Dave Wakeman's The Business of Fun Podcast


Nov 21, 2025

My guest today is Jessica Poole. 

She's a long time friend of the podcast, the newsletter, and me! So I wanted to have her on to talk about the work she is doing with the Jessica Poole Communications Collective.

We got into it:

  • We talked about the state of NIL
  • Jessica tells me that NIL and revenue can co-exist. 
  • She says that student athletes have to think about their personal brands even if they don't think they will play after college. 
  • We discussed the idea of "The Pivot"
  • And, much more!

Fill out the Talking Tickets 2025 global survey! 

Over 10% of folks still price based on putting their finger in the air. 

Ha!

There's a lot more to learn from the survey. So help me do that by sharing your insights.
