Ahmad Nassar joins Bram to discuss the investment arm of the NFLPA as the One Team Collective seeks out and finds new tech start up investments.  Plus, ESPN's Kevin Seifert discusses how mathematicians are trying to solve scheduling quirks so that teams like the Bills don't suffer competitive disadvantages. 

Former National Football League running back Robert Smith joins Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including why he walked away from pro sports in what seemed like the prime of his career. Smith also talks about why players are reluctant to disclose outside interests to their coaches, who often times would prefer to have players myopically focused on football. Also talked about is Smith's venture, The Fan Health Network, which is backed by the NFL Players Association's accelerator, the One Team Collective. Smith also discusses his time at Ohio State, his lack of success against rival Michigan, and the odd touchdown record that he doubts will ever be broken.  Hosts: Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams  Producer: Colin Tipton

NFL Players Inc. President Ahmad Nassar discusses a host of issues related to the business of sports, including how the role of sports unions -- and unions in general -- have changed over the years. He also discusses the business of NFL players, including the NFLPA's Ace Media, which helps members gain access to content opportunities with traditional and non-traditional broadcasters. He also talks about the business implications of players kneeling during the National Anthem, and the growth in the union's One Team Collective, which is akin to a venture fund that uses the players' popularity as capital for investment opportunities.  NFL Inc. is the licensing and marketing arm of the NFL Players Association. Nassar became its president in 2015. He joined NFLPI in 2009, and previously served as its vice president of business affairs and general counsel. Prior to joining the NFLPA Nassar was an attorney with Patton Boggs. 

Kelvin Beachum was born into a blue collar family in Texas. He was a studious undergrad, carrying both a graduate and master’s degree, while setting onfield records at SMU. It didn't stop there, though. Kelvin went on to deliver his collegiate commencement speech, then was drafted to the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL.  Kelvin's been through as many depth chart challenges as injuries, but he kept his head down, and quickly became one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL. Not wasting his stellar academic career, Kelvin is long on LinkedIn -- different than most athlete's choice of platform's on social media. He shares musings on portfolio companies he's been pitched to invest in, and shares his experiences from big tech conferences. Kelvin's a limited partner with Next Play Capital, a member of One Team Collective, and has a running list of charitable endeavors that include Bread for the World, World Vision, Feeding America, and STEM. Hosted by professional athlete and entrepreneur, Paul Rabil, Suiting Up Podcast is a show that explores the psychology, playbook of tools, and strategies of the most influential people in sports, entrepreneurship, and entertainment. 

“Make sure you have the right teammates and trust them to do their job.” In 2009, DeMaurice Smith was unanimously elected as the NFL Players’ Associations Executive Director. Since then, he’s structured a new league CBA, created a $160M annual marketing division, co-founded ACE Media, and engineered the first athlete-driven accelerator, One Team Collective. Smith is empowering the modern day athlete and entrepreneur through education, new platforms, and better working conditions. Throughout our conversation, Smith dives deep into the transactional trenches of negotiations with Roger Goodell, but it’s his advice on mentorship and transformational teaching that’s most impressive. Welcome to Suiting Up, where professional lacrosse player, operator and investor, Paul Rabil, talks to influencers within the world of sports to examine the modern duality of a professional athlete.

This week Andrew speaks with Ahmad Nassar, the President of NFL Players Inc (the for profit division of the NFLPA that handles licensing, sponsorships, etc) about their new venture, One Team Collective.

The NFLPA is launching an accelerator program called The One Team Collective that trades NFL player licensing and content rights for equity. On top of that they'll offer up mentorship, funding, and product marketing support to the startups accepted. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about the NFLPA's accelerator program and why they dig the idea. Why does this make sense for the NFLPA? What sort of advantage does this give the startups? Is this accelerator something that other sports leagues or teams can mimic? At the end Brian and Rob give actionable advice on what you can implement into your business from The One Team Collective. - In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.
