Shownotes

With the Supreme Court unanimously ruling that the NCAA cannot restrict education-related benefits for student-athletes in 2021, student-athletes can now profit from NIL deals, which created opportunities for companies to stake a claim in this new marketplace. Today’s guest on the WorkInSports Podcast, Hall of GOATS CEO Greig Carlson, runs one such company. A former NCAA wide receiver who won two national championships at the University of Southern California, Carlson experienced firsthand how student-athletes lacked a seat at the table on the topic of the boom of college athletics revenue. He joins VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp to discuss:

• How his student-athlete experience before the NIL era led to him helping student-athletes monetize themselves

• How Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) play into Hall of GOATS’s business model

• How having investors such as former Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart helped his company spread its message

• What opportunities are available in this growing space in the sports industry

• What he looks for when hiring staff at Hall of GOATS
