Tallied up all the stats and understand up front we don’t take a dime from this, as a matter of fact I personally lose money with Zoom, Adobe, sports apparel and travel 😂 It’s all about sharing their stories and growing their sports, helping them build their brand and land NIL deals and sponsorships.

Had a talk with Jeana Gist Wallace last night as we talked about how some people only listen to their team which is great, but if you love sports and hearing stories of adversity, or even helping the younger generation on how to learn from these athletes on how they got to where they are etc… everyone’s story is worth listening to. I know that’s why Amy Tlcvipcom Robinson has been all in.

Sports - 15 we have even done tennis and field hockey!!!
Schools - 41 schools (can’t even get them all in the graphic)
Guests - 189 athletes, parents, writers, celebs, and analysts
31 NIL deals helped setup and going
Sharing is appreciated to help them for all those reasons.
