    Sports biz at a crossroads, from the WNBA to the NCAA to ESPN, with Sarah Spain of Good Game
    Jun 3 2025

    Sports business has never had higher stakes—for every league, every team, every streaming service, and every player. Sarah Spain, host of the podcast Good Game with Sarah Spain, longtime ESPN personality and sports journalist, joins Rapid Response to unpack the complexities behind the WNBA’s mainstream moment, the future of ESPN’s streaming, and the looming legal settlement that could transform college athletics forever. She argues that the men’s playbook isn’t the way forward for pro women’s leagues and breaks down how culture is key to any winning strategy—from the locker room to the C-suite.

    You can find Sarah’s new book Runs in the Family here.

I have listened to Masters of Scale since the beginning. At the time, I was switching jobs from Microsoft to Oculus Research (Facebook Reality Labs Research and now Meta Reality Labs Research). This Podcast inspired me so profoundly. Its storytelling was unique. Its quality and use of sound and honest conversations were terrific. And now I recommend it to every Product Manager and person in Tech that I meet. I am leaving a review here in Audible because it deserves thousands of five-star reviews, and I love that I can now bookmark in Audible with my audiobooks (including the Masters of Scale book)! Keep up the great work and teach us all how to be our scale masters and entrepreneurs.
