From Courtside to Coffee Shops: Fruitful Athlete Side Hustles

Athletes are adding more than trophies to their résumés: think coffee brands, college GM roles, children's books and pizza chains.

In this episode of Last Night’s Game, Amy and Scott unpack the side hustles making headlines (and money). From Steph Curry’s off-court gig at Davidson to Jimmy Butler’s Big Face Coffee to Shaq’s never-ending empire of food and fun, we’re talking about the business moves that are redefining what it means to be a modern athlete.

You’ll also hear:

- Why college sports teams now have general managers, and who’s taking the job

- The story behind athlete-authored kids' books (including one starring a squirrel)

- What Tom Brady is building in Vegas that isn’t a football team

- How broadcasting became the next big career move for retired pros

Smart stories worth repeating.


Sports Curious, presented by Last Night's Game, is here to take the awkwardness out of the conversation and help you join the sports conversation, even if you don't know the first thing about sports. We break down what's happening in sports in an easy-to-understand, fun way without all of the statistics and jargon, so you never have to exit stage left when the chatter at the office, dinner table or networking event switches to sports.
