I’m Wes Goldberg and you’re listening to All The Right Things, the podcast where I talk with the best writers, bloggers, freelancers, media professionals about their journey, their craft and their advice for those hoping to make a living like they do.
Your listening to the second episode. And if you’re wondering who I am, I’m a freelance sports writers and podcaster, obviously, trying to make a job out of what I love. One of the reasons I started this podcast is to help me do that, and while I’m at it I’ll help you.
On today’s Episode I talk with Chris Reichert. Chris has created a niche for himself as a foremost expert on the NBA’s D-League.
Finding a niche is incredibly important in today’s crowded sports writing scene, and I talked with Chris about how he found his niche and has made a name for himself. In fact, Chris recently got a shout out from Brent Barry during the live broadcast of the NBA’s D-League All-Star game on NBATV.
There’s a reason I wanted to make this one of my first episodes, and that’s because Chris’s mindset of how to find his niche and then fully commit to it, is something I encourage all writers to think about. You can follow Chris on Twitter @Chris_Reichert and read his work at The Step Back. Thank you for listening to All The Right Things.
