The Pesci brothers talk with Jesse Cole, founder of Fans First Entertainment and owner of two multimillion-dollar summer league baseball teams, the Gastonia Grizzlies, and the Savannah Bananas.  Listen in as Jesse talks about standing out and how he and his wife Emily, went from sleeping on an air mattress, to selling out all their team's games. They did this by creating a fan experience like no other.  Jesse was wearing his yellow tuxedo for the interview and talking with him was a blast!  Then, March Madness, Baseball and missiles landing near the Formula 1 Race in Saudi Arabia.

The 2021 Ballpark Digest Awards season continues with a chat with the Savannah Bananas' Jesse Cole, winner of an Editor's Choice Award, who is single-handedly working to bring fun and a new spirit back into the increasingly staid world of baseball.Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and Kevin Reichard discuss the 2021 season with the ever-energetic Cole, the Man in the Yellow Tux. In a year when the baseball world is struggling to attract younger fans and shorten games, the Savannah Bananas struck a nerve with those younger fans. Attracting capacity crowds to Savannah's Grayson Stadium and embarking on a sold-out One City World Tour, Cole and his team upend all the rules of baseball a la the Harlem Globetrotters, attracting new fans to the sport thanks to plenty of national coverage from the likes of ESPN, Boston Globe and USA Today. That success has led to an Editor's Choice Award in the 2021 Ballpark Digest AwardsSome highlights of the discussion:·      Cole and his wife Emily launched the Bananas in 2016, coming to Georgia after running the Gastonia Grizzlies, formerly in the Coastal Plain League. The emphasis, they decided, would be on plenty of entertainment in the stands, with all-inclusive food and drink. After a slow start—two ticket sales in the first three months—the pair decided to go all-in on the entertainment side, a bet that paid off in a big way with sellout crowds, attracting fans from every state in the union. That led to Banana Ball, unique variations on the rules of baseball.·      Flush with that success at home, the Bananas took their show on the road for the One City World Tour, resulting in two sold-out games at Hank Aaron Stadium in Mobile, Ala. That success is leading to a longer World Tour in March 2022, featuring stops at spring-training, MiLB and MLB Partner League ballparks. The pro team hits the road and plays Banana Ball (which Jesse explains); the summer-collegiate team plays by normal baseball rules and snared a 2021 Coastal Plain League championship.·      Though the Bananas received plenty of mainstream media coverage, the key to the team's success means reaching fans where they are—and that means social media like TikTok, where the Bananas have 912,000 followers. What they get isn't a traditional social-media menu of game highlights and game-winning hits, but rather game highlights like infield karaoke, batters competing on stilts, and batters introducing themselves when coming up to bat. Yes, it's silly and more than a little absurdist, but it's entertaining as all heck. Anyone who hates batflips will be flummoxed; anyone who loves some flash in their baseball game will be entranced. Jesse Goldberg-Strassler is Voice of the Lansing Lugnuts and author of The Baseball Thesaurus and the upcoming second edition of The Football Thesaurus, both from August Publications. Kevin Reichard is editor of Ballpark Digest and founder/publisher at August Publications.

Welcome to episode 9 of Future Driven! This week, Adam spoke with Jesse Cole, founder of the Savannah Bananas. Jesse and the Bananas have reimagined baseball, placing entertainment over the sport. Starting as a baseball player himself, Jesse then went on to manage his first team, the Gastonia Grizzlies. Jesse reinvigorated the dying team, focusing on the fans and entertainment over the sport itself. He then took his innovative ideas to a professional team in Savannah, who then became the Savannah Bananas.

Jesse Cole became the General Manager of the Gastonia Grizzlies baseball team and took it from losing $100,000 a year and $268 in the bank account to selling out games. After selling the team he bought the Savannah Bananas baseball team and went on from selling a single ticket in the first 2 months to sell a million tickets. He's turned baseball games into a circus, with grandma beauty pageants, choreographed dance routines by players, male cheerleading squads, and many more crazy, awesome ideas. In the process, he's made his company, Fans First Entertainment, one of the fastest-growing companies in America and has transformed many lives along the way. Here's his story, and how he did it.

Today we’re talking with Jesse about his transition from sleeping on an air mattress and selling only two tickets when first starting his own baseball team to gaining almost 30K followers on Instagram. Jesse is a graduate of Wofford College. After leaving school Jesse became General Manager and Managing Partner of the collegiate summer league team, the Gastonia Grizzlies.

He works as the founder of Fans First Entertainment, and he’s also the author of a book, Find Your Yellow Tux. So where in the world did he find a yellow tuxedo? And how is their professional high-fiver doing as a professional air high-fiver now?

