People tend to inside-view slightly too hard, so I’d expect the experience of the FP/GWWC team working with high net worth people, and TLYCS working with celebrities, to be extremely valuable even if none of the HNW/celebs are sportspeople.
Also, at least some of the potential massive impact of HIA (and one of the reasons I’m most excited about it) is the huge platform Athletes have. That means that there wre two considerations when messaging to athletes: what message is most appealing to them, and what message is most appealing to a general audience once relayed by them. I would not be surprised if the best course of action was one which got slightly fewer athletes on board, but those athletes felt able to articulate a clear, positive message, which got a wider audience very excited about effective giving.
I agree that debating on the EAF with randoms like us isn’t a productive way of Marcus fine-tuning his messaging (even if we might be able to make some forecasts), but I’m excited to see that there’s some sort of collaboration with TLYCS, and I think talking to them, REG, GWWC, and FP would be a much better path than experimenting alone.
