In this episode of the SLN Podcast, Chad Capellman had a chance to re-connect with Jim Brady, the person who hired Chad for his first online job when he was the sports editor for the just-launched WashingtonPost.com. Jim is currently CEO of the consulting firm Spirited Media, and in between has held roles that included Executive Editor of washingtonpost.com, Editor in Chief of Digital First Media, General Manager of TBD, Head of News and Sports for America Online, and public editor of ESPN from 2015 to 2018. Jim looked back on some of the more free-wheeling days at WashingtonPost.com ahead of a 25th anniversary reunion. They also talked about how local publications should think about measuring success, the generational divide from both a journalistic and a digital perspective, his favorite management lesson, the value of extended road trips, when being cursed at can be a good thing and how, as a NY Jets fan, he has dealt with the infamous Butt Fumble game.
