About this episode

Colin is joined by Erika Ayers Badan, former CEO of Barstool Sports and author of the new book ‘Nobody Cares About Your Career’.

They start by diving into the reasons nobody cares about your career (3:00) and the first changes Erika made when she first arrived at Barstool (5:00). They get into the reasons why starting a business isn’t pretty (9:00) and she gives her definition of success (12:00).

Next, they debate the state of sports betting and the podcasting business (18:00) and talk about why it’s so important to be willing to grow (21:30). They discuss the problems with young people not being challenged enough (26:30) and how long you should commit to an enterprise before it returns a profit (33:00).

They weigh the downsides of “getting the bag” (36:00) and share their feelings on the state of the economy (40:00) and stories of big swings they took that missed (45:00). They wrap up the discussion by stressing the importance of knowing what your company is paying you to do (50:00) and knowing when to bail on an idea (53:30).

Finally, Colin gives his take on Donald Trump being found guilty on 34 felony counts and why the process wasn’t “rigged” (55:00).
