    52 Weeks of Hustle - The First Post-Diamond World Series
    Oct 28 2026
    ⚾🎙️ New Episode Alert — “The First Post-Diamond World Series: How Baseball's Media Business Is Changing” The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays are giving us a World Series that goes well beyond what is happening on the field. Two smaller-market teams. A changing television landscape. And some pretty impressive viewership numbers. This week on 52 Weeks of Hustle, I'm breaking down one of the biggest changes happening in baseball: the collapse of the traditional Regional Sports Network (RSN) model and what MLB is doing to replace it. ⚾ 3 Hustle Hot Topics: 📺 The Fall of Regional Sports Networks — How we went from Bally Sports and FanDuel Sports Network to MLB taking more control of local broadcasts. 📈 The Ratings — Approximately 12.2 million viewers for Game 1 nationally, plus a 33.9 local rating and 70 share in Milwaukee. Pretty impressive numbers for a World Series featuring two smaller-market teams. 💰 The Future of Local Media — What MLB's new approach means for teams, sponsors, revenue opportunities, and the way fans watch games. One of my biggest takeaways is that you don't necessarily need the biggest markets to create a great sports business story. I'm curious what everyone thinks. Are leagues better off controlling their own local media rights and distribution, or was the traditional RSN model better for teams and fans? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    🎙️ New Episode Alert — “Beyond the Hustle: Why Recovery Is the Key to High Performance” We talk a lot about working hard, pushing through challenges, and performing at a high level. But how often do we talk about recovery? This week on 52 Weeks of Hustle, I sat down with Derek Clark, creator of The Stress Recovery Game Plan and founder of Grizz Athletic Performance and Recovery. Derek has spent more than 25 years in athletic training and sports performance. After facing two major health challenges, his perspective on stress and recovery changed dramatically. One question from our conversation really stood out to me. 🏈 Professional athletes have entire teams dedicated to helping them recover and perform at their best. But what about the people working in ticket sales, marketing, partnerships, and leadership who are constantly under pressure? 🧠 3 Hustle Hot Topics: 💪 Why we need to shift from managing stress to actually recovering from it. ⚡ Understanding the different types of stress and how to respond to them. 🏆 What high-performing executives can start doing today to avoid constantly running on empty. I've always believed in the importance of hustle, but this conversation was a great reminder that recovery matters just as much. Curious to hear from everyone — what do you do to recover from the stress of work and everyday life? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
