Young Mind Big Ideas

What does it take to turn something you love into a career?

In this episode of Young Mind Big Ideas, I talked with Nick Ashooh, a sports broadcaster and the founder of Game Day Garage.

We talked about how he got started in sports media, why he loves broadcasting, and what it was like turning his passion for sports into a job. We also got into some NBA and NFL talk, including the Wizards, the Thunder, the GOAT debate, and our favorite teams.

One of my favorite parts was hearing how he built his own brand and why he thinks being yourself matters more than ever.

If you like sports, broadcasting, or hearing how people turn big dreams into reality, this one's for you. 🎧

In this episode, I sat down with Lee Willoughby, the co-founder of Bubty.

We talked about how he grew up playing soccer with big dreams, how some of the lessons he learned on the field helped him in business, and how he went from having an idea to building a company that was eventually acquired by Upwork.

We also got into some of the early decisions that helped shape the business, how they approached growth, and what it's really like to build something from the ground up.

It was pretty cool hearing how skills like teamwork, discipline, and thinking ahead can help whether you're playing sports or building a company.
