Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#317: Bobby Basham, Inside the Chicago Cubs' Innovation Strategy
Q: How do athletes in the cap table influence decisions, and when is their involvement most valuable?
Athlete involvement credentializes a brand and signals space familiarity, but not all athletes add equal value. Early-stage opportunities matter more when they help shape the product for pro or college needs; once a product gains traction, big-name endorsements become less central to partnership value, though athletes can still provide strategic insight.
#317: Bobby Basham, Inside the Chicago Cubs' Innovation Strategy
Q: What sticks out to you when founders pitch, and where do some fall short that others can learn from?
I'm looking for founders to hit specific boxes that indicate value and potential fit, even if the initial pitch isn't perfect. Humility, a clear path to testability, and a willingness to start with small, low-friction pilots are crucial. Avoiding secretive, black-box propositions helps build trust and increases the chance of collaboration.
#317: Bobby Basham, Inside the Chicago Cubs' Innovation Strategy
Q: Talk to us about the system you've developed for evaluating what technology makes sense for baseball and how you de-risk implementations.
The system starts with understanding the data landscape from traditional sources (like box scores) to tracking technologies, then identifying white space where data is missing. We look for signals that tie to wins and performance, and we prioritize early, practical pilots that can demonstrate tangible ROI before scaling.
#314: Jed Collins - How Athletes Can Build Generational Wealth
Q: How should founders think about working with athletes when aligning on opportunities?
Founders should establish fiduciary standards, clarify how they are compensated, and demonstrate clear services beyond investments to ensure the athlete's interests come first and the collaboration is transparent.
#314: Jed Collins - How Athletes Can Build Generational Wealth
Q: Walk us through this idea of Fourth and Goal and what pushed you to launch it.
The journal-based concept grew from Jed's realization that the language of money needs to be taught early; Fourth and Goal serves as a template for athletes to capture their stories, develop their personal brands, and build wealth by documenting experiences that AI cannot replicate.
