Rich Take On Sports

Show Notes:

Rich Spotlight: Steak Shapiro

Has learned that people are passionate and emotional about food and sports

Friends are amazed that he has been talking the same smack for over 40 years and is getting paid for it

Grew up in Boston and lived and breathed the local sports teams even though his family was not a big sports family

Knew early on as a child that he wanted to be in sports talk radio and convinced a local station to let him be on the air at 13-years old

Attended Tulane University and eventually secured a job in Atlanta, however, he was fired shortly after moving to Atlanta

Secured an investment of $1 million dollars to start his own radio station at the age of 29-years old and would eventually sell 790 The Zone 17 years later

Has always been fascinated with food and decided to start Atlanta Eats to showcase local restaurants in Atlanta and ultimately founded another company Bread n Butter Content Studio

Alabama winning the SEC Championship with Jalen Hurts and Atlanta United galvanizing the city of Atlanta are two great sports stories

Words of Wisdom from Steak Shapiro: “Be in the moment without focusing on the next thing and work hard.”
