Ethan Strauss went from working seven days a week and falling asleep on the train to Coney Island to one of the most popular sports newsletters on Substack.
He visited The Unspeakable and we talked about sports media and how it has been captured by elite media and lost touch with its core audience as a result. We also talk about the difference between men’s and women’s sports when it comes to business and marketing and who is driving the voice of sports institutions.
In the bonus, we talk about Ethan’s age (obviously), and his article “All Hail The Model,” which reveals his secrets to success but gave me anxiety.
