Summary: <br> Hey everybody, I’m Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning at <a href="http://WorkInSports.com">WorkInSports.com</a> and this is the Work in Sports podcast…<br> <br> <br> <br> A couple of quick housekeeping notes before we get into it today - sorry I missed last week’s episode, it was President’s day, which is technically a day off, but I would still usually create a podcast episode. <br> <br> <br> <br> Truth is, I didn’t have any fan questions that were really jiving with me, and it was snowing...so I had an epic snowball fight with my kids instead. Call me selfish -- I call it having balance. <br> <br> <br> <br> With that said our Monday episodes thrive off of your questions - I’m here to answer what you need and want to know about working in the sports industry so please send me your questions -- bclapp at workinsports.com -- that’s my direct email, don’t abuse it. Or you can message me on Linkedin, DM @workinsports on Twitter -- I will get your questions! <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> BTW - a side note if anyone out there is connected to Twitter support, our account was hacked in November, and our 25k followers stolen. Seriously, it still makes me want to cry - 10 years of work down the drain. We’ve filled out countless forms, I’ve reached out to multiple people in the industry, a couple of contacts at Twitter...nothing. No one is helping us. If you know anyone at Twitter who can help or have gone through this before -- this is my beg for help. I want our followers back. <br> <br> <br> <br> And last note before we get into the stat line -- the awesome guests keep coming. Coming up in the next few weeks ---<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/markgressjr/">Mark Gress Jr. Partner at Prodigy Search</a> --- an incredible recruiting agency for the sports industry<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-sutton-1678257/">Dr. Bill Sutton</a> -- Doc Sutton is one of the elite thought leaders in our industry and so many of my previous guests count him as a mentor. <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alibick/">Alison Bickford</a> - Director of Corporate Partnership Activation for the Seattle Kraken! <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericdstark/">Eric Stark</a> - Co-founder of Slate, a content creation platform for real-time social media used by the Golden State Warriors, Premier Lacrosse League, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, NYCFC.
