From Date Night to Trademark: How Dana Turned Kiss Cam Into a Global Brand

Ryan sits down with Dana, the founder of Kiss Cam LLC and a Castle Rock-based entrepreneur who stumbled into one of the most recognizable brands in sports entertainment. What started as a missed moment at a Denver Nuggets game turned into a worldwide IP portfolio spanning 27 countries, three US patents, a web-based contest platform, a lipstick collab, and even a Hollywood licensing deal. Dana breaks down how he and his son bootstrapped the business from their oil and gas backgrounds, ran a successful beta test with the Oklahoma City Dodgers (the LA Dodgers' minor league affiliate), and got Kiss Cam featured in an upcoming Sony Pictures film. He also shares what's next, including a potential weekly TV show, a photo booth concept, and plans to bring the Kiss Cam contest to more arenas, colleges, and corporate events. The guys also chat Denver sports (Nuggets playoff hopes, Broncos building something special), and Dana gives some great local picks for dining in Castle Rock.
