Do you ever wish you could give a big middle finger to your dead-end, 9-5 day job?
No more BS reports, no more infantile coworkers, no more absolute clown of a boss.
And instead of all that crap, you get paid to talk about topics you LOVE - baseball, reality TV, dogs, whatever.
Well good news, you can ditch the 9-5 and create content for a living.
The road ain't easy, but there are 7 Lessons I learned from a good friend who did exactly that.
He parlayed his passion for baseball into a full-time gig with Barstool Sports, the fastest growing and, arguably, most influential new media brand in the world.
In this episode I talk with Dave Williams, aka White Sox Dave, about his journey from dorm room blogger to breaking news on Twitter to leaving his day job to ultimately landing his dream job at Barstool.
You might be surprised to learn of 7 Lessons that stood out through the conversation:
- Hustle
- Know your audience
- Find your voice
- Play the long-game
- Failure isn't fatal
