This week, I'm chatting with the legendary George Land! 🏀 I met George being nosy about his plate (true story!), and now you get to hear his journey from pioneering content for the NBA (hello, Emmy for The Last Dance!) to growing the brand across China and Africa. We're talk the unrecognized power of cultural humility, snagging early wins, and building Youth Quake Nation to create pathways for African basketball talent. Prepare for grounded wisdom! 🌍 -- About George Land: George Land is the Founder and CEO of Youthquake Nation Sports & Entertainment, a sports marketing firm providing effective solutions for elite athletes, organizations, and the broader industry. George spent 31 years as an NBA executive, expanding the organization's business across North America, Asia, and Africa. He received an Emmy Award for his involvement in the 2020 Netflix documentary The Last Dance and was recognized with the Curt Gowdy Media Award for his work on NBA Inside Stuff.
