Jared Harman went from working play-by-play in Canadian hockey to founding The One Group Agency, now a 16-person marketing agency serving clients across North America and beyond. On this episode of the Elevate Collection Podcast, Jared breaks down what it actually takes to build a marketing agency that lasts, why chasing short-term ROI kills long-term brand loyalty, and the three questions he asks every client before building a strategy.

Jared also gets real about the failures that led him to entrepreneurship, why he believes most "marketing problems" are actually leadership problems in disguise, and how his agency is building an AI ecosystem to stay ahead without losing the human element clients actually pay for.

In this episode:

• Jared's path from family restaurant business to hockey broadcasting to founding a marketing agency
• Lessons learned from two failed business ventures before The One Group Agency
• Why short-term ROI thinking destroys brand loyalty (and what to do instead)
• How to build a content strategy across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn on any budget
• The 3 questions every company needs answered before building a marketing plan
• Why most marketing failures actually start in leadership, not the marketing team
• How AI is changing agency work without replacing the people clients trust
• Jared's definition of legacy: being a good human, not just a good CEO

He has an engineering degree. He's a top 100 attorney. And his name is on his son's birth certificate — under "Delivered By."

Because Niv Davidovich caught his baby like a football in the back of a Lexus sedan, two minutes from his house, outside a Whole Foods, on a Friday night. It made international news. ABC had a helicopter circling. Uber sent a onesie.

And then he went back to being one of California's most sought-after real estate attorneys.

We sat down with Niv Davidovich on the Elevate Collection Podcast — landlord-tenant litigator, real estate law expert, and one of the most direct, no-nonsense voices on what's actually happening inside California's housing crisis. Niv connects with over 4,000 real estate professionals on LinkedIn — and he's earned it, because he talks like a person, not a credential.

This episode is equal parts wild storytelling and real estate education that every athlete, investor, agent, and property owner needs to hear.

In this episode we get into:

— The full story of delivering his son in an Uber outside a Whole Foods on the Sabbath (yes, really)
— Why Uber PR was all over it — and what he actually got in return ($250 in credits and a onesie)
— How athletes and entertainers should be structuring LLCs and trusts to protect their real estate privacy
— Why owning property in California is no longer a side hustle — it's NFL playoffs with your team losing
— The landlord vs. tenant war playing out in LA, NYC, Seattle, and DC right now
— Squatters, fake leases written on ChatGPT, and why the police can't help you
— The machete story (yes, there's a machete story)
— How a city councilman changed an eviction law mid-case — and why Niv has the recording to prove it
— Why California says it wants affordable housing and then makes it nearly impossible to build
— What he'd change if he could tear the whole system down and rebuild it from scratch
— His family's journey from the USSR — and why he's fighting to make sure those ideas don't come back
— Why you should call a real estate attorney before you buy, not after

"Owning property in Los Angeles right now is like being in the NFL during playoffs with your team not doing so well. This is not a side hustle. If you're not prepared for it, you are going to get run over." — Niv Davidovich

This is what the Elevate Collection Podcast is built for — bringing you into rooms where the real conversations happen, with people who tell you the truth.

The recruiting journey can feel like a maze built out of opinions, pressure, and expensive “helpers” who may not have your best interests at heart. From Hamptons Tech Week at the Montauk Yacht Club, we sit down with Jimmy Marshall, founder of PAVE, to talk about the one advantage that changes everything for a young athlete: real access to someone who has already done what you’re trying to do.

Jimmy draws from his own path as a former Division I basketball player at Northeastern University and explains how early exposure to high-level athletes forced him to take his craft seriously. Now, with NIL reshaping college sports and the rules changing constantly, he sees families struggling to find trustworthy, verified experience. That gap creates risk for athletes and parents alike: wasted time, wasted money, and decisions made without clear feedback from people who have actually navigated the process.

We get into how PAVE works, why Jimmy describes it as “Airbnb and Cameo for sports,” and what mentorship looks like when it’s practical, direct, and paid for transparently. He also shares his sharpest guidance for recruits: the best advice is often what not to do, because avoiding the wrong paths can be more valuable than copying someone else’s playbook. If you care about youth sports, college recruiting, NIL, athlete mentorship, and protecting families from a predatory marketplace, this conversation will give you a clearer lens and a real next step.

"Fully follow your heart. It's an easy thing to say — but when you really get down to it, it will guide you to where you need to go."

That's the kind of wisdom that only comes from someone who's actually done it. Twice.

We're coming to you live from Hamptons Tech Week 2026 at Montauk Yacht Club, and this episode is one you didn't see coming — in the best way.

Justin Eldridge spent two decades as a professional skateboarder — traveling the world, building influence, and learning more about people than most ever will. Then he found golf. And then food. And what he's building now at the intersection of all three is something the industry has never seen.

Meet Golf With Flavor — and its food and beverage arm, House of Flavor — a brand rooted not in sport, but in people. Community. Connection. And doing it all together.

In this episode we get into:

— Two decades as a pro skateboarder and what the road actually teaches you about people
— How Justin walked into brand collaborations without even mentioning skateboarding — and still closed the room
— Why he believes money is the wrong goal — and what to chase instead
— The pivot from skateboarding to golf, and why golf is far more diverse than people think
— Golf With Flavor and House of Flavor — what he's building and why it matters
— Why he took peer counseling four times in high school and how it shaped everything
— His hot take: you can be selfish — if you want the right things for everyone
— Why winning alone sucks, and what it really means to build something together
— The no-asshole policy and why Elevate Collection and Justin are cut from the same cloth

"Winning alone sucks. We all gotta win together."

