🎙️ New Episode Alert — "Beyond the Ticket: Building the Future of Fan Intelligence" This week, I had the opportunity to sit down with Cole Rubin, Co-Founder and CEO of FanFeed, to discuss entrepreneurship, innovation, and how the future of ticketing is shifting from simply selling tickets to truly understanding fans. Cole has spent more than two decades building companies that have transformed the ticketing industry—from founding Dynasty Sports & Entertainment, which became Logitix, to launching Seat Club, and now leading FanFeed. His career is a masterclass in identifying opportunities, taking calculated risks, and continuing to reinvent an industry that's constantly evolving. We discussed his entrepreneurial journey, the evolution of ticketing technology, and why the next competitive advantage isn't just better pricing—it's better understanding the people attending your events. 🎟️ 3 Hustle Hot Topics from this episode: 🎟️ Why fan data should be built on trust, transparency, and consent—not just collection 🎟️ How leaders can stay ahead of where an industry is going instead of reacting to where it's been 🎟️ What it takes to continually bet on yourself and build multiple successful companies One of my favorite themes from this conversation is that the companies that shape the future aren't just solving today's problems—they're identifying tomorrow's opportunities before everyone else sees them. This episode is packed with entrepreneurial lessons, leadership insights, and practical ideas for anyone working in sports, technology, ticketing, live entertainment, or business.
