The Marketing Drive  Short marketing message that you can use right now! Love is the Answer Host: Chris Doelle | Production: Fresh Media Works CORE PREMISE Chris Doelle argues that love is a practical business principle, not just a personal one. Real growth comes from genuinely valuing clients, staff, partners, and collaborators as people, not transactions. MAIN TOPICS Clients and customer value • Treat clients as relationships, not revenue entries. • Short-term transactions are weaker than long-term trust. • Lifetime value grows when clients feel genuinely valued. Staff and team culture • Leadership should correct problems without losing care for people. • Teams perform better when staff know they are supported. • Shared success starts with respect and investment in others. Business relationships • Love applies beyond customers to partners, collaborators, and even competitors. • Strong business outcomes are built on human connection. • Real relationships matter more than what appears on an invoice. Authenticity in business • Chris ties love to being real in how you work and serve. • The strongest business foundation is caring about who you help and why. • People can tell when they are being treated as numbers. Long-term mindset • Transactional business can work for a while. • Enduring client relationships require sincerity and service. • The goal is not just payment, but meaningful impact. PULL QUOTE If someone cannot convincingly market their own marketing to you, do not let them near you or your clients. 📞 Contact Phone: 713-269-4620 | Web: freshmediaworks.com

Blake Lawrence - Understanding NIL Season 6 Episode 8   Host: Chris Doelle Co-Host: Tim Prukop Guest: Blake Lawrence, CEO & Co-Founder, Opendorse Opendorse CEO Blake Lawrence — a former starting linebacker at Nebraska whose career ended after four concussions — joins Tim Prukop to break down what Texas high school coaches need to understand about name, image, and likeness. From knowing your state's rules to what questions recruits should ask on campus visits, this is a practical primer on the business side of modern college athletics. Key Takeaways:  • What Opendorse Is: A technology platform used by 200,000+ athletes and 200+ campuses to manage NIL deals and endorsements. Started in 2012 working with NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL players associations before expanding into college sports. Processes hundreds of millions of dollars to athletes annually. • Know Your State Rules First: Can your athletes get paid while still in high school? Can they use school logos or facilities? In Texas, athletes can sign NIL deals with their college commitment but generally can't receive funding until they're on campus. Each state differs — study your state athletic association's rules before talking to athletes. • Two Buckets of High School NIL: Commercial NIL — athletes with a large social following getting paid by brands to promote products (few and far between, small dollars). Collegiate/Collective NIL — donors pooling funds to pay recruits for signing with a program, essentially a salary (this is where the big money is). • Know Your Number: The biggest rookie mistake is not knowing what a recruit at your position, in your conference, should command in a rev share deal. Opendorse offers a free Market Intel report — request one for any position at any level to benchmark compensation. • Questions Recruits Must Ask: What's guaranteed vs. potential? One-year or multi-year deal? Is there a buyout? What happens if the coach leaves or the athlete transfers? What additional deals (car, housing, travel credits) can the school's marketing agency secure beyond the base rev share? Schools prefer recruits who don't ask questions — so ask them. • NIL Agent Red Flags: There is no such thing as a "certified NIL agent." Anyone can claim the title. For commercial deals (brand partnerships), 20% commission is standard. For rev share contracts, 5–10% is the fair range — anything over 10% is a red flag. Watch out for contracts that sign away marketing rights in perpetuity or that extend beyond college eligibility, which some state laws don't even allow. • Taxes — The #1 Financial Literacy Lesson: All NIL income is 1099 independent contractor income. No taxes are withheld. Athletes must save 30–40% for the IRS. In-kind value (a $2,000/month car lease = $24,000 taxable income) also triggers a 1099. The IRS will be "the first one to win big from NIL" through fines and interest from athletes who didn't know they had to pay. • Gloria Materre's Story: A former foster child who lost both parents before her teens, lived in a car with her sisters, became a top volleyball player at Oregon, and earned enough through NIL in her first three months to buy her first car. A reminder that these dollars change lives beyond what shows up on SportsCenter. • The Big Picture: NIL is projected to be a $5 billion industry by the end of the decade. College athletes will earn more than every pro sports league except the NFL and NBA. Love it or hate it, it's here — coaches need to lean in.

