52 Weeks of Hustle

🎙️ New Episode Alert — “What Disney Understands About Fans That Sports Teams Still Don’t” This week on the 52 Weeks of Hustle Podcast, I'm taking a different approach. After taking my wife and daughter, Scout, on a Disney Cruise, I came home with something unexpected—not souvenirs, but pages of notes. Everywhere I looked, I saw ideas that sports teams, arenas, and live entertainment venues could implement immediately to create better fan experiences. Disney isn't just delivering vacations—they're engineering memories. And I believe that's exactly what our industry should be doing. 🎢 3 Hustle Hot Topics from this episode: 🎢 Why the fan experience should begin long before game day 🎢 How small moments of personalization create lifelong loyalty 🎢 Why the best organizations design memories—not just transactions One of the biggest takeaways from this episode: People don't remember the final score five years later. They remember who they were with, how they felt, and the moments that surprised them. Disney understands that. It's time for sports to catch up. Whether you work in ticket sales, marketing, sponsorship, premium hospitality, game operations, or fan experience, this episode is packed with practical ideas that can be implemented immediately. Sometimes the best innovations don't come from inside our industry—they come from looking outside of it. Excited to continue Season 7 by sharing real-world lessons that can help elevate the future of sports and live entertainment. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
