No matter who you support or what happens in the primaries you have to give it up to my friend @andrewyang. He’s not rich, famous, a politician, an actor, or connected. He may well be the most successful regular guy who’s ever run. A bright 💡 in a 😒 system. 🙌

As a startup, it's actually good if they underestimate you. It gives you time and opportunity.

This is a story about how a 6'1, not overly athletic kid from small town NC became one of the most exciting, popular and legendary HS basketball players I've ever seen, despite getting no recognition from the major rankings and awards. This is the story of @Eliellis25

I can't believe I'm jumping on this train because of how much I have not been a fan of Cuomo re: our subways. But the clear fact is in 10 minutes he's been more honest and presidential than Trump has in four years, and I would take him over Biden 100% #CuomoForPresident

Two years ago we started @overtime we were “too late” to social media, had no followers and no one cared we existed. Almost exactly two years later thanks the best team ever and our amazing fans we just hit 1 million on IG. Just put your mind to it and get out there and grind.

When I met Kobe he said: “So you’re from Ardmore.” We joked about Lower Merion and Philly burbs. I mean who does that? Kobe literally the 🐐 and he bothers to look me up before the meeting. There was nothing he wasn’t driven and winning at. He knew how to win at life. Lessons. 😥

I am the CEO of @overtime. I can tell you that as an entire company we know in our ❤️ that #BlackLivesMatter. Because if you are a “sports fan” and cheer for a player or a team. And you don’t understand why #BlackLivesMatter you need to wake TF up. 🙏🏿 ✊🏾

Preach! @AndrewYang speaks out!
They’ve omitted me from their graphics 12+ times, called me John Yang on air, and given me a fraction of the speaking time over 2 debates despite my polling higher than other candidates on stage. At some point you have to call it.

If you have a candidate who has no full time job, trapped at home and no digital strategy... why wouldn't you ask @AndrewYang to run his digital strategy. The proof is there and the old playbook isn't working... and that's how you win.

Florida, Texas, NC, Wisconsin and other states actively suppressing student voters because they are overwhelmingly more liberal. We can add generational warfare to the class and race warfare practiced by the Republican Party

Someone on my team came up to me last night and said: “they tried to block us from gyms, tell us not to film, poach our employees, copy us, outspend us and more… so we just built our OWN.” Yes we did.

Congrats to Ari and the @Endeavor team on the IPO. You don’t get to build a business and go on a journey to an IPO that wild without being a legend. As proof here’s my favorite email ever from my time at WME. Legend.

Spent this weekend reading about cable, subscribers and habits. 83 million people pay roughly $9 a month for ESPN, but approximately 43% are not sports fans and don't watch. The legacy bundle provides Disney $3.8 billion a year in revenues for a product that isn't being watched.

The best thing about zoom interviews is it mostly obscures my infinite hand gestures. Thanks for having me @AndrewYang - always good to catch up!
Now on yangspeaks.com the CEO of @overtime Dan Porter @tfadp talks about what ESPN would look like if it were started today, a different approach to covering sports, paying high school athletes and much more. Thanks Dan!

Some thoughts on @OvertimeElite historic (for us!) deal with @PrimeVideo and @amazon. Here are the bets we made.
1) We bet on ourselves. We self distributed in year 1. We were our own media partner powered by @overtime and we built all our own capabilities in house to go live

Last week I met with Kobe at his studio. He was warm, engaged and then towards the end of the meeting he stood up and said, “I have to go pick my daughter up,” shook my hand and walked out. What else is there to say....

If white football players were kneeling to protest inaction on opioid abuse there would be no NFL owners ruling, no fines. It's not really the kneeling they object to. It's black outrage against the underlying problem of racism and police brutality they are ignoring and silencing

You know @overtime for our short form content but did you know on Youtube content spanning 8+ minutes, Overtime content earns MORE than TWICE as many views per video as all major competitors, including ESPN, BR, HoH, and Barstool (Tubular, 6/20 - 5/21)

I am scrolling through @overtime tonight on Twitter and it’s amazing. Every great HS Ball player all over the country is featured doing something epic. In 12 months we’ve built s process and tech to scale this like no one ever had. It’s national and epic and I’m super proud.

1/ @overtime first filmed Eli when he was entering his Freshman year. He had 15,000 followers and was attracting some attention as an undersized shooter. He was his own PR machine and asked us to come film, sending over his daily schedule.

Jared McCain is one of the most impressive young man we’ve ever covered. And whatever you think about his nails and more. I watched him play at OTE and he is a world class shit talker and one of the toughest and hardest players I’ve ever seen play.

VC’s only looked at the TAM of burgers which were favored early on only by immigrants from Hamburg. They didn’t understand that the happy meal toy was the original NFT and McDonalds was actually an IP platform disguised as fast food.

There are two kinds of “help” in a startup.
1) You’ve just raised a round. “Let me know how I can help.” This means pay 💰 and they will “help.”
2) You have no money. “Let me know how I can help.” This is actual help. You will never forget it.
I always want / want to be #2.

6/ The toughest kid on the court by a mile. An absolute trash talking hustler. Lights out shooter. Impossible to defend. Plays every minute. Born leader. And off the court, @Eliellis25 the nicest, most respectful young man around. Stays 2 hrs after games to take pics w/ fans.

Of the 435,000 views of OTE @OvertimeElite first game, 1 in every 6 viewers watched the FULL 50 minutes of the game in its entirety. Different camera angles, commentary and more. That's pretty cool. (We upload full games to be watched on demand instead of live streaming them)

Boss knowledge from @Slasher
how to internet effectively in 2020
tik tok is oc, twitter is for posting tik toks, facebook is for ig photos, instagram is for tweet screenshots, youtube is for watching tv, twitch is for watching youtube, reddit is for 4chan memes, and half the media online are reddit reposts

Every sports media company is churning out press releases and articles about tik tok. Only one company, @overtime, is actually on the list of top ten tik tok sports moments of 2019. They do the press, we reach the fans.

WFH works because we spent time working face to face in an office. WFH is an offshoot of strong interpersonal relationships, non verbal communication & camaraderie from working together live. We are coasting off this now. WFH as new normal to disrupt fails to account for this
