Matt Stolarz joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss his winding career in technology and sports betting. Through college and the early part of his career, Matt was very much a jack of all trades tinkering and learning everything he could about a swath of different verticals. While this helped, he always felt like an imposter when tasked with specific jobs because he was never formally trained in each of these areas. Thankfully, he was able to continue down the path of Software Engineer but because of his wide array of expertise, he could communicate better with each of the teams around him in their language. A translator, if you will. As a huge fan of sports, when PASPA was repealed and William Hill came stateside Matt jumped at the opportunity to work for one of the first online sportsbooks in America. Through his time at William Hill/Caesars, Matt gained further knowledge of the industry and took up the mantle as a leader in the organization. Getting down and dirty with building a sports betting app allowed Matt to take his talents to Prophet Exchange, the first US Sports Betting Exchange, and be the lead mind in creating this product from soup to nuts! Go connect with Matt on LinkedIn, especially if you're trying to break into the industry! https://www.linkedin.com/in/stolarz88/

Ryan Gordon, Founder of Common Enemy joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss his company Common Enemy, and how they've created a performance basketball shoe that gives back. Ryan spent over 20 years in the fashion and shoe industry which allowed him to amass a network of individuals he would call on while starting his company. Once Ryan had the idea to create systematic change through the sport he loved, basketball, he needed a performance shoe that looked great to sell so he and his team could give back. 5% of every purchase supports legislation that improves public health, like Medicare for All and a livable minimum wage.

Stefano Vaccarino, the Chief Marketing Officer of FTN Network, joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss his exciting path into the fantasy and gaming space, and how FTN Network is changing the game! While at a run-of-the-mill day job, Stefano found enjoyment with his NBA Twitter account @bigmoneyplay where he tweeted about NBA DFS. This led him down a wildly different path where he got a product marketing job at an early-stage startup that helped players get more ROI on their DFS lineups. After the startup, unfortunately, went under, an opportunity with FTN Network quickly came about during the very beginning of the pandemic and Stefano took advantage. FTN Network was built on helping players win their fantasy leagues, win more at DFS, and win more bets, but they have recently added another revenue stream in helping B2B clients by providing some of the best NFL data around!

Joe Castignani joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss his D1 Football career at UC Berkeley and how that led to him founding MVMI! Through knowing the right people at Berkeley, Joe realized that his idea for a new type of pillow was not bad. So with that information, he put the idea on the back burner, got a 'real job', and let the regret rule him for about 3 years. After he was furloughed from his 'real job' during COVID, he saw this as an opportunity to bring his idea to light immediately, so MVMI was born. During his time at Berkeley, he took a sleep class and became fascinated with the idea of getting better sleep and how it could be achieved. He also ran into some terrible pillows while at college, getting him to think of an idea that would give him better support and more comfort to get that better sleep he desired. Through multiple iterations and prototypes, Joe has finally been able to achieve a better pillow that brings people more sleep at a higher quality. He's branding MVMI as the Nike of Bedding and looks to help athletes of all sizes achieve better sleep, for better recovery and performance.

Trevor Farnes joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss being the CEO of MNT OPS and how he's created a community around a product that works! MTN OPS is a nutrition, performance, and supplement business that caters to outdoorsmen and women. Trevor had already created great products that improved many aspects of their customers' lives, they just needed a community to get it to.

Anthony Dittmann joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss Omegaball, the sport he created, and how he's helping spread the word! We first chat about his time at ESPN where he helped, and eventually directed, live events. Understanding what people want from an in-person event and how that will look to a TV audience is a balancing act that he's been able to use ever since. We then jump into what Omegaball is, how he came up with it, and what he is doing to get more people to fall in love with his sports! Omegaball is essentially soccer played on a round field that consists of 3 teams, 3 goals, and 1 ball. This allows for different rules, like no offsides, and constant action during the shorter game time. Learn more about OmegaBall below!
