Passion to Profession: From Collector to Working for One of the Industry's Biggest Brands with Ryan Greene

Ryan Greene grew up chasing Shaq rookies and riding his bike to the local card shop. Today, he leads athlete and artist partnerships at PSA. In this episode of Passion to Profession (sponsored by eBay), we go deep on Ryan’s transition from hobbyist to operator at one of the most important companies in the space.

We talk about:

• What the 1998 SP Authentic set taught him about collecting
• Why he DM’d Nat Turner on a Sunday night—and how it changed everything
• The ups and downs of working in social during PSA’s backlog era
• What influence looks like inside PSA (spoiler: it's ripping wax with coworkers)
• How athletes like Bobby Witt Jr. are shaping the hobby
• What skills the hobby industry needs most right now

If you’ve ever dreamed about turning your passion into your profession, this episode is for you.
