The Brewers are two wins away from their first franchise title, and as the World Series shifts to Florida, Milwaukee made a historic imprint on it. I was at American Family Field for the first two games of the Fall Classic and saw fan passion that was anything but small-market in nature.

Where Conversations Get to Work
|
|
|
|
|
|
The best teams don’t just have more conversations. They turn those conversations into progress. But between back-to-back meetings, endless notes, and a growing list of follow-ups, it’s easy for great ideas to get lost in the shuffle.
|
|
Zoom is changing how work gets done with tools designed to help you move from conversation to finished work. That 4:59 Friday brainstorm? Monday’s slide deck is ready by 5:02 with ZoomMate. That 9 a.m. meeting you were barely awake for? A clear summary, complete with key decisions and suggested next steps, lands in your inbox with My Notes. And that “one more thing” at the end of the call? It’s already reflected in the project plan.
|
|
It’s a smarter way to work—designed to help you move from talking about what needs to happen to actually getting it done.

That’s the amount that a group of LIV athletes are owed by the renegade golf circuit. They were offered roughly two cents on the dollar amid bankruptcy proceedings, but the golfers are now seeking a larger “severance” payment, The Athletic reported Sunday. The group, led by Dustin Johnson, includes at least ten golfers. They’re appealing directly to Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, which poured $6 billion into the league before abruptly pulling the plug.

— Jaylen Brown, who has continued to snipe at Jayson Tatum after the Celtics shipped him to Philadelphia. Tatum claimed in a recent video that he was unaware that the Brown-Paul George trade was coming; Brown responded by suggesting Tatum was lying. After Saturday’s win over the Bucks, Brown added that Tatum had a “hell of a PR team.”
|
|
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla tried to move past it Sunday, saying the team was focused on Tatum and that “nobody is perfect.”

Turning Soccer’s Moment Into Momentum
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 2026 World Cup brought unprecedented attention to soccer across North America, but for Major League Soccer, the bigger opportunity is what comes next as the league continues to sustain historically high fan demand. With record growth across attendance, viewership, social, digital engagement, player investment, and fan acquisition, MLS is entering its next chapter with momentum that extends well beyond the tournament.
|
|
For brands, that creates an opportunity to build lasting connections with a young, diverse, and increasingly engaged fan base. Chime is among those betting on that trajectory, using its MLS partnership to connect with fans through tentpole events, player-led storytelling, community activations, and experiences designed to make the brand part of the culture surrounding the league.
