Limpert Tech on iHeartRadio: Ken Goldin, Founder and CEO of Goldin Auctions, The Goldin Touch

Rick talks with Ken Goldin on ‘Tech of Sports’ this week.

Ken Goldin, TV personality?

Goldin may be the founder and CEO of Goldin Auctions, a leading marketplace for trading cards, collectibles and memorabilia, but he is reaching a new generation of people with the hit Netflix reality TV series, “King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch”.

He was a popular guy on the floor of The National and thankful for the success of the show.

“I love Netflix and I loved doing the show. I like that it has touched so many people. They told me it would be a small niche show, so I never would’ve thought it would reach millions of people around the world, different languages and I enjoyed doing it.”

Goldin is one of the most recognized figures in the collectibles industry and over the course of his career has sold more than $1.3 billion in memorabilia from many of the biggest names in sports, history, and pop culture. Goldin routinely sets records for the most expensive trading cards and other memorabilia passing through his auctions.

Limpert Tech on iHeartRadio: Todd Harple, Olympics AI Innovation Program Lead at Intel

Tech always plays a big role in the Olympics.

Rick is joined this week by Todd Harple, the Olympics AI Innovation Program Lead at Intel.

Intel is leading innovation at the Paris Games.

In his role, he is working to enhance the way sporting events are produced and experienced through novel applications of AI. He has over 17 years of experience and has led product and research development efforts at the cutting-edge interface between people, technology and business, leading the establishment of services and experiences that shape how we use technology today–connecting the physical and digital worlds–on a global scale.

Topics they cover include:

Utilizing AI for athletic training & identifying potential athletes in rural or developing countries using an AI app to find the next big stars

There will also be an on-the-ground demo in Paris for fans to use the AI tech to see what Olympic sport they’d be best suited for and how they compare to Olympic athletes

Intel and the IOC partnered with Senegal (a country that has only won one medal) using this tool to uncover aspiring athletes across 5 villages in Senegal bringing together 1,000 children with 40 identified as having “significant talent”

Empowering those who are visually impaired, navigate event venues using lidar and AI camera vision

Providing all athletes with an AI-powered Chatbot, that can answer complex athlete queries like questions about the IOC’s doping policy (i.e. would cold medicine be illegal for me to take before the event?) and media rights usage.

Limpert Tech on iHeartRadio: Rich Mueller, Sports Collectors Daily, on 2024 NSCC

With a week until the National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland, joined by Rick Mueller, editor of Sports Collectors Daily, to talk about the show and more.

This year, back in Cleveland, July 24-28, the National Sports Collectors Convention stands as an annual rendezvous for collectors, dealers, and all enthusiasts passionate about trading cards, autographs, and related memorabilia. In 1980, a small group of collectors convened in a modest hotel ballroom at the Los Angeles International Airport Marriott, marking the inaugural National Sports Collectors Convention.

Since those humble beginnings, The National has evolved into an extravagant, once-a-year event, now recognized as the premier showcase in the collectibles industry.To ensure the participation of collectors and exhibitors from across the nation, the founders made a visionary decision—the event would travel to different locations.

Rick and Rich talk about the show, Cleveland as a host city, what to look for and prices of various things, including autographs.

Going to be a huge week of sports collecting. Sports Collectors Daily will have all the coverage you can handle.

Mueller spent nearly 30 years as a television sports anchor and reporter and online journalist is President of Sports Collectors Daily Incorporated and the editor of SportsCollectorsDaily.com. He has earned numerous honors throughout his career including several prestigious Edward R. Murrow awards for sports reporting. Go to SportsCollectorsDaily.com to subscribe, for daily updates.

Limpert Tech on iHeartRadio: Dr. Steve Jasper, The Jet Lag Guy

Rick talks jet lag with expert, Dr. Steve Jasper this week.

Did you know that Olympic teams flying across multiple time zones can have their gold Olympic medal counts cut in half – or worse? And that the number of silver medals by Olympic medal teams actually increases when athletes travel long distances across multiple time zones – because athletes that were expected to win a gold medal come home with a silver one instead? Jet lag has a massive impact on the performance of athletes who travel. The difference between a gold and a silver medal is often measured in milliseconds, and jet lag is enough to have an effect.

Per Dr. Steve Jasper: “While I was researching my thesis in jet lag and executive performance, I decided to examine Olympic medal counts as a side project. After crunching the numbers for several decades’ worth of Olympic games, the results were crystal clear – jet lag has a definite and measurable impact on Olympic gold medal counts.”

There are three key things that can have a massive impact on transforming jet lag:

Know yourself – are you an owl or a fowl? Do you like to wake up at the crack of dawn, or at the crack of noon? There’s no guilt in honestly admitting you’re not a morning person – and that will affect how you manage your jet lag.

Flight direction – for most people, “east is a beast, west is best”. But for the real morning people among us, you might find it’s the other way around!

Sunlight – such a simple thing but getting outdoors for a few minutes in the middle of the day, or when you feel a bit drowsy, can reprogram the brain and wake you up.

Jasper is a recognized expert in the field of jet lag and executive performance, and is passionate about transforming the conversation around jet lag. His background was as a pharmacist, where he worked mainly in the hospital system before transferring to the pharmaceutical industry. He worked on several global clinical trials, and while working in a global HIV/AIDS trial he headed up a team with branches in San Francisco, Raleigh (North Carolina, USA), Cambridge (UK), São Paulo and Buenos Aires. He undertook lots of international travel in this role, and experienced firsthand the toll of jet lag.

After completing an executive MBA, Dr Jasper completed his PhD in international management, examining the impact of jet lag on business travelers, and he is regularly contacted by the media in all matters relating to jet lag, sleep, and performance.

As a result of his research, he is launching a suite of products to support business travelers in managing their jet lag. This includes a book, an app, workshops, and one on one coaching, as well as franchising products that alleviate jet lag. He is available for speaking engagements, and can work internationally either by video conferencing, or travel if required.
