Living Sport Podcast

Today’s episode is all about esports and understanding the landscape of it. We have been hearing from a lot of you in the Living Sport Network that you are interested in a career in this rapidly growing sector of sport but you may not know where to start. Well, we went directly to the source and in this episode we chat with Pete Powell, Chief of Staff at Nerd St. Gamers, a national network of esports facilities and events dedicated to powering competitive opportunities for gamers. Nerd St. Gamers is a company that is just 3 years old and is making tremendous waves in the industry and luckily for you, they will be hiring for many positions around the country in the very near future. Throughout my career I have learned that there is no better time to get involved in an organization than when it is starting out. When businesses are just starting up they are always looking for extra hands that can help out. If you are that guy or that gal that is there from the beginning and adds value to the company, many times that volunteer work or that internship turns into a full-time job when the company begins to hire more people to grow their staff out. esports may not be just starting, but in the past few years it has seen tremendous growth and will be on the uprise for the foreseeable future. Let’s turn it over to Pete and learn about his role at Nerd St. Gamers.