Imagine if you could double, triple or even quadruple your word of mouth referrals. What if word about your firm spread so far and wide that people were lining up at your door? And what if you could do that without spending a single dime on advertising or marketing? Now that might sound like a nightmare to you-you're fine where you are, you don't want any more work, and you don't want to make a larger impact. However, since you're listening to this podcast, I'm guessing you're someone who wants to learn and grow - you're always looking for a better way of doing things. That's why I'm excited to tell you about today's guest, who comes from an industry far, far away from architecture and design. I think some of the most powerful business breakthroughs we can have is by looking at other industries to see how and why they are having success, and seeing how we can apply these lessons to the business of architecture and design. Today I bring you a story about baseball. Known as The PT Barnum of Baseball, Jesse Cole is the founder of Fans First Entertainment. Shortly after graduating from college in 2007, Jesse became the General Manager of a Minor-league baseball team, the Gastonia Grizzlies. When Jesse signed on, the Grizzlies had no sponsors, no money, and few fans. Jesse knew he needed to do something different. By the end of the first season, the Grizzlies were playing to sold-out crowds of fans. He miraculously turned around the team. In 2014 Jesse and his wife took on another challenge by opening a new baseball team in Savannah, Georgia, which they named the Savanna Bananas. Getting past the local criticism of the strange name, Jesse knew he was on to something when the team launch day went viral on media around the world. Suddenly, thousands of people wanted a Savannah Bananas hat or T-shirt. Since then, the team plays to sold-out crowds. Jesse sums up his success simply: Be different. He's been featured on MSNBC, ESPN, NPR and other media outlets. He just released a book, "Find Your Yellow Tux," where he promotes his mantra "If it's normal, do the exact opposite”. Jesse has the most compelling message I've heard about creating an amazing experience for your clients, and how this can fuel your business. I hope this interview will inspire you, help you think differently about your practice, and help you create a practice that is more impactful and profitable.

Most entrepreneurs I know enter a business looking to do what someone else does, only do it better. In the end, how much better can you do? 10%? 15%? You don't want to do what everyone else does, you'll just get lost in the crowd. Instead, do the exact opposite. The first trick is to look at what the competition is doing - then see what upsets you about it. Does it take too long to get the product? Is it tough to do? Look at every single negative aspect and find ways to make it better. Second, find a way to for people to experience something for themselves. Don't force an experience on them, just set them up for something and sit back to see if they will engage it. On this episode of The Creative Warriors, we are joined by Jesse Cole.

Baseball Genius Jesse Cole, Shows How He Is Changing Baseball Forever My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is a man who is bold, crazy, inspired, committed and having the time of his life. He is the owner of two baseball teams that are quite frankly doing things a bit differently, and the world is taking note – Big Time He is the founder of Fans First Entertainment, which operates the Gastonia Grizzlies and the Savannah Bananas, and also a keynote speaker, and host of the Business Done Differently Podcast. Which is a boring way of telling you what he does, to be honest. He has taken a countries passion for baseball and turned it on its head, by creating an experience not just about what is happening (or is not happening on the pitch) but what is happening everywhere. He joined the industry in 2008 as General Manager of the Gastonia Grizzlies. It was here that he started providing a circus-like atmosphere at his ballparks. From dancing players, Grandma Beauty Pageants, and Flatulence Fun Nights to porta-john giveaways and garbage can nachos, he has tried it all The “show” worked and the Grizzlies began breaking attendance records annually. In 2014, he bought the Grizzlies and started Fans First Entertainment with his then-fiancé and Grizzlies Director of Fun, Emily. In 2015, the two of them then started a new Coastal Plain League team in Savannah, GA. It was announced on February 25, 2016 that the team would be named the Savannah Bananas. From there, the team quickly became a hit all over the country, in part thanks to coverage from national media outlets, including ESPN, CNN, and Good Morning America. Merchandise sold to all 50 states and 6 countries. In the first year, the team sold out 18 of 25 games and broke the attendance record for both Grayson Stadium and the Coastal Plain League. To top it off, the Bananas won the Coastal Plain League Championship. As he says he “I am just getting started”. His teams are continually reinventing as they look to change the baseball industry and the entertainment experience for fans. So how has he managed to stand firm against a world of conformity and create something new and exciting? And did he ever have the huge doubts that a new way should not be his way in future? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Jesse Cole Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Jesse Cole such as: How he managed to break down not only the barriers around him but also the barriers in his own mind, which allowed him to do the unthinkable What he did to grow his team, and find the right people that bought in his vision of where he wanted to head. Why Jesse can see clearly that although the timing wasnt perfect when he joined the Grizzlies, in fact it was in fact the perfect time. The truth that anyone who starts something can see. and lastly…. Why he connected with Barack Obama and offered an internship at the Baseball ground, much to the amusement of himself and his team.  

Jesse Cole brought a new college summer baseball franchise to Savannah with high hopes. But people stayed away in droves. In a city with a pro ball team for 90-plus years, he had to do something very different—something bananas—to get their attention. Today, as the P.T. Barnum of Baseball, he has been a performer and showman for the past decade. His Fans First Entertainment owns and operates the Gastonia Grizzlies and Savannah Bananas. His teams have welcomed more than a million fans to their ballparks.
