Join Lauren, as she chats with Eric Wilson, a sports media and business professional that lives by the statement, "Everyday is an opportunity to grow." 

Eric Wilson comes from an unconventional background that not many individuals would have imagined. Eric molded his own path within the sports industry and he is not stopping. Listen in, because Eric Wilson is NO ordinary Videographer/Editor for the local News station. For over 5-years, Eric has produced his very own Podcast, The Sports Arena and more recently has taken a back seat when he is with his team. That does not stop him, Eric travels regularly, not only to support but to interview the WNBA 2021 Champions, the Chicago Sky. Check out one of his recent interviews with Candance Parker & Kahleah Copper, with Eric Wilson & The Sports Arena. 

Additionally, Eric Wilson is the Director of Sports Media (and Live Streaming) for the National Scouting Combine. 

Eric Wilson has proven to us, and the industry, that if you have the ambition and the drive to work in the sports industry, then go out there and do it. He made his own career path, and he's not finished because everyday is an opportunity.

Welcome to Making It In Sports... Intro w/ Lauren B. 

Join your content creator, topic innovator and podcast host, Lauren B, as she introduces the purpose and inspiration of the Making it in Sports Podcast. 

This Podcast is intended for current, future and likeminded sports aspiring leaders. Whether you know the specific role, title, or even sector of sports... or not, this Podcast is intended to enlighten all audience members with differentiating and unconventional content, as each episode will portray a new perspective on a sports career. 

Most college students feel rewarded once completing their undergrad or graduate degree, however, the true reward comes from the creation of each individuals sports journey. No two sports career journeys are the same, which is what differentiates our personal uniqueness and the sports role we will ultimately create. 

A career in sports, no matter the title; athlete, coach, operations, events, marketing, in addition to each and every other sector within sports. They all have something in common. They all require a true commitment. Time commitment, and monetary commitment. The sports industry was not formed by loly-gaggers, or half ass workers. Sports on all levels is competitive, so the question is, how will each of you set yourself apart from the competition? How will you differentiate yourself within the industry, ultimately, creating a career tailored to YOU!

The purpose of this podcast is to share the stories of others, ones that were in the same position, each of you are in. They to questioned themselves.

We look forward to sharing, networking and getting to know all our listeners.
