Today’s episode is live — and it’s a powerful one.
I sat down with Luke Zaientz, CEO of Otto Sports AI — the smart operating system for youth sports.
Luke’s journey spans founding Reigning Camps (later acquired by IMG), operating at scale, and now building at the intersection of AI, youth development, and community infrastructure. He also serves as an operating partner at Rally Ventures.
But what makes this conversation different isn’t just the resume.
It’s the philosophy behind the work.
We explore:
- Why youth sports are one of the most underestimated categories in tech
- How AI can build confidence rather than replace human judgment
- What scaling really teaches you about leadership
- The long game of entrepreneurship — and family
Luke is also a father of two boys and has been married to Alice for 20 years. That perspective shapes how he thinks about building products that serve families, not just markets.
If you care about AI applied with intention, building durable companies, or the future of youth development, this episode is worth your time.
As always, I’d love to hear what resonates with you.