Leading Through Combat, Cancer, and Coaching: Brooke Brittain Season 6 Episode 7   Guest Host: Coach Bob Wager, High School Relations Director & Special Teams Coach, Texas Christian University Host: Chris Doelle Guest: Coach Brooke Brittain, Athletic Coordinator & Head Girls Basketball Coach, Mansfield Tigers Coach Bob Wager — 30-year Texas high school football coach and one of Brittain's closest friends — takes the mic to interview Coach Brooke Brittain, a Bronze Star recipient, two-tour Iraq veteran, stage-three cancer survivor, doctoral candidate at Creighton University, and now published author. The conversation traces the life experiences that shaped her leadership philosophy and ultimately produced a book Wager calls "a leadership manual every coach should read." Key Takeaways: • Military as an Asset, Not a Burden: When Wager hired Brittain in 2010 at James Martin High School in Arlington, she had just returned from her second deployment to Iraq. He saw her military service as a strength — an attitude she credits with putting her coaching career on the right path. • Jessica Lynch & the "Barney Fife Bullet": While serving as a military police officer in southern Iraq in 2003, Brittain's unit operated in the same area where Private Jessica Lynch was captured. The experience prompted Brittain and her four closest friends — the "Tough Guys" — to make a pact about fighting on their own terms, a mindset that carried into everything after. • Leading Through Community Tragedy: In January 2015, senior football player Carl Wilson was murdered. Brittain describes watching Wager lead the Martin High School community through grief — calming players ready to retaliate, building trust with local police, raising funds for a headstone, and ultimately walking the graduation stage to accept Carl's diploma. It became one of the defining moments that inspired her to study how leaders navigate trauma. • Relentless Optimism, Not Just Resilience: Brittain rejects the word "endure." Drawing on her mentor Dr. Brennan — former sports psychologist at Villanova during their national championship run — she frames the core idea: if you're just trying to get through hardship, you're doomed to mediocrity. The goal is to express your best self through the storm, not wait for it to pass. • Cancer, Coaching, and Delegation: Battling stage-three cancer while serving as a 6A athletic coordinator, coaching a nationally competitive girls basketball program, and completing her doctorate, Brittain learned the difference between winning and doing everything. Winning her treatment, winning her delegation, winning what was in front of her — that was the framework. • The Book's Origin — Red Sea to Leadership Summit: The idea crystallized during a deployment swim in the Red Sea. Years of scattered chapters on grief, grit, resilience, and struggle eventually came together when Jon Gordon's wife opened a publishing company. Gordon — whose book The Energy Bus pulled Brittain out of a dark time in 2015 — is now an endorser on her book.

S04E10 - Thursday Night Lights   Episode Summary In this episode of Lunch with Chris, Chris Doelle sits down with Michael Hurd, author of Thursday Night Lights, and Rob Lynch, producer of the documentary film inspired by the same powerful history. Together, they explore the legacy of the Prairie View Interscholastic League (PVIL), the overlooked story of Black high school football in Texas during segregation, and why capturing these voices now matters so much. Michael shares how his own Houston upbringing, journalism career, and passion for Black sports history led him to write the book. Rob discusses how his background around football and firsthand experiences with integration shaped his desire to produce the film. The conversation highlights the deep community pride around PVIL football, the cultural significance of events like the Turkey Day Classic, and the urgency of preserving stories before they are lost. This is a conversation about football, history, memory, and the people who made an extraordinary impact long before they got the recognition they deserved. What You'll Hear in This Episode • Michael Hurd's journey from Houston athlete and journalist to respected sports historian • Why Thursday Night Lights became such an important book • How Rob Lynch came to produce the documentary film • The challenge of researching PVIL history when so much was undocumented or discarded • The role of the Black community in shaping Texas high school football culture • Why the Turkey Day Classic drew both Black and white fans, coaches, and scouts • How both the book and film serve as overviews of a much bigger untold story • The idea of a future podcast project dedicated entirely to PVIL stories Key Themes • Hidden history in Texas football • The cultural power of community sports • Preserving firsthand stories before they disappear • The legacy of segregation and integration in athletics • Why overlooked stories still resonate with modern audiences Why This Episode Matters The story of the PVIL is not just sports history. It is Texas history, community history, and American history. This episode captures why projects like Michael Hurd's book and Rob Lynch's film matter so much: they restore visibility to athletes, coaches, schools, and communities that helped shape the game but were too often left out of the spotlight. Guest Bios Michael Hurd Michael Hurd is an author, journalist, and historian whose work has focused extensively on Black sports history. A former journalist with outlets including the Houston Post, USA Today, Yahoo Sports, and others, he is the author of Thursday Night Lights, a landmark book on Black high school football in Texas and the PVIL. Rob Lynch Rob Lynch is the producer of the Thursday Night Lights documentary film. Drawing from a lifetime around football and a personal connection to the culture surrounding integration-era athletics, Lynch helped bring the story of PVIL football to the screen through firsthand interviews and archival research. Links and Resources • Thursday Night Lights book by Michael Hurd • Thursday Night Lights: Separate... but Equal? documentary film • Prairie View Interscholastic League history • Turkey Day Classic legacy Takeaway Quote Some stories are too important to leave buried.
