Last week and weekend, I was in Atlanta supporting a HEITNER LEGAL client My Mixtapez at the A3C Festival & Conference. It was a blast to be there in attendance and meet many notable artists and labels in the hip-hop scene. Another exciting moment was accepting an invitation to lead a new sports business beat at Inc. Magazine. My first contribution should probably be up tomorrow. I’ve been staying busy with legal work and radio/TV appearances on developments in the daily fantasy sports industry. I will also be featured on Inside Edition this evening to discuss Lamar Odom’s financial situation. Here are some stories you may have missed over the past week:
