This week on Fridays with Larry, I explore how Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) has changed college athletics and created new opportunities for student-athletes and businesses alike.

My guest is Erik Braden, CEO of Braden Business Systems in Fishers. Erik talks about the company's partnerships with former Purdue basketball star Braden Smith and Indiana University football players Josh Hoover and Khobie Martin. He also explains how those relationships have helped support Gleaners Food Bank and other community initiatives.

I begin the podcast with commentary on the growing impact of NIL on college sports and conclude with a lighter story about Disneyland welcoming its one-billionth guest.
