Titans on Tomorrow Ep. 4 - Fired With a Newborn to a $100 MILLION Sale to Fox - Clay Travis' Media Empire

Titans on Tomorrow Ep. 4 with guest Clay Travis In January 2011, Clay Travis turned his phone back on after a meeting and learned his employer no longer existed. He had a three-year-old, a baby, and a $45,000-a-year radio job. Six months later, he launched OutKick from a hotel room as a one-man band, writing every article and selling every ad. Ten years later, Fox bought it for a reported $100 million. Now he's launching a new sports media empire, in the age of AI. In Episode 4 of Titans on Tomorrow, Ben Shapiro sits down with Clay Travis, founder of OutKick, co-host of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show on more than 550 stations nationwide, and founder of the brand-new Sport & State, for a look at building a media business designed to win. Clay breaks down: • Why he turned down a Fox TV deal to become the next Skip Bayless • How one Super Bowl brought in $2 million in sports betting revenue • Why he thinks authentic human voices become MORE valuable as AI slop floods the internet • How he uses AI to sharpen his analysis instead of replacing it • The AI doom debate with his debate-champion son • Whether the sports leagues have finally learned to stay out of politics • Why billion-dollar franchises are now trophy paintings for the ultra-rich, and • The new Sport & State–Daily Wire partnership bringing Clay and Buck to DailyWire members - - - Subscribe to The Clay Travis Show on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@theclaytravis And also The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show: https://youtube.com/@clayandbuck And both are now available at Daily Wire too: https://www.dailywire.com/hosts/sport-and-state - - - Today's Sponsors: Golden Crest Metals - Right now GoldenCrest metals will send you a free investor kit, a free portfolio review, and up to $25,000 in free silver on qualifying purchases.
