX There’s been so much change so quickly in sports business that there’s a bunch of stuff that seems normal now that we wouldn’t have even believed possible just 10 years ago. Paying college athletes. Watching games on your phone. Pro teams in Vegas. And there’s online gaming, a market that is currently estimated at about $10B a year, and is projected to grow by 12% annually through the end of this decade. That kind of growth is what puts a gleam in the eye of this episodes guest, Kyle Christensen, the Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer of Splash, Inc. With a rapidly growing user base that recently surpassed 2 million, Splash is turning heads in the online gaming industry with a social approach to their contests. It’s a strategy that falls right in the wheelhouse for Christensen, a veteran of the entertainment and social media industries.  In our conversation, we talk about how his experiences at companies like Warner Brothers, Meta and Netflix prepared him for taking the reins at Splash. We also go into how Splash is differentiating themselves from the industry’s biggest players, what draws him to companies that like to throw bricks through the windows of the status quo, and why maybe breaking down that firewall between personal and business is a good idea. And, if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to incur the wrath of hard core comic book fans, he’ll let you know what that’s like, too. Note: There’s some explicit language in this episode. #gaming #onlinegaming #fantasysports #splashsports #officefootballpool #sportsbiz #sportsbusiness

The Politics of Sports Betting and Leadership Lessons with Mark Zinno Insights on Military Experience and Sports Media In this episode of Make Your Move, we’re featuring Mark Zinno, one of the contributors to The Military Effect by Scott Manthorne. You can find his section of the book in chapter 27, on page 92. My discussion with Mark was thought-provoking as we talked about the intersection of sports betting, leadership, and media. Mark, a media professional with extensive experience in sports media and a background in sports betting, is able to draw on his extensive military background to share his leadership philosophy, which revolves around challenging subordinates to be smarter and better. He stressed the significance of empowering them and giving them authority to effectively carry out their responsibilities. He highlighted the importance of not letting anyone down as the ultimate motivator, drawing from his experiences working with Green Berets. As a versatile media professional, Mark emphasized the importance of thorough preparation and speaking from the heart, especially when delivering emotional and personal messages. Mark also addressed the misconceptions surrounding sports betting, shedding light on its low delinquency rate compared to other vices. He criticized the negative portrayal of gambling in the media, highlighting the industry’s heavy regulation and efficiency in detecting suspicious behavior. Zinno’s perspective provided a nuanced understanding of the politics and perceptions surrounding sports betting. In this episode, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the parallels between the regulated nature of sports betting and the principles of effective leadership, as well as the dedication and preparation required in the world of sports media.
