In this episode, Ndamukong sits down with entrepreneur and No Free Lunch contributor Chris Lyons to explore how virtual reality is starting to enter the live sports experience. They look at Major League Baseball's recent deal with Gym Class VR-- a play to expand baseball's audience. With virtual ballpark access, interactive access to players, and online merch, MLB is hoping to attract younger digital natives to the game. But will VR deepen fan engagement enough to fill parks IRL? (disclosure: Chris is an investor in Gym Class VR)

Ndamukong sits down with CEO of Liquid Death, Mike Cessario, to learn how he built one of the fastest-growing water brands in the world. Since everyone already drinks water, Mike decided to disrupt the category --using a witty brand concept, a can instead of a plastic bottle, and an ad that went viral before he even had a product to sell. He says getting "cans in hands" at games is what caught the attention of fans, athletes, and team brass.
