ICYMI: Finding new audiences around the world is opening up enormous opportunities for global sport as local media rights plateau... 👇🏽🤟🏼

@LewisWiltshire Sorry for your loss 🙏🙏🙏🙏😂

@SahilBloom Fantastic - how much if it have you delivered on?

On January 1, 2014, I wrote a letter to my future self just before graduating. Today, 10 years later, I opened it. This hit me hard. Everyone should do this.

@fabs_ws Send please

@LewisWiltshire @nflukhank @IMG Great one guys. You better deliver!

@Jason Extraordinary

Calling for genocide… is not bullying or harassment!?! 🤦 If you want to run a simple intellectually test, and hey I didn’t go to Harvard, just replace “Jews” in this question with any other ethic or religious groups. Fire these fools immediately.

@SahilBloom I’m in for one. I’ll be coming from Singapore with an Asia perspective 🔥🔥🙏

I just co-hosted a retreat with a group of multimillionaire entrepreneurs in Cabo. 10 learnings (that everyone should hear):

After meeting @AGraylin over 15 years ago he has not stopped building, shaping and now planning for what is next. This will be a great read 🔥🔥🔥👌

@WillSchofield Sorry to hear mate. May he rest in peace. Legends never die 💪

Last night we lost my big brother Jase. I’ve always viewed media me and my private life as very seperate things. I wanted to share this with a wider audience though as my brother Jase has been the biggest influence on my life and I’m very proud to be his brother.

@MengTo DM me and we can meet up

@ACMailman let's definitely meet up and share our experiences.

We just moved to Singapore. It’s a dream to live here. ⁃ 26-31º all year ⁃ Super safe & clean ⁃ Great education & services ⁃ Started a company w/ Sleek ⁃ Sponsored my own visa Rent is expensive (5k), but everything else is affordable, esp taxi and food. Canada has been my home most of my life. It’s generous in space, friendly and peaceful. But my dream was to work in the US. I did for a year, until they kicked me out. Defeated, I went on to travel for 2 years. We fell in love with Singapore and Japan. Didn’t think it was possible to live there because of visas. Then I started @designcodeio and became financially independent. To be near family, we settled back in Canada. We had 2 kids and bought a big house. Life was good. But we only felt alive in the summer, and we always wanted to travel. We just love Asian food and we keep referencing Japan for everything: sushi, ramen, tea, wagyu (told my kids it’s called melt-in-your-mouth), perfect strawberries, muscat grapes, etc. After our Japan/SG trip last winter, it was clear that we wanted to move there permanently. I started to look at Vancouver, Japan or SG to be closer to Asia. After a failed visa attempt and a few tweets, people suggested starting a company and sponsoring my own visa via Sleek. I had no idea such a service existed. Fast forward a couple of months, we were approved and ready to move! The kids are having a blast at the kids parks, shopping malls and swimming pools. So much to explore. It’s still honeymoon phase, but we’re going out almost every day and love that it’s full of Japanese restaurants and groceries (Don Don Donki). Lots of spicy food here, so the kids always prefer Japanese food or fast food. We avoid the latter. As someone who cooks, I appreciate the high-quality ingredients. We plan to visit Japan multiple times a year during the spring break (cherry blossom, they have 2-3 weeks here!), long summer, fall break (yep!) and winter. Of course, we’ll visit other places too, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and Europe. Most importantly, we won’t need to hibernate anymore. Moral of the story: don’t go to Japan. It’ll spoil you.

@RobertMSterling Send please!

Friend is considering buying a condo. He reached out over the weekend and asked if I could put together a quick spreadsheet comparing the cost of renting to the 5-year IRR of buying. Would this be helpful to anyone? If so, I'll clean it up tonight and share it tomorrow. 🚀

@SahilBloom 💯

What I used to consider a flex: • Flashy car • Expensive watch • $200 bottle of wine What I now consider a flex: • Being able to take my son swimming at 1pm on a Wednesday Freedom > Everything

