Avery Owens (FanDuel, MKTG, Octagon) is a graphic designer, father, and husband. Avery joins Stick to Sports Biz to discuss the marketing crash course he got working at agencies early in his career, how theater and improv helped him be quick on his feet, and his spicy takes on Taco Bell. Avery and Brandon explore whether a New York Giants fan and Philadelphia Eagles fan can co-exist, the ups and downs of parenthood amid a pandemic, and a mutual appreciation for the way Kid Cudi changed hip-hop.
