The speakers

The Sport and Entertainment Management M.B.A. program at USF brought in four speakers for its second annual USF Sport & Entertainment lecture series earlier this month. Sponsored by Fox Sports Florida and the Tampa Bay Lightning, the speakers included an agent, a pro sports team owner, a show business CEO and a college professor who integrates technology with entertainment. Each speaker chatted with students about their careers, setbacks, overcoming obstacles and lessons learned. The following are some of their nuggets of wisdom.
