What does it mean to be the front door to an experience?

In this episode of the Nassau Reimagine Podcast, Laura Dinan Haber sits down with Conor Geary, widely known as GameDayConor—a trusted in-game host for some of New England's most recognizable sports brands. Conor lives at the intersection of personal branding and brand stewardship, balancing visibility with responsibility in front of thousands of fans at a time.

Together, Laura and Conor explore how to stand out in a crowded world—not by being everywhere, but by being intentional, authentic, and trustworthy. From navigating multiple professional identities to showing up confidently in unfamiliar rooms, this conversation offers practical insight for students, entrepreneurs, creators, and corporate professionals alike.

Whether it's tying a kid's shoe, replacing a dropped ice cream, or reading the energy of a stadium in real time, Conor reminds us that details matter, and trust is built long before opportunity appears.
