Special Guest Peter Trevisani Owner CEO of New Mexico United Soccer Team in Albuquerque www.newmexicoutd.com A graduate of Boston College, and Columbia University, Peter Trevisani, is the first Club President and CEO of New Mexico United. He is motivated by a commitment to community, a love of competition, and a concrete belief that soccer can pave the path to meaningful growth in the state of New Mexico. Born just outside of Boston, MA, sometime between the Boston Tea Party and Tom Brady being drafted, Peter attended Boston College where he played the other kind of football: American Football. After graduating, and attempting to go pro in Italy, he spent three years building personal computers for small businesses in Boston before trading his floppy drive in for a calculator and embarking on the path of finance. It started with an MBA from Columbia University and finished 16 years later in Santa Fe, NM, where he was a Partner at Thornburg Investment Management. After leaving Thornburg in 2015, Peter wrote down 5 things that he loved, besides his family. One was immersive theater. His passion for immersive theater lead to an early investment and advisory work with the Santa Fe art collective, Meow Wolf. Another was health and fitness. This inspired "Project 47" a self-induced fitness challenge where Peter worked out for 47 days in a row, but each workout involved a different fitness discipline. This challenge lead Peter to some familiar workouts such as crossfit and mountain biking but it also found him in some less comfortable environments, such as a water aerobics class and playing dodgeball with the 6th grade class at his son's school. Peter also listed the word "Community". It was this single word that inspired him to lead a group of like-minded individuals who shared his vision to inspire and elevate fellow New Mexicans. The medium for this change and inspiration… soccer. Peter sees this team as a vehicle for community engagement and the catalyst for systemic change. The club will compete at an elite level, with the foundational goals of winning the USL and Open Cup, but beyond that, it will overtly, and positively improve the self-worth of this beautiful state. When he is not focused on community, health and fitness, immersive theater, music or learning, Peter can be found with his wife of 20 years Wendy, three generally well behaved kids Blake, Luke and Pierce and man-dog, Tyrone.

Our Guest Robert Smith is a father, husband, entertainer and speaker. He started his entertainment career as a magician in 1997 and went on to have some of America's largest companies and events as clients including Walt Disney World and Sea World. In 2004, Robert made his first fair appearance at the Nevada State Fair. He'd spend the next 7 years struggling to find long term success with his magic show in the fair market. In 2011, recognizing the fair industry was saturated with magicians, Robert knew he needed to make a change or he would continue to struggle. In May of 2011, a friend suggested Robert build a fortune machine, like the one in the Tom Hanks movie, "Big." Hesitant at first, Robert set out to design what would come to be known as Conjurer Fortune Machine. The act featured Robert portraying the mechanical fortune teller and went on to be booked into America's largest fairs including the Los Angeles County Fair, Ohio State Fair, Arizona State Fair and OC Fair in Costa Mesa, California. SOCIAL MEDIA 434 Over the course of his career, from 2004-2016, Robert sat back and learned as much as he could about the fair industry's marketing tactics and approaches. During that time, the world began to transition in the largest communication shift humanity has ever known, smartphones and the internet at scale. Robert quickly noticed that many fairs and brands were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars marketing like it was still 2003. Or worse, 1993. Billboards, pop-up banner ads, print, and traditional 30-second ads on radio and television. The problem? Moving forward in a modern digital world and beyond, those mediums are ridiculously over-priced. In February of 2017, Robert started sharing marketing information with fairs and outdoor event planners. As Robert began to expand his personal brand into the realm of digital marketing, there was immediate push back from traditional marketers. Robert was told "everyone is laughing at you behind your back." Unaffected, Robert continued to sculpt his personal brand and message. Robert knew the name for his presentation needed to reflect the content. This would not be the 101 level information many others share. It needed to go beyond the 101 level tactics and get into a real understanding of "why," digital marketing works in a tech driven world. With that, SOCIAL MEDIA 434 was born. SOCIAL MEDIA 434 is an advanced level session on digital marketing in the modern world. It's purpose, to help your group move beyond the, "what and how," and understand the, "why," of today's digital marketing.
