The $5B Rise of Rec Sports and the 28-Year-Old Behind It
Description
Jake and Tyler sit down with Brodie League founder Connor Renton to break down how he turned adult rec sports into a scalable business. At just 28 years old, Connor has built Brodie into a 34-market operation with a full-time team, hundreds of part-timers, a custom app, and a brand that feels more like a lifestyle company than a local league. The three talk about scaling community, building systems that last, and why rec sports are way more serious than they look from the outside.
