0:00.0	On this episode of Playbook, I have Jim Heather, CEO of HypeRice, one of the fastest growing
0:05.2	and best places to work in sports. And we're going to talk about how during the pandemic,
0:10.5	he was able with his team to create partnerships with almost every major league and organization
0:18.2	in the world. Join me for all this and more on the Playbook.
0:22.4	This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook. For each week, I bring you some of the greatest
0:27.0	athletes, celebrities and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional
0:32.6	playbook to success and what made them champions on the field and in the boardroom.
