'The Athlete Creator', a 7-part podcast content series highlighting the opportunities within the Creator Economy for athletes. The creator economy is the monetization of content through social media. Currently there are 50 million creators participating in the creator economy and the industry is estimated to be worth over $100B.  As athletes receive 3.3x more engagement on social media than a regular user, there is a massive opportunity for athletes to capitalize on their influence within their immediate community. It’s our goal to highlight these opportunities and give actionable advice on how athletes can start building an audience online today.  

New episodes with industry leaders (listed below) within the sports and content world will be released weekly, starting November 1st @ 830pm EST across all podcast platforms.
