"I had a great night of networking on Wednesday while attending Sports Business Leaders VIP event at Ballers. Big shout out to Jake and Justin for hosting a truly incredible event. Got to meet some new people and others I got to catch up with. Looking forward to more events from this team."

"In just a short time as a VIP of this group, I’ve had the chance to connect with:
- Founders building companies I’ve admired for years (and hope to emulate),
- Investors who know the roadmap to scaling ventures like ours,
- Owners of teams and leagues shaping the sports industry,
- And countless others helping push ShowNxt forward on our journey.

Grateful for this network and for the continued work of Justin and Jake in building such an incredible community."

"How will Sports Business Leaders continue to meet (or dare I even suggest exceed) the expectations they are setting for their events? So far, so good on that front. Last week's VIP event at Ballers Philly was another slam dunk. The location was incredible, the conversations (as always) were fantastic, and the group just continued its trend of getting stronger.

Looking forward to more exciting events to come. No pressure Jake and Justin, but the bar has been raised again!"
