Turner has been a technology leader since they helped the NBA set up their first website in the web1.0 era.
In 2015, they began their exploration of blockchain and are now pushing new ground in the space.
In this conversation, Robbie & Carly talk to Yang about how to build an innovative corporate culture, Yang’s biggest learnings from his more than 5 years experimenting in the blockchain space, the ways sports NFTs will fundamentally change fan engagement, and, of course, why they chose to partner with Immutable X.
