Internet pioneer, John Kosner, President of Kosner Media, a digital media and sports consultancy and investment advisor in sports tech startups on the future of Sports. His four decades of Sports media expertise include building ESPN into the world's leading digital Sports destination; he also struck ESPN's original streaming deal with Bamtech, which led to Disney's acquisition of Major League baseball's technology firm in 2016. He argues that Sports will follow gaming into the interactive world building communities around sports players on and offline as younger fans look for new ways to engage. And he advises us to follow his old Disney colleague, Steve Jobs’ mantra: beware the status quo.
