Lauren Teague created an idea called "Second Fan Fashion"
Hi!
I’m starting today with a poll!
What is the part of ‘Fans For Life’ that is most important to you right now?
Thanks for the nice messages and shares around the Live Nation roundup.
There will be more as the case moves forward.
You find the newsletter valuable, do me a favor and share it with your colleagues, friends, or someone that you think would benefit from things like the Live Nation roundup or today’s podcast with Lauren Teague.
My guest on the podcast is Lauren Teague.
Lauren is an OG friend of ‘The Business of Fun’ and I wanted to have her back to talk about FanWgn.
FanWgn is the home of ‘Second Fan Fashion’ and a way to marry some of Lauren’s diverse interests and experiences such as:
Being a mother of 3 small kids
Sports business
Tech
Sustainability
Fashion
Startups
In today’s conversation, I talk with Lauren about things such as:
The changing nature of fandom.
The entrepreneurial spirit vs. being a solo business owner.
We talk about the trend of “upcycling” sports apparel. You’ll know that from Kristin Juszczyk’s work creating jackets and other fashion during the NFL season.
Lauren is also partnering with Brian Berger to organize the Sports PR Summit in Chicago on June 17th.
You get a full day of learning and a Cub’s game!
Great!
Give this episode a listen.
Some stuff I’ve read over the holiday weekend:
Broadway attendance for the season hits 12.3M: Not pre-COVID numbers, but a lot of tickets sold.
Ace Hardware is beating its big box rivals: Some great lessons on positioning and knowing your audience.
The Black Keys cancel their North American tour dates: Ticket News asks if “Slow Ticketing” is killing ticket sales.
Michelle Kang is building a sports empire: She doesn’t want young women to face the same challenges of participation that she did.
Bill Walton made up a story about him and Chewbacca: This is pretty funny. RIP Bill Walton!
Derek Thompson looks at the numbers behind the new NBA media deals: It is interesting to look at the numbers dropping while the money to win the rights goes up. Remember, I talked about declining industries and how the prices can still go up a few weeks ago. Keep that idea in mind.
