Sports teams can know who bought a ticket without knowing who actually showed up, which team they support, or what would bring them back.

FanFeed founders Cole Rubin and Jack Phifer join Eric Kasimov to discuss the fan data arms race: connecting fragmented systems, using camera-roll metadata to identify attendance, and making the exchange of data for personalization explicit. They also explore rising ticket prices, opportunities for smaller teams, and how AI could simplify the trip to a game.

The question throughout: what does the fan get in return?

What changes when an athlete’s body becomes another source of data for teams?

Haniff Brown, founder and CEO of FIT:MATCH, joins Eric Kasimov to examine the next layer of sports data: the athlete’s body itself. Late developers, recruiting and digital twins make the possibilities tangible. Brown explains how QuadraScan uses photos to generate body data and inform projections, while Eric presses on accuracy, athlete choice, privacy and what happens when a coach disagrees with a model.
