Seth sat down with SBC Global Relationships Director Kelly Kehn for a fascinating chat on Seth's life and career history, including mentoring young entrepreneurs, his time working at a tribal casino, his spell as Chief Innovation Officer at PointsBet, to his current role at FSG Digital and the launch of Jefebet.com, a new Spanish-language media portal and sports betting site aimed at the Latino population of the USA.

Seth also discussed his own personal heroes and mentors, what he's learned to do and not to do, and highlighted some key names who've had an impact on his career, including FSG supremo Seth Schorr.

Young told Kelly about caddying for Mario Lemieux as a kid, why he loves Colorado (golf and skiing on the same day?), and of course introducing her to his Shih Tzu puppy, Hank! Finally the two discussed NFTs, the Metaverse, and living in the digital world.