That's the whole game. And Justin Eldridge is playing it right.

This is what the Elevate Collection Podcast was built for — real conversations with people who are doing it differently, filmed live from the rooms most people never get access to.

Opportunity rarely announces itself. It shows up fast and it rewards the people who did the work before anyone was watching. From Hampton’s Tech Week, we sit down with Annette Parker, a Brooklyn-based brand consultant focused on small business growth and founder-led brands, and she brings a message we keep coming back to: research and preparation change everything.

Annette breaks down what “do your research” really means when you’re building a brand, finding clients, and trying to grow with intention. We talk about how founders can build a legacy while they’re still in the messy middle of building the business, and why authenticity is not a soft idea but a practical strategy. Annette also shares how her faith in Christ grounds her purpose and shapes the example she wants to set through her work.

And yes, we make space for a spicy take: Annette’s hill to die on is that audiobooks aren’t reading. It’s funny, but it also reveals something deeper about having a clear point of view and the confidence to stand by it, which matters more than ever for personal branding and modern marketing.

If you’re growing a consulting business, refining your brand strategy, or trying to lead with purpose without losing momentum, you’ll get practical reminders and real encouragement here. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a founder who needs it, and leave a review telling us: what’s the one principle you’ll never compromise on?

"If you're fortunate enough to eat three meals a day — make them as delicious as possible, and do it with the people you love."

That's not just cooking advice. That's a life philosophy. And it's exactly the kind of wisdom that flows when the room is right.

What happens when a musician-turned-Netflix chef and the Elevate Collection sit down together at the most exclusive table in the Hamptons? You get this episode.

We're coming to you live from Hamptons Tech Week 2026 at Montauk Yacht Club — and for our very first episode, we sat down with Chef Dennis Prescott: Netflix host, cookbook author, content creator with over 800K followers, and one of the most joyful storytellers in the food and culture world.

But this wasn't just a podcast interview. Before we hit record, we were invited to an exclusive private dining experience hosted by Bounty Uncharted — the Cannes award-winning Hamptons docuseries created by tech entrepreneur and avid fisherman Jeff Ragovin, where the catch of the day becomes the meal of a lifetime. Fresh-caught seafood, open water, elite company — and Dennis was one of the chefs cooking for us. That energy carried straight into our conversation.

What we get into:

— The journey from musician to Netflix host to global culinary brand
— What it really takes to build an audience of 800K+ and keep them engaged
— Why food is really about service — and why that's where the joy lives
— The business of food, influence, and showing up as your most authentic self
— The growing hunger for community that's been building since 2020
— How he's expanding into sports and lifestyle to unlock new brand partnerships
— Why cooking more makes you care more — about your food, your community, your world
— The one meal that still sets the benchmark for him (his mom's pizza — he hasn't found better)
— And what it truly means to cook for connection, not just content

As Dennis puts it: "When everyone takes their first bite and it gets a little bit louder — I fell in love with that moment. Food is all about the people gathered around the table."

This is what Elevate Collection was built for — curating elite rooms, capturing culture, and bringing you inside moments most people only dream about.

You can learn a lot about modern sports by watching what happens before college. Mick Hamilton has lived it from multiple angles: college football recruiting, the first wave of NIL deals, and now the co-founding of The Sevens Football, an invite-only 7-on-7 tournament in Atlanta built to spotlight the top high school athletes in the country. We talk with Mick about why football players are often tougher to market than basketball players, and how intentional athlete branding can change what opportunities look like long before signing day.

We break down what seven-on-seven football actually is, why it’s become the spring battleground for elite skill-position talent, and how The Sevens creates a true showcase environment with media, energy, and a fan experience that feels more like a big-time event than a typical youth sports weekend. Mick shares the strategy behind keeping the tournament selective, donating $20,000 to winning programs, and building sponsor value through both ticket sales and massive organic reach, including a landmark MaxPreps partnership and millions of video views.

The conversation goes deeper than highlights and stats. Mick gets honest about the startup reality, the pressure of looking bigger than you are, and the lessons that come from negotiating vendors, earning trust, and refusing to quit when things get messy. We also look ahead to the future: girls flag football, boys flag football, and why the road to the 2028 Olympics could make women’s flag football one of the smartest bets in youth sports right now.

If you care about high school football exposure, NIL, sports marketing, or building a modern sports business, listen through and tell us what part of Mick’s story hit home. Subscribe, share this with a sports parent or founder friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

A role can open doors, but a single “no” can protect your future. We’re joined by actor Aspen Kennedy for a candid conversation about faith, purpose, and the real-life decisions that shape a creative career when the timeline feels uncertain. Aspen shares how he found acting almost by accident, why mentorship matters, and what it meant to come full circle in the industry through projects like Queen Sugar.

We also dig into the deeper stuff: influence, humility, and why storytelling is not just entertainment when you’re trying to leave a legacy. Aspen talks about The Forge and the unexpected reach it had across countries and cultures, plus the responsibility that comes with being “graced” to do work that touches people. If you care about values-driven work, Christian faith in Hollywood, and using a platform to edify others, this conversation stays practical without getting performative.

One of the most moving parts is Aspen’s personal testimony around forgiveness and obedience in private, and how God used that heart work to prepare him for a bigger assignment on screen. We also unpack scarcity mindset and career boundaries, including how to turn down opportunities that don’t align with your vision, even when you need the money or momentum.

Listen, share this with a friend who’s in a waiting season, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next. If our conversations help you, leave a review and tell us what part hit home.
