Media has often scared off investors. However, we believe the current landscape is accelerating change and creating some real opportunities for founders and investors. youtube.com/watch?v=2DNLGf… Thanks @cjayfive for the chat with Adam, hope it helps shed some light on the space.

@RPMComo Whos next.....?

All of us have come across people like Liz. In business. In schools. They have some kind of body language that they think portrays gravitas. But it's super clear that they are deeply over-promoted, and they know it. I feel sorry for her. Shes got zero respect.

“who the f*ck just hit my car…it’s a cricket ground…” 🤣

Imma gonna be a bit a little self-serving and repetitive in the next 3-6 months. Why? Over the last 3 month, me and a team of awesome people have been prototyping a mobile app for Australian homes to set, manage, and achieve their energy goals! Retailers agnostic, 100% free

@SiyaKolisi doing more to grow the game of rugby than the entire executive of @WorldRugby combined.

@RPMComo Tell me this level of Aussie coaching wouldn't be welcome...

As long as that list includes no Aussies right? Coz he is the new special one.

Today I’m officially an author😅 I talk about things I’ve never talked about publicly and that scares the bejeebers out of me but I’m proud to finally say there’s a pro female rugby player from New Zealand with a book out✌🏽❤️ #StraightUp #linkinbio

@jaimalik @CountdownVC great news @jaimalik

Gracious in defeat

@dougscott I'm being slightly facetious. I did a university project wth one of the largest LNG companies last year. Despite one of the largest "green" shareholder revolts in Aust Copr history, zero incentives for change. Record profits seem to have calmed everyone down.

@MathewCole But you dont use it......... Infrastructure in place to dig up coal and many people employed in that industry add in gov lobbying. I don't see Oz using solar anytime soon.

Countries will now become focussed on creating their own energy, thus in Europe huge growth in solar, wind and nuclear. US/Oz will just get more stuff out of the ground.

@Biggo_ON Dee's for the flag or Nick for the open? Whats more likely?

Come on Nick! #UsOpen

@MurrayBarnett @Charlie_Boss @RPMComo @YannickRamcke @arena_ant Agree for newer IP owners/creators. V hard for any incumbent sports with massive legacy issues/assets.

@Charlie_Boss @RPMComo @YannickRamcke @MathewCole @arena_ant The content renting business is not a business model I would like to invest in. Own IP, control your future.

Keen to hear the smart kids on the quantum and structure of this deal? @YannickRamcke @MurrayBarnett @Charlie_Boss @MathewCole @arena_ant Is it fair to say the broadcasters are focussing on the very big rights?

@RPMComo @Charlie_Boss @MurrayBarnett @YannickRamcke @arena_ant Depends This length + size of deal minimises the incentives on the individual teams to know their fan, understand fan ARPU, drive diversity of rev etc. Short-term deals would create dif incentive structures that may drive new thinking = nett improvement for rights holders/fans

@Charlie_Boss @MurrayBarnett @YannickRamcke @MathewCole @arena_ant So does this create an inbuilt competitive disadvantage for sports who are legally obliged to do short 3 year deals?

@MurrayBarnett @RPMComo @YannickRamcke @Charlie_Boss @arena_ant And, based on the deal we started to discuss, the rights holders that have the funds to deliver a D2C model don't have the right incentives due to my original point, this deal is a band-aid on key issues.

@RPMComo @YannickRamcke @Charlie_Boss @MathewCole @arena_ant Direct to consumer. Not (at all) easy. Completely different skill/mind set required.

@Charlie_Boss @RPMComo @MurrayBarnett @YannickRamcke @arena_ant Tend to agree with @MurrayBarnett also; great way for the current CEO to exit on a high. @Charlie_Boss Plenty of platform have had a crack at the tier 2,32,4 rights, unless you can get a v low-cost base, struggle and create a lop-sided value creation V Value capture platforms.
