Jason Velez sells baseball in NYC and isn't competing head to head with any of the bigger teams...

Dave Wakeman's The Business of Fun Podcast

My guest today is Jason Velez from the Staten Island Ferry Hawks.

I've known Jason for a long time. So long that he has one of the OG Dave business cards.

So, it was great to catch up with Jason.

We hit on 3 big topics in this episode:

• Selling based on value
• Competing with bigger brands and bigger teams
• Unique promotions

We talk about the Ferry Hawks partnership with the Wu Tang Clan.

We talk about creating unique value.

We discuss why price isn't necessarily a driver of demand...and more.

2 July, I'm hosting a meet up in London at the Brew Dog in SoHo at 5 PM.

We can throw back a pint!
