Creator Conversations / Episode 4: Knowing Your Worth: Protecting Your Name, Image, and Likeness.

Name, Image, Likeness (NIL), originated in the sports world, has now become critical for creators and professionals with public profiles. Your name, image, and likeness aren’t just elements of your brand-they’re valuable assets that need protection. Our panel will dive into the complexities of NIL, uncovering what you may be giving up when you collaborate with brands, platforms, or partners. Without the right knowledge, you risk others taking advantage of your hard-earned reputation, or worse, misrepresenting who you are and what you stand for.
We’re bringing together an all-star panel featuring:
Courtney Carter - Chief Revenue Officer, Seattle Sounders FC & Seattle Reign FC
Conner Franta - Creator and Entrepreneur with over 20+ million followers across platforms
Dev Sethi - COO, Athletes.org
Ben Ebbrell - Co-Founder and Chef, Sorted Food
