Episode 87: Brandon Steiner - You Gotta Have Balls

In this episode of the Rise of The Young Podcast I sat down with Brandon Steiner and talked about his journey as a legend in the sports marketing world. -As a poor kid in Brooklyn, Brandon Steiner lived for the summer days when he could scrounge together enough change to make the subway trip to Yankee Stadium, buy the cheapest ticket available and bask in the aura of his favorite baseball team for a few hours. Little could Brandon have known then that one day his name would be linked with the team in an exclusive memorabilia partnership and that he’d own some very valuable pieces from that very stadium.-By the late 90s, Steiner Sports had dozens of employees and represented most of the big-name athletes in New York. It was about this same time that the company expanded its business focus to include marketing collectible items since the athletes Brandon was representing were already signing memorabilia pieces that he used for corporate gifts and to help acquire new clients for his company. In time, Brandon’s business partners and clients began requesting autographed items almost as often as they did appearances by the athlete themselves.-Brandon’s unprecedented partnership with the New York Yankees, announced in 2004, provided a way to offer fans authentic Yankees memorabilia and one-of-a-kind fantasy experiences at Yankee Stadium.-Since then, Steiner Sports has developed similar partnerships with Notre Dame Football, Syracuse Athletics and Madison Square Garden that bring fans closer to the games, as well as to the athletes themselves through various programs including meet-and-greets, speaking appearances, signed memorabilia (including game-used jerseys and equipment) and countless other products and services.-Learn more about Brandon: https://www.brandonsteiner.com/-Follow Brandon on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandonsteiner/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Steiner/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2yflSxpKnWG9SKPSKcMdKw?ab_channel=BrandonSteinerLinked IN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonsteiner/-BUY HIS BOOK TODAY: https://www.brandonsteiner.com/pages/living-on-purpose-stories-about-faith-fortune-and-fitness-that-will-lead-you-to-an-extraordinary-life-by-brandon-steiner-HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYBODY!
