Tony Conley is a newer content contributor and show host for Michigan Business Network. To wrap up his twenty-eighth episode, Tony has a three-segment conversation about Pickleball, the game, the sport, the growth of participation, expansion into leagues, and where this is all leading, along with how the media deals with all of it.   

He welcomes Stacie Townsend a former student-athlete that has evolved into an attorney-entrepreneur-advocate-author-coach-athlete.

Listen to Stacie and Tony's conversation by clicking on the PodCast playlist below!

 
 At her core, Stacie is a dealmaker that has brought over $1 billion in deals to a successful close, all while playing pickleball, finding ways to be creative, and striving to live her best life in Palm Beach.
 
Stacie is currently a business attorney in West Palm Beach, Florida, with Gunster, Yoakley & Stewart, P.A. (which has been dubbed Florida's law firm for business). She advises executives and business, including technology and entrepreneurial companies, across the globe on any issue they may encounter from start-up to exit. In addition to advising on day-to-day matters, such as corporate governance, compliance, and commercial agreements (including vendor, customer, employee, software, and licensing agreements), Stacie has extensive experience in buying and selling companies with enterprise values as small as $100,000 to as large as $500 million.
Before her legal career, Stacie graduated number one in her class at the University of Iowa College of Law.
Stacie inherited her love of business and entrepreneurial spirit from her mother, Elizabeth Townsend, who worked for Little Caesars Pizza for 40 years and was one of the visionaries behind Little Caesar's "Hot-N-Ready Pizza." With her undergraduate and graduate degrees in business, Stacie was inspired to start her first business after working with countless entrepreneurs as their legal advisor. Her first business, a pickleball brand called Pickler (www.thepickler.com ), was, and still is, a passion project for Stacie, which was started to give her pickleball-addicted parents some pickleball-specific attire for the pickleball courts. Pickler has now evolved into a pickleball advocacy and educational platform.

Media Business, hosted by Tony Conley. As a media veteran with more than 25 years of working experience working in television, radio, print, and social media platforms, Tony and his guests will explore the business of the media. Does the media care about journalistic integrity, proper reporting, making profits, telling all sides of every story? Is the media now an opinion based entity focused on its own agenda and do they favor sides? How does the media influence business and how does business influence the media? What are the solutions to the frenzy of Media Madness? Media Business will present all sides of these stories and let you decide.
