Episode notes

The drone racing league is the world's premier drone racing property. The six year old league, which mixes real life racing and ea sports like simulations, reaches 250 million households across the globe. It boasts two and a half million tiktok followers, one of the largest sports franchises on the platform. Drone racing league is part sports, part entertainment, with elements of crypto and block chain betting and the meta verse. Every day in site, first aerial sport you can bet on. First race in the metaverse, we want to do a drone ace on the moon. We spoke to nassa about that.

With their eyes fixed on what’s next, the Drone Racing League has established a fresh fanbase, previously left untapped by professional sports.

As Rachel says, the companies that aren’t planning for their future demographics of consumers will “age out really quickly.” She spoke with Rapid Response host Bob Safian about diving into future ideas that may first appear unrealistic – and spinning them into realities. The Drone Racing League has successfully secured partnerships with some of the biggest media and commercial organizations in the world, such as NBC, Twitter, T-Mobile, and DraftKings.
