For the Love of Sports with Michael Rasile

Evan Shirreffs of PPL Strategy joins Michael Rasile of For the Love of Sports to discuss the recent disappointments in the crypto space and how they may affect the sports landscape for the positive and negative.

With the recent bankruptcy of FTX, one of the world's largest crypto exchanges, Evan dives into what happened, why it wasn't a 'crypto problem' and more of a people problem, and how we can look for warning signs moving forward. FTX was not the only culprit of recent note, crypto.com and Voyager Digital also recently had some hiccups that can have long last effects on the sports they work with.

We also look at how the blockchain could help improve recent fiascos like Ticketmaster being the worst, and ways that while this is a negative now, it could be a major step forward soon.

Jason Franklin joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss joining the sports industry through the lens of design. From a young age, Jason realized he had a knack for design and this came to fruition when he was 14 speaking with the CEO of Footlocker showing the designs he believed they should be selling in their stores.

Through his tenacity, Jason also decided he wanted to be the ball boy of the Chicago Bulls during Michael's second 3-peat. While there he saw that not only did they have the most talent, but that the Bulls outworked everyone on a nightly basis, something he still uses to this day.

Jason went on to start Sportiqe where he helps brands understand how to connect with their customers through high-quality products and designs. Some clients of theirs include the NBA, Dave Matthews Band, Jeep, The Grand Ole Opry, and more.

Chris Cason joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss how he got into writing about athletes, celebrities, and entertainers.

Chris got his start on the beat for his favorite basketball team, the Chicago Bulls. He hustled his way into the position and did so while working a full-time job and finishing school. Chris was able to see how most beat writers are saying the same things, so he added personality to his writing - his and the athletes.

Over time, he realized his passion sat with stories about athletes rather than a game recap, which led him down the path of content specifically about what the athletes are doing, thinking, and handling themselves.
