In January 2011, Clay Travis turned his phone back on after a meeting and learned his employer no longer existed. He had a three-year-old, a baby, and a $45,000-a-year radio job. Six months later, he launched OutKick from a hotel room as a one-man band, writing every article and selling every ad. Ten years later, Fox bought it for a reported $100 million.
Now he's launching a new sports media empire, in the age of AI.
In Episode 4 of Titans on Tomorrow, Ben Shapiro sits down with Clay Travis, founder of OutKick, co-host of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show on more than 550 stations nationwide, and founder of the brand-new Sport & State, for a look at building a media business designed to win. Clay breaks down:
• Why he turned down a Fox TV deal to become the next Skip Bayless
• How one Super Bowl brought in $2 million in sports betting revenue
• Why he thinks authentic human voices become MORE valuable as AI slop floods the internet
• How he uses AI to sharpen his analysis instead of replacing it
• The AI doom debate with his debate-champion son
• Whether the sports leagues have finally learned to stay out of politics
• Why billion-dollar franchises are now trophy paintings for the ultra-rich, and
• The new Sport & State–Daily Wire partnership bringing Clay and Buck to DailyWire members
