Today we sit down with Scott Pederson of Positive Athlete. Scott has spent over 35 years of his career marketing some of the most high-profile events, corporations and celebrities in the world. He has staged a World Series, helped develop the National Football League’s most high-profile grass-roots event property (Punt, Pass & Kick), and negotiated endorsement contracts for professional athletes.
