Every student athlete hears about NIL. Very few get a playbook that actually works. Most athletes have no content strategy, no marketing support, and no clue what brands look for when they check a social media page. Peter Iwuh built Tykoon AI to rewrite that playbook. The mobile platform works as an AI marketing strategist in your pocket, taking your sport, school, interests, and goals and building a personalized content plan that tells you what to post and when. One early user was too camera-shy for TikTok. Tykoon AI adapted and helped him hit over 2 million views.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Peter Iwuh about his path through helping a single peer athlete at Morgan State University, co-founding one of the first Black-owned NIL agencies, and ultimately building Tykoon AI. Peter breaks down how the platform personalizes strategy for each athlete, why parents are stepping in as "mom managers" and "dad managers," how his team trains the AI with cultural awareness, and where the platform is headed as it expands into the broader creator economy.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
