The Render and Repeat Podcast

This Friday we're joined by Julian Deguzman. Julian is a basketball photographer/videographer who grew up in the Bay Area with a love for the sport. He is one of the many talented creators driving the culture of the sport forward with his work. Basketball sits at the nexus of music, culture, and fashion, and we were thrilled to bring on a creator with first hand experience creating and helping shape the culture surrounding the sport. Julian has shot for major brands like Bleacher Report, Overtime and Ball Is Life, as well as photographed some of the biggest stars in the sport including LeBron James, Bronny James, Mikey Williams, and rapper YG.

This episode we're joined by Leo The Creator, a Digital Content Coordinator at the University of Minnesota.

Unsure of what to do after he graduated college, Leo took up videography and quickly fell in love with the craft. The only problem? He was making no money. Even today, Leo still remembers when he only had 10 cents in his bank account, and when he was forced to move back home with his parents. And, the struggle didn't stop there. Before his first real video job, Leo applied to over 80 college programs, without a response. His story exemplifies grit, perseverance, and unwavering dedication to his craft, and we were so grateful that he was willing to share it with us.

This week we're joined by Ailish Forfar. While she might describe herself as a washed-up pro hockey player in her Instagram bio, Ailish is an ivy-league graduate, has worked for every major Canadian sports media company, and most recently hosted a digital talk-show with none other than Steve Dangle. Not a big deal.

We spend the bulk of this conversation talking about the present day challenges facing women's sports, and the role that media coverage plays in growing the game. Women's sports have historically been hampered by a lack of interest from broadcast networks. So, what will it take for women's sport to go mainstream today? If the traditional networks won't take a more active role in spotlighting women's sports, we asked: how can the players use new digital channels to build attention and momentum for their sport?

One of the most exciting insights that came out of this conversation was the opportunity being created by platforms like TikTok, or Youtube, for the players themselves to elevate the attention given to their game. You no longer need a camera crew, or production team to put good content out into the world. So, in the spirit of empowering creators, we challenged Ailish — as someone who is both an ex-pro player, and someone who works in media — to share some of the reasons that hold her back from creating and sharing content to grow the game.

This week, we're joined by digital strategist, and agency owner Victoria Morton. Victoria helps small-businesses, and public-speakers share their story on digital platforms through her company, Decker Creative Strategy. In this episode, we talk through our strategies for building brands on digital, why going viral isn't a strategy, and how businesses can attract more customers with the counter-intuitive approach of giving their best content away for free. 

Content marketing has become top-of-mind for every business, regardless if you work in finance or eCommerce. Finding and engaging with your customers online has become the table-stakes in our new digital world. So what works? And more importantly, what doesn't? Victoria turns the conversation to us, and we chat through some of the strategies, tactics, and philosophies we use for clients and in growing our own podcast.

This week, we're joined by Moose Bendago. Moose works at a bunch of interesting places including the Athlete Tech Group, Bardown, the Toronto Raptors, and his own project Moose Media. From content creator, to editor, and podcast host, Moose wears many hats, and had lots to share about how hockey culture can evolve and attract new fans, how athletes are turning into brands, and how they can create content to engage with their audience, and finally the struggles of creating content for your own brand, and the challenges that solo-creators must overcome to build something meaningful. From working with the Raptors when they won an NBA Championship, to interviewing Canadian Olympians, this conversation doesn't disappoint.
