Jack Settleman is nine years into building Snapback Sports — and it's starting to feel like a breakthrough moment.

This week, Tyler and Jake sit down with the college football content creator to break down Season 2's numbers, unpack how he's approaching the newly-cleared NCAA jersey patch opportunity, and discuss what it looks like to scale a media brand while life gets more complicated. Plus, the guys debate whether legacy media and independent creators are actually competing — or just playing entirely different games.
