EP 40: Zach Best
Zach Best is General Manager and Founder at Fansided, recently acquired by Minute Media. We get into his Kansas City Chiefs fandom, how Fansided started with his brother, his thoughts on the industry and where things are headed.
We discussed:
- Career paths not being a straight line to where you end up. Zach came out of college in the Hospitality industry, decided that wasn’t for him and went and got his Masters in Secondary Education. While coaching and teaching he started Fansided with his brother and went full-time on Fansided after 5-years.
- How Fansided changed from inception to today, and after being acquired by Minute Media
- Centralized fan content coverage
- The opportunity Zach felt existed when launching Fansided
- The content Fansided focuses on, and how the company started in sports but has since broadened to entertainment
- Have fans changed with how they interact with teams?
- Sports Betting implications
- Why Zach thinks this year’s NFL outcome will be different than last year for the Chiefs
- The rise of niche sports
