There’s nothing this man can’t do. He can host, he can write, he can shoot and edit, he can produce, he’s a leader, a hustler, as genuine as they come and he makes an outstanding addition to any team.
Nick joined the show to share his personal journey and his professional journey through the sports journalism world, including stops at ESPN, being the Director of Creative Services for a minor league baseball club, numerous internships and freelance work, and of course, an esteemed showrunner at the University of Kentucky’s student radio station, WRFL.
Anybody that’s worked in the industry or anyone listening that knows someone who’s interested in working in the industry will benefit from listening to this episode.
Not only is Nick one of the most knowledgeable colleagues I’m proud to know, he speaks very candidly about the ups and downs of choosing this path, the perception vs. the reality of working at ESPN, what it was like making that leap from the worldwide leader, and much more.
We also have some lighter stuff in there too, like his favorite moment from one of the broadcasts he’s worked and other iconic sports memories.
And finally, Nick wraps things up with his realest talk, and it’s something everyone needs to hear.
Major shoutout to my boy right here for persisting down his path and being the Swiss Army Knife that he is, it’s been fun to watch and admire from where I’m sitting and here’s to many more accolades and celebrations, my friend.
