    Inside the Fastest Sport Ever to Reach the Olympics | FIBA 3x3, Esteban Gonzalez Villa

    Esteban Gonzalez joined FIBA in 2015 on a three-month internship. Eleven years later, he's the Senior Digital Content Manager for FIBA 3x3 — a sport with 10 million followers, 1.1 billion video views and over $220M in media value generated for sponsors in 2025 alone. It's also the fastest sport ever to reach the Olympics — just five years from pro circuit launch to Olympic discipline. In this episode, Ed sits down with Esteban to break down how FIBA 3x3 built one of the most efficient content engines in world sport. Why digital-first was a strategic choice, not a fallback. How brands like Mitsubishi Electric are buying teams rather than sponsoring them. Why Karl Lagerfeld and Elle want in. And the next bet, moving off-platform to own the audience instead of renting it.

    We Broke Down the 5 Biggest 2026 NYC Upfronts. One Network's Strategy Stood Out.

    In May 2026, five of the biggest media companies in America stood on a stage in New York and explained how they plan to make money for the next 12 months. YouTube declared itself TV. Disney pitched fandom. Fox did the opposite of everyone else. The 2026 upfronts didn't reveal one winner; they revealed five completely different bets on the next decade of media. Ed and Jo unpack the five biggest upfronts one at a time. Why YouTube has officially repositioned creator-led shows as premium TV inventory. What it actually means that Disney is now selling fandom instead of exclusivity. Why Fox has divested traditional networks and gone all-in on Tubi while Paramount and Warner Bros. merge. Plus NBC owning Sunday, Warner Bros. Discovery's pre-merger pitch, and the one network whose strategy stood out most to both of them. New episode every Wednesday.

    The End of FIFA's Panini Era, Why Bryson Picked YouTube Over the PGA & Fencing's VIRAL New Tech

    A two-time major champion just told reporters he'd rather grow his YouTube channel than go back to the PGA Tour. Bryson DeChambeau wants to play "tournaments that want him", and treats his 2.6 million-subscriber channel as the long-term career play. The player-as-creator thesis just went mainstream. That's one of five stories Ed and Jo unpack this week. TikTok has hired Issa Rae's Hoorae Media to commission its first scripted Original Series. Duke just signed a first-of-its-kind college rights deal with Amazon Prime Video, and the Big Ten objected within 72 hours. The World Fencing League's blade-tracking tech turned every sword tip into a lightsaber trail and pulled hundreds of millions of views in a week. Plus FIFA walks away from a 50-year Panini relationship for a long-term Fanatics deal. Chapters 00:00 — Intro 00:30 — Why Bryson Picked YouTube Over the PGA 05:50 — TikTok is Launching Its First Original Series 11:30 — Amazon Invests in College Sports 16:05 — Fencing's VIRAL New Tech 21:00 — FIFA Drops Panini After 50 Years 27:00 — Wrap New episode every Wednesday.