@SahilBloom @StephenRCovey Much better format all in one tweet 🔥🔥👍

How to get the important stuff done. The Eisenhower Matrix: Dwight Eisenhower was known for his prolific productivity. His secret? "What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important." The Eisenhower Matrix is a 2x2 popularized by @StephenRCovey in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Here's how it works: The matrix forces you to differentiate between the urgent and the important to prioritize your time accordingly. An URGENT task is one that requires immediate attention to complete. An IMPORTANT task is one that contributes to your long-term mission or goals. The four quadrants of the 2x2 grid: • Important & Urgent • Important & Not Urgent • Not Important & Urgent • Not Important & Not Urgent Let's walk through each: Important & Urgent They require immediate, focused attention—but also contribute to your long-term mission or goals. These are "Do Now!" tasks. Manage these tasks. Important & Not Urgent These tasks are your compounders—they build long-term value in your life. These are "Decide" tasks. Spend more time on these tasks—plan the time to do deep work here. This is where you should try to spend most of your time and energy. Not Important & Urgent These tasks are the "beware" category—they can drain time and energy without contributing to your long-term goals. These are "Delegate" tasks. Spend less time here and try to delegate over time to people for whom the tasks will be important. Not Important & Not Urgent These are the time wasting tasks and activities that drain your energy and sap your productivity. These are "Delete" tasks. Spend less time here. Putting It All Together Use the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize your current tasks. The Goal: Spend more time on the important tasks that contribute to your long-term values and goals. In simple terms: • Manage top-right • Spend more time in top-left • Waste less time in the bottom half The Eisenhower Matrix is my favorite productivity tool—I use it every single day. Follow me @SahilBloom for more writing like this.

@SportsProNick Beware the law of hype.

Raised $44m, grabbed the industry's attention and excitement through great marketing and the focus on solving a real industry problem. But as we've seen all too often, when investment is not aligned with realistic market opportunity, it ends only 1 way. sportspromedia.com/news/mobile-sp…

@polina_marinova A comedian and an author! Who knew!?

When you see your book on shelves for the first time 😭🤯

@steftsitsipas Great one - you’re a class act 🔥🙏

The goal is not to be happy every day, but to be at peace with your emotions. I know everyday won't be a good day, but I no longer want my bad days to ruin me.

@Zonozi @Zoomph Great win. Celebrate it and then continue to drive forward with incredible virtue. We should do a deal with KAWO

Those of you that know me also know I have no trouble when it comes to talking about @Zoomph and what we have built - the running joke is that you would have to taser me to stop at times. ....but this moment is different. It is tough to express in words how much this means to me and our fantastic team. The amount of failure and obstacles we have to preserve through to work with the unbelievable names that we do - trust me, if we didn't have NDAs with some of these, you would genuinely mind blown by the iconic brands and teams that put their faith in us to be the unbias source of truth of the value brand achieve through sports and entertainment today. Thank you to our amazing clients who continually help us build in the name of greatness with every challenge you present. Too many people to name, but we have to start with our cofounders - thank you to @amanouch110, who continuously bet on us and saw what this team could achieve. Thank you to @CroninTilt ; there isn't an obstacle that you can't figure out a way around. Thank you to Thomas, James, John, Mike, Andy, Geoff, Leo, Robert, Niky, Clare, Amanda, Vicky, Ubayeed, Sri, Luke, Nicholai, Abby, Lindsey, Rohan, Garrett, Hunter, Megan, Cort, and Sari-Jane & Josh. We would not be here without you; every win is a team win. It is truly unfair to group all of you together as the impact from each of you is massive and unique - thank you! To the team members who were here before this moment, we are only here because of your contributions. Thank you to our notable investors who have been with us from the very beginning that knew that this team had something special, and to our new investors - unreal what Jurassic Capital brings to the table with Joe, Kevin, Chrissy, and the team (this is what MJ must have felt like when Nike signed him :)) and couldn't be more excited to be with Lalotte Ventures with Mitch, Dylan, Bonnie & Shane. To our fantastic board members Dennis, Alysse, Al & Robert - thank you for guiding us in our darkest times and showing the team who takes the stairs where the elevators are. Thank you to all of you who continually cheer us on and think of us for the most demanding challenges brands face in understanding their impact across sports and entertainment. And most importantly, everyone that said, "No" - thank you for giving us the fire to come back and prove we were the team to solve your challenges. We are the team that runs to obstacles and runs to the fire, knowing that it will chisel us to become our best selves. I respect every player in this space, this mission is not for the lighthearted, but there are players in this space that disguise themselves as technology, or that try to leverage their past relationships to justify themselves to others - we believe we are approaching these challenges uniquely and are now equipped to take this industry to a new level. Bring on the bigger and badder challenges; this team is fuelled by it. LFG!!! 🔥

@andrearadri Nice one. Tough Game. Good luck coming back stronger 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👍🔥
