Polymathic Audio No. 13: Joe Pompliano

 

Joe Pompliano’s slice of passion economy sits at the crossroads of sports and business – an area once served by ESPN’s Darren Rovell. The younger Pompliano brother (yes, we have featured his older brother Anthony) has taken up the mantle.

In just six months, he’s built a Twitter following from 0 to 80,000 followers and a newsletter that is now cited by mainstream  media. As recently as this week, his co-sign was featured in Newsweek:

Both boxers are set to land a major windfall from the fight, with a guaranteed return of $10 million each, according to Joe Pompliano of Huddle Up.

Yes, the former banker writes Huddle Up, a daily newsletter that provides consistent commentary on the business of sports. This episode discusses the business of consistency, how his career in finance prepared him for the rigors of media, building a Substack community, and the future of his business. And who he’d sell to, if they asked.

Polymathic Audio No. 12: Grace Garcia Clarke

 

 

In a recent essay on deep thinkers and wonderful ideas-turned careers, I wrote on Clarke:

Formerly an operative at Derris, she’s now independent and highly coveted. Brands tap her for communications, industry research, and her eye for understanding what stodgy businessmen do not. An example of this is her well-researched product rundown for New York Magazine’s The Strategist where she wrangled the opinions of dozens of Generation Z TikTok users to publish one of the publication’s best converting articles. [1]

She’s a former operative at Derris PR where she built the profitable content practice from the ground up. Not only did she thrive on the agency side, she was formerly a marketer at Madewell and a journalist – first in print and then on the digital side for Conde Nast. Her experience is broad. In practice – she is the essence of the study of linear commerce. This is why many in the digital spaces are beginning to view her as a go-to thinker.
