  • #21: Positioning Yourself for Success | Andrew Haines, Sport Industry Entrepreneur

    Today’s guest is Andrew Haines, a guy that wears many hats in the industry from owning sports teams to working for franchise teams, and everywhere in between. Andrew and I really connected because he has a true passion for seeing young professionals grow in the industry, and you know I love to see that!

    We’ll dive into his unique story of how he got into owning multiple sports teams, which is a common answer when I ask the interview question of “What is your dream job in sports?”. Lots of young professionals mention owning a team and we will hear just how Andrew made that happen.

    We will also talk about getting involved and doing things in the industry that other people aren’t doing because you have to do what others aren’t to get noticed. 

    Before we begin, I want to remind you to please subscribe to our podcasts and rate it 5 stars. Also follow us on social at @iamlivingsport. To learn more about Living Sport and the amazing sport business programs we offer, visit us at livingsport.com.

  • #20: How to Get a Job in Esports | Pete Powell, Nerd St. Gamers
    Today’s episode is all about esports and understanding the landscape of it. We have been hearing from a lot of you in the Living Sport Network that you are interested in a career in this rapidly growing sector of sport but you may not know where to start.
    Well, we went directly to the source and in this episode we chat with Pete Powell, Chief of Staff at Nerd St. Gamers, a national network of esports facilities and events dedicated to powering competitive opportunities for gamers. Nerd St. Gamers is a company that is just 3 years old and is making tremendous waves in the industry and luckily for you, they will be hiring for many positions around the country in the very near future.
    Throughout my career I have learned that there is no better time to get involved in an organization than when it is starting out. When businesses are just starting up they are always looking for extra hands that can help out. If you are that guy or that gal that is there from the beginning and adds value to the company, many times that volunteer work or that internship turns into a full-time job when the company begins to hire more people to grow their staff out. esports may not be just starting, but in the past few years it has seen tremendous growth and will be on the uprise for the foreseeable future.
    Let’s turn it over to Pete and learn about his role at Nerd St. Gamers.

    We have been saying for the last few months how important it is to keep busy during this time. Whether you want to hear it or not, one of the most popular upcoming interview questions for the next year will be “How did you make the most out of the time you had during quarantine?” And guess what, interviewers are going to hear some great stories.

    If you are not prepared for that question just yet, you are in luck! The best thing you can do if your stuck on what it is you should do, is be inspired by others! Listen to their story and open your mind to all the possibilities.
