Kevin McReynolds is the Founder & CEO of Overnght, a global streaming platform redefining how Olympic and underrepresented sports are distributed, consumed, and monetized.

By combining innovative distribution, data-driven strategy, and a deep focus on athlete storytelling, Overnght is unlocking new revenue streams and building a more sustainable future for Olympic sportsâespecially as momentum builds toward the 2028 Summer Olympics.
In this episode, Kevin joins to break down the opportunity in overlooked sports, how heâs navigating complex rights landscapes, and why community, storytelling, and accessibility are at the core of his strategy.
