Q7: Favorite parts - industry
What do you enjoy most about being in this specific industry?
Our industry as a whole is sports, and I love sports. I played sports my entire life. It's fun, it's exciting.
I love being a part of the sports world and keeping that part of my life still alive. I think that's a really nice thing to keep with myself.
Honestly, I would say getting to work with a variety of sized businesses. We get to work with some professional sports teams, which are large organizations. And then I get to work with a single entrepreneur who's running their company and needs tools to grow their business.
I think it's really fascinating working with all of them, because sports is such a massive industry. So it's really interesting.
