Good fun connecting with lots of readers at the most recent Happy Hour for the @SportsPunditHQ Social Club in London 🍻
Almost 100 execs, founders, and investors came by - including representatives from the likes of Man United, Spurs, IMG, LIV Golf, EFG, Amazon, and World Rugby

@RPMComo This is very good podcast with Mohnish Pabrai about value investing
His big recent bet?
Coal 🪨
Because everyone else is overlooking it (or not even allowed to invest in it) and so it’s become underpriced

@RPMComo @bphillpotts @joemarkowski @ElliotR1971 @AndyNic9 @DannyUNIAharlem @DoombergT @TheKingCourt @rhysbeer @mattycutler Arguably you use a similar model yourself with Albachiara?
You give away a ton of value through your content that helps sports execs, but the trade off is that some of them will seek to work with you and/ or do business with those in your network (such as companies you advise)

@RPMComo @bphillpotts @joemarkowski @ElliotR1971 @AndyNic9 @DannyUNIAharlem @DoombergT @TheKingCourt @rhysbeer @mattycutler They don’t need you to come and do a course at MIT, they do need you when advising a company on a new technical hire, to be preferential to the MIT grad over that of any other institution
That’s how they retain their value (despite the spiralling fee)

I’m asking help for me to understand some things about this theme. @SantiagoAuFund @ttmygh @LucaMitchell200
The context of my question is around paying for IP. College education has never been more expensive and one could argue they are offering it to you for free here.
Why?
Bishal Nandi@LearnWithBishal
MIT just made its classes available online for free. Payment is not necessary. The following 10 classes are must-takes in 2024:

@RPMComo @SportByFort @PrimeHydrate @ttmygh It’s not apples and apples
Energy drinks still exist if Prime disappears
Same as sport if a new format falls away
You’d be better off comparing FMCG and sport and looking at the impact creators are having on sales/ interest
Hype isn’t bad or have to be smash and grab
English

@AndyMarstonSP @SportByFort @PrimeHydrate @ttmygh It this is grants point.
Prime was smash and grab big money. Traditional people will say they devalued the sport of Kings. Look how John fury is demeaning everything once he got a taste.
Prime can come and go. Sport can’t.
English

“The meteoric rise and stunning fall of Prime”.
Good luck to all the teams that signed deals with @PrimeHydrate. I bet they will soon be looking for a replacement beverage.

@SportByFort @RPMComo @PrimeHydrate @ttmygh $1.2bn in only its second year is quite a big blip
Arguably Prime is a sub-brand. The brand is KSI and Logan Paul. They can create other sub brands/ products that fit their audience, too. Each time tapping into a different trend or ‘hype’
English

@AndyMarstonSP @RPMComo @PrimeHydrate @ttmygh Good brands are the ones that endure the test of time. Everything else is a blip in consumption.
English

@RPMComo @SportByFort @PrimeHydrate @ttmygh Good question. I think I agree with Zoe for the most part
Were people buying because they loved the product or loved the creator?
Staying power requires the first (and ideally both) whereas they seemingly only have the latter
Still doesn’t have to be considered an ‘L’
English

@SportByFort @PrimeHydrate @ttmygh always say about new baubles
“Yes but for how long”
@AndyMarstonSP give me your view on Prime. We all celebrated it on the way up.
English

@LonaPJ The incentives are all wrong, too. Bumble doesn’t want to lose you as a customer so it has no interest in finding you the perfect match. It’s ideal scenario is to gamify it so that you continually go on first dates over and over
English

I don’t even trust my own date selection decisions never mind my AI one.
Tsarathustra@tsarnick
Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd says the future of dating is having your AI date other people's AI and recommend the best matches for you to meet
English

@RPMComo I’m curious how they ‘fix’ this.
For all the shit that “web 3” gets (a lot of it deserved with meme coins and NFTs), having a way to authenticate a video’s authenticity feels like something where blockchain could have a truly significant impact
English

@AndyMarstonSP Shame. We will soon be unable to believe anything. Have you seen those Le Bron videos? So so real.
English

@RPMComo The when it comes to VAR, the marginal offsides are so painful. Such a risk to the football ‘product’ all round
English

@AndyMarstonSP They have been castrated. Neutered of any authority.
They are scared and tentative.

Extraordinary night watching my first El Classico. No question who the biggest star in town is. Incredible game. Stadium experience so good. 🙌@BellinghamJude @adidasfootball

@zoescaman I read this as Oreos instead of Orzo which makes for a very different outcome…

@RPMComo @Como_1907 @Raffadaisy @LucaMitchell200 @ElliotR1971 @ttmygh @codney67 @UnffclPrtnr Would love to see that happen 🙌

This is a stunning article James. My sincere compliments.
The town is very excited and you’ve explained it very well.
My “one last job” dream would be this one. @Como_1907 is SerieA.
