In this week's episode, we discuss how to view your competition, and how they likely view view. We explore how just one person off script can kill a deal and how that happened to Nike with the future two-time MVP Steph Curry (and us with FedEx) Finally we share a story about trying to fit in during middle school and some life advice which changed how we viewed friendship and business. 1) Treat competition with respect. It's not unlikely you'll end up teammates down the road 2) It just takes one person off script to kill a deal. Ask "Steve" Curry 3) Surround yourself with those who fill your cup. Especially when looking at what's next

Three Things I Learned In SaaS, Sports, Tech & Live Events Podcast
The Three Things I've Learned in sports, tech and live events is the podcast for entrepreneurs in software as a service, technology, sports business and sponsorships professionals.
My name is Tony Knopp and I've been working in Saas, tech, sports and live events for just over 20 years now where I've been surrounded by super impressive people who have taught us quite a bit and invested in us as we make mistakes and iterate in tech, sports and live events.
Each week, we share what we learned either this week or from our twenty years at the Dodgers, LA Kings, AEG, StubHub's very early days and here at TicketManager where we've exited multiple businesses.
We hope you enjoy our insights and those of our guests!
