Behind every highlight reel is a messy maze of contacts, gatekeepers, and missed opportunities—until someone maps it. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Ryan Rottman, actor-turned-founder who conceived an “IMDb for athletes,” and Sean O'Brien, CEO and former CMO who scaled Modloft from ~$25M to nearly $100M and helped Kevin Costner's Autio build engineering in-house. Backed by marquee investors (including super-agent Scott Boras) and a recent CNBC debut, AthleteAgent.com centralizes accurate, validated contacts for athletes and agents across growing pro leagues. Ryan and Sean share how they're boosting deal flow for the 99% of athletes, tightening product focus, and building trust in an industry famous for being fragmented and insular.   Key Takeaways: → How a dinner with Aaron Rodgers sparked the idea for an “IMDb for athletes” → Why athlete representation and endorsement deals are so fragmented—and how they're solving it → The surprising industries subscribing to AthleteAgent (from Coca-Cola to financial advisors) → How AthleteAgent is bringing transparency, trust, and deal flow to athletes and agents → Why sports representation and endorsements are so fragmented—and how a centralized “pro LinkedIn” changes the game   Ryan Rottman is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of AthleteAgent.com, a groundbreaking sports tech platform. In his role, Ryan oversees business operations, strategic partnerships, and platform development, helping expand the site's reach across professional leagues and enhance its database of verified athlete and team contacts.

His background in production and storytelling has been instrumental in shaping AthleteAgent.com's user experience and brand identity. Ryan combines business acumen with creative vision, bringing a unique edge to the intersection of sports, media, and tech. Sean O'Brien is a seasoned entrepreneur and executive with a track record of scaling successful ventures across multiple industries. In his early 20s, Sean co-founded a patented eCommerce company that achieved $10M in sales and was acquired after being featured as a “Product of the Year” on The View. He went on to launch The DivotCard, a Groupon-like platform for golf, which earned recognition in Inc.. By the age of 30, both startups had exits. Sean later served as CMO/CTO at Modloft, a luxury D2C furniture brand, helping scale it to nearly $100M in revenue and earning accolades from Forbes, CNN, and Architectural Digest. He also played a key role at Autio, a startup backed by Kevin Costner and other investors, which turned down a $1M offer on Shark Tank. Currently, Sean is the CEO of AthleteAgent.com and Swingzy, while also being a part-time venture capitalist at NGVP and Hustle Fund.

After indicating that he will opt out, considering the circus Scott Boras will bring and the money he and Alex Bregman will command, its not worth it for the Red Sox to bring him back.

October baseball is delivering everything fans could ask for. Blake Snell's masterpiece — eight innings, one hit, ten strikeouts — set the tone as the Dodgers took control of the NLCS. In the American League, Jorge Polanco and Julio Rodríguez continue to fuel Seattle's push toward the franchise's first World Series appearance. The energy and emotion of October are in full swing. From there, the focus shifts to Detroit, where the Tigers' dream season ended in heartbreak. Fifteen innings in Seattle, eight total runs in five games, and another postseason exit that raised difficult questions about what comes next. In Episode 110 of Tablesetters, Steve and Devin welcome back Jordan Hall, host of Eat 'em Up: A Detroit Tigers Podcast, for an in-depth look at the offseason's defining storyline: Tarik Skubal's future. After a Cy Young caliber season with 195⅓ innings pitched, a 2.21 ERA, 241 strikeouts, and a .677 win rate in his starts, Detroit faces a pivotal decision. Should they extend their ace, explore a trade, or wait and risk free agency in 2026 with Scott Boras leading negotiations? The answer could shape the franchise for years to come. The conversation also examines A.J. Hinch's leadership, Detroit's late season collapse, and the continued growth of Riley Greene and Kevin McGonigle as key pieces in the club's next chapter.

Christian reacts to Craig Breslow's comments from Monday's end of season press conference and was fairly happy with what Breslow said. Specifically on Bregman, his numbers don't support the money he and Scott Boras might want, but the push to resign him should still be there.

The Orioles have a few young players who are represented by Scott Boras and he traditionally doesn't like his clients to sign extensions before hitting free agency. Will that be the case with Gunnar Henderson? Matt Weyrich joined the show to explain what it might take to get Henderson to come to the table now.

Seth and Sean see if anyone can dethrone current champ Hayden Winks in this week's Take-a-Mania, explore a Scott Boras type angle to the Jerry Jones vs David Mulugheta & Micah Parsons drama, dive into what they want to see from the Astros tonight and Texans tomorrow, and see what Reggie and Lopez's question of the day is.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Rob Manfred says that the Pirates will have a fair chance come February. Brown says that a salary cap will not solve everything.
