– Has a Sonos sound system in six rooms continually playing oldies
- Callaway Golf VP/Sports Marketing Nick Raffaele

- Athlete & Event Sports PR President Chip Namias
– Especially enjoys pop culture from the '60s and '70s
- OneUp Sports VP/Content & Strategy John McCauley
– Content junkie for anything that creates a must-watch event
