In this episode of Off Road with Frank Ferraro, Frank sits down with longtime college football coach and author Jay Paterno for a candid conversation about leadership under pressure and the transformation of college athletics into big business.

Jay shares what he’s witnessed from inside major institutions — from NIL and the transfer portal to mental health challenges, donor influence, and the erosion of the traditional “student-athlete” model. Drawing from his new novel Blitz, he explains why today’s system is colliding with new incentives, new money, and very real consequences.

This is not a highlight-reel discussion.
It’s an inside look at how power, accountability, and economics are reshaping the future of college football.

🎧 Topics include:
• NIL and the business of college sports
• Mental health pressures on players and coaches
• Institutional politics and donor influence
• The future of college football and what must change

📘 Blitz is available on Amazon and major booksellers.

In this episode, Frank and Andrea sit down with Brian J. Esposito, CEO of Diamond Lake Minerals and founder of Esposito Intellectual Enterprises. Brian has built partnerships across dozens of industries, and this conversation takes a grounded, honest look at what’s actually happening in the world of tokenization and digital assets.

⭐ What We Talk About

• Tokenization is Growing Up

Brian shares what he saw at the Futuristic Blockchain Conference — from banks and large corporations stepping into the space to how the crowds and conversations have become far more mature than in years past.

• Real Use Cases, Not Hype

The discussion dives into where tokenization really makes sense right now:
travel, hospitality, ticketing, financial services, and businesses looking to open their doors to a global audience.

• How Ownership is Changing Worldwide

Brian explains how tokenization allows people anywhere — even with just a basic smartphone — to own pieces of real assets. It’s creating new opportunities and closing gaps that used to exist between big investors and everyone else.

• The Governance Piece

Frank brings up how governance structures are developing in the crypto world, and how similar they are to the corporate systems we’ve used for decades. The conversation covers voting, restrictions, and why smart contracts have to be thought out carefully from day one.

• Tokenizing Water & Global Impact

Brian shares one of the most meaningful projects he’s involved in — using tokenization to help deploy water treatment systems faster and at lower cost. This part of the conversation shows how blockchain can go beyond speculation and actually solve real problems.

• AI, Community & What’s Next

Andrea ties in how AI is speeding things up across industries, and how combining AI, blockchain, and community could reshape the pace of innovation.

💬 A Few Standout Moments

• “Tokenization is just the next evolution of money.”
• “Smart contracts are like building foundations — you can’t change the basement later.”
• “Fractional ownership gives people access to things they never imagined they could own.”
• “Tokenizing clean water infrastructure can change entire regions.”
