The Entrepreneur's Studio Reflections: Finding the Gap Others Miss | Shaun White Shaun White reflects on recognizing a broken system in snowboarding—and what it takes to step in, take ownership, and build something better for the next generation. Topics Covered: • How identifying “what's not working” creates opportunity • Why great leaders build for others, not just themselves • The importance of vision, ownership, and long-term thinking What do you do when you've spent your life inside a system that doesn't quite work? For Shaun White, the answer wasn't to accept it—it was to rebuild it. In this Reflections episode of The Entrepreneur's Studio, Shaun shares how years of competing at the highest level gave him a unique perspective on the gaps in professional snowboarding. Disconnected events, inconsistent standards, and a lack of alignment across the sport created an experience that didn't serve athletes as well as it could. Rather than walking away, Shaun chose to step in. Drawing on decades of experience and relationships, he began connecting athletes, coaches, operators, and investors around a shared vision. His goal was simple but ambitious: create a better system—one that prioritizes athletes, delivers world-class experiences, and builds a sustainable future for the sport. At the heart of it is a mindset entrepreneurs know well. Instead of asking, “What is everyone else doing?” Shaun focused on, “What are they not doing?” That question led to the creation of the Snow League—bringing together top talent, premier locations, and a more intentional approach to competition. For Shaun, this next chapter isn't about personal achievement. It's about legacy. It's about creating opportunities for the athletes coming behind him and building something that continues to evolve long after his own career. • Why the biggest opportunities come from noticing what's missing • How to rally people around a vision without forcing it • What it means to build something that outlasts your own success “What are they not doing? What's missing? That's where the opportunity is.” — Shaun White https://www.auris.io/Follow The Entrepreneur's Studio so you never miss an episode:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/Youtube: http://www.youtube.comInstagram: http://www.instagram.comThe Entrepreneur's Studio is sponsored by Auris, helping small and mid-sized businesses simplify payroll and HR with powerful tools and real human support.

Somewhere right now, a kid is kicking a ball in the street while a stadium across the world is holding its breath for a final-second win. We love sports because they create instant shared meaning, but the part most fans never see is the structure that makes those moments travel, repeat, and endure. For World IP Day 2026, we're celebrating “IP and sports” with a playful challenge that lands on a serious point: intellectual property is what helps sport scale.We break down the real sports business engine behind broadcasting rights, sponsorships, merchandising, and the rising value of sports data. Then we put the ideas to the test with “Who Wants To Own The Stadium,” a quick game that connects familiar examples to the core IP tools: patents, trademarks, copyright, licensing, and industrial design. Nike Flyknit shows how a patented invention can become a platform across product lines. The Nike swoosh shows how a trademark becomes trust, culture, and belonging. Madden NFL shows how copyright and licensing can turn a league into interactive entertainment. Air Jordan 1 shows how product design can become a collectible icon and a long-term asset.By the end, we tie everything together into a practical takeaway for founders, creators, lawyers, and curious fans: sports value is built on more than performance, and good IP strategy helps innovation travel, brands grow, and creators get rewarded.

March Madness is back—and the numbers behind it are absolutely insane.

In the second hour of the show the guys start with Threefer Madness, talk Sports Business with Kelly Brothers, and other sports news.

A baseball game is 90 feet between bases and a lifetime of stories in the box score, but the biggest action often happens off the field. We're looking at the invisible game that keeps baseball's culture and business running: intellectual property law. From broadcast rights to team branding, we connect the dots between trademarks, patents, copyright, and licensing, and we show how those tools can protect creativity without locking up the sport itself.We start with sports data and two court decisions that quietly shaped modern fandom. MLB v Motorola draws a hard line between a copyrighted broadcast and the unownable facts of the game, helping make live score apps and real time updates possible. Then CBC v MLBAM tackles fantasy baseball and the right of publicity, explaining why player names and statistics can be used as part of public sports conversation when there's no false endorsement. If you've ever checked a score on your phone or built a fantasy roster, these rulings helped set the rules of the road.From there we zoom out to the products and symbols fans carry everywhere. Trading cards reveal a stack of licensing layers, from player likeness rights to team trademarks to copyrighted photography. The Padres' Swinging Friar shows why mascots and logos are serious trademark assets, while Louisville Slugger highlights how patents reward the small design changes that can matter in performance. We also talk about baseball storytelling through film, including A League of Their Own, and how copyright and licensing can preserve cultural memory. Finally, we bring it into the sports betting era, where “official” data feeds become valuable through contracts and carefully built data systems.If you like sports law, sports business, or the way innovation spreads through culture, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves baseball, and leave a review so more listeners can find Intangibilia.Send us Fan MailCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.The views and opinions expressed (by the host and guest(s)) in this podcast are strictly their own and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the entities with which they may be affiliated.
