And when I when I started 55 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: talking about trend setters, groundbreakers, visionaries, I'm sure those names 56 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: I have been used to describe both of you as 57 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: a couple as well as individuals. So how do you 58 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: get into football business? So we um. I started by 59 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: he's a consult with pro athletes, mainly NFL NBA players 60 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: for about ten years and Marcus Colston who played for 61 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: the Saints, and I remember he launched the team in 62 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: Harrisburg called Hansburg and I worked with him on that 63 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: for four years. And that's when I was introduced to 64 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: the arena sports industry and got to know all the 65 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: owners and different leagues from a f L to i 66 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: f L to n a L. Such a fragmented business, 67 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: but got the meat and understand a lot of the 68 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: players in the industry. And when I I'm a native 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: New Yorker and so we end up getting out of 70 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: that team and markets end up investing in the Philadelphia Soul, 71 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: which is an arena football team, and got to know 72 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: the owners there. And as we're getting to know the 73 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: owners there, they say, hey, you know, New York doesn't 74 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: have a market have a team, but it has a 75 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: big market. And that began the journey. And I was 76 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: three years ago just to um find a location so 77 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: we can actually launch a team. And that was a 78 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: three year journey. So how he how I got into 79 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the arena space was through my consulting with pro athletes 80 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: with Marcus Colston and working on the Harrisburg Stampede let 81 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: us all the way to i think seven years later 82 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: launching the New York Streets explained to my listeners what 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: exactly is arena football. So arena football is uh played 84 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: inside hence the word arena. It's basically playing on the 85 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: same fifty yards field, similar to a hockey rink. And 86 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: basically it's eight eight Um about ten percent of arena 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: football players, Arena Football League players go onto the NFL. 88 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: So it is a place where, um, the NFL pays 89 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: attention to if you for anyone that's really in the 90 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: sports and really into the NFL from a geekish point 91 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: of view. In the collective bargaining agreement with the NFL 92 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: Players Association and the NFL, arena football is actually spelled 93 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: out in that collective bargaining agreement because it's such a 94 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: source of talent for the NFL. Well, one of one 95 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: of the famous alumnus from there is Kurt Warner is 96 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: now Hall of Fame for the back Kurt Warner, and uh, 97 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: he came for arena football and it's all about I'm 98 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: a fan of arena football. I watch it high scoring. Um, 99 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: you as a fan, you just like hockey because you 100 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: know you can run right up into those pads and 101 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 1: so so that you you you you mastermind. You found 102 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: in the chairman and then chief revenue. This is all 103 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: about money. Now, why do the females, the women in 104 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: our lives, the ladies control the purse tree. That's what 105 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: he said. They said that when it comes to the money, 106 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: the purse treings is controlled by the ladies. So Chief 107 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: Revenue officer, please come to the front of the room. 108 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: Thank you. He's pitching this idea to you about he's 109 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: been working on it. Professional football player down New Orleans. 110 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: Why receiver four years? Why does this seem like a 111 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: good idea to the chief revenue officer the New York streets. Well, 112 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta tell you, to be honest, I 113 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: wasn't really sure to begin with. How you know that 114 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: was my first reaction, But I have to say that 115 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: I love it. I'm with him all the way. We have. 116 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: All we do is strategize and figure out what it 117 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: is that we're going to be able to come blushed together. 118 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: And you know this is my background. Sponsorship has been 119 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: my life for the last twenty years. So being able 120 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: to leverage the football market and being involved on this 121 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: level with my husband has been a dream. Contrue. Now, 122 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: this is really interesting because when I go through resumes, 123 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: I try to pull out little bios and trying to 124 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: pull out a litle nuggets, and like one of the 125 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: the gems was a mother of four being able to 126 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: balance being a mother of four. Let's talk about that 127 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: because I always tell people or publicly on my show 128 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: that despite all my success, I did not understand how 129 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: to balance my life.

The reason I set out to work 133 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: on my own is to actually have ultimate balance. So 134 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: you know the thing about an entrepreneurs You can schedule 135 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: your meetings according to your schedule and unless it's a 136 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: revenue meeting, right which I'll having and earth to take 137 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: those meetings with all the other meetings working around our 138 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: kids schedule.

