"Build From Scratch: Careers in Sports & Creating What Doesn’t Exist"

An energetic, practical session for business professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs interested in how interesting ventures are built—especially in competitive, relationship-driven industries like sports.

I share how I launched Virginia Vitesse with no investors, relying solely on marketing, strategy, operations, and relentless execution—and became the youngest owner in the WABA at 28. Attendees will hear how we drove 300+ fans per home game in year one, built credibility without capital, and turned an idea into a functioning organization from the ground up.

This session is designed to inspire the average entrepreneur—not celebrities—but professionals who want to:

• Build something before they feel “ready”

• Operate with limited resources

• Create momentum without permission