And that's one of 310 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: the advantages of arena football is really you are It's 311 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: the closest you can be to football action. Obviously without 312 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: being honest that that's you know, because I've done a 313 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: lot of cars are which the producer, which Cedric, didn't 314 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: attain a lot of comedians. So I know what three thousand, 315 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: I know what three thousand people look like. And three 316 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: thousand people just say you're the football game, which is 317 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: like the fifty year half of the football field. It's 318 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: the size of a hockey field. That's pretty amazing when 319 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: I look at the whole aspect of its saying that, hey, 320 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: this is the size of the event, this is the 321 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: experience of the event Arena football, I just think one 322 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: has to go because now I'm being educated, and that's 323 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: a purpose of this show is to educate everyone on 324 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: how they can be part of the process. It means 325 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: that if you go to the game, the new York Streets. 326 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: Uh Corey and Tamara Galloway.

And that's really 329 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: important that you know these things that we sometimes we 330 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: don't participate in events, or we don't participate in sports 331 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: or go places because we don't know, we're not educated. Now, 332 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: I've seen arena football on TV a lot. I never 333 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: knew it was that intimate. It was always always felt 334 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: like maybe if it's in an arena, maybe it's like 335 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty thousand people surrounding and going. But they're they're 336 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: telling me that it's three thousand people. Wow, I went 337 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. I thought I had good seats. 338 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: These seats are fantastic. I gotta be able to I'm 339 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna become a big fan of this sport and 340 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: you should too. So what they got to do it 341 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna give me some social media banners and we're 342 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: gonna have a spread the word about how to get 343 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: it out there in a big way. Because of the 344 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: fact that I know that the New York Streets is 345 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: an amazing opportunity and It premiers April thirteen. See how 346 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: I did that, Corey in timer, I just kept talking Hello, Hello, Yeah, 347 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm back. Don't worry. I've been promoting here ever since 348 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: you ever since to disconnect. We didn't lose, We didn't 349 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: miss a beat here. Okay, can you hear me You're 350 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: back on again. Okay, cool, they're gonna drop off. Oh 351 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: keep following. Can you hear me that? Timra Okay, No, 352 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: I apologize, but I've been promoting you the last two minutes. 353 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: Was not lost. I've just been talking about because I 354 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: was just telling it. Here's the thing is that I 355 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: watched I watched Arena football on TV. I watch it. 356 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: I never knew and you're telling me that all these 357 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: arenas are that intimate. No, traditionally the arenas are you know, 358 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: ten down in. Yeah, it's truly the thing about getting 359 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: into the New York market is you have over eight 360 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: million people, and of those of that eight million people, 361 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: they have four options. So even you're gonna strike a 362 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: deal with msg UM, which has a strong relationship with 363 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: the Prudential Center in Jersey, while you'll strike a deal 364 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: with Barclays, which actually manages Nasau County. So neilis is 365 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: a strike a deal with either one of those venues, 366 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: which you know and the offering with Westchester County, um 367 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: of just making it something that they're rolling the red 368 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: carpet to us for you know, attractive. So let me 369 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: ask you about the team makeup. Okay, because of the 370 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: fact that how many players? How do they travel? Is 371 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: it bus travel? Is it chartered planes? How does there 372 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: how many players on each team because they play because 373 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: there's two way, right, there's a lot of two way 374 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: play right on this one. Now, the IFL, which has 375 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: been the FBI, they played two ays on the arena 376 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: league side. We go one way, so there's eight players 377 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: on each side of the ball. We carry twenty two players, 378 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: UM and travel you know, it's uh taking up during 379 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: a chartered flight. UM. And we really try to manage 380 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: which is where I think a lot of the challenges 381 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: have been over the years, managing your travel dates. So 382 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: we'll you know, will travel to Orlando once, travel to 383 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: Jacksonville once, will play like the closer teams in Massachusetts 384 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: will play them twice. So we're really looking at it 385 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: from a business point of view on how we travel. 386 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: And you know, the dollars that go into traveling with 387 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: the team.
