Interviews:
1) The first person I interviewed was my roommate who is a huge Barstool fan. I went into this interview expecting him to say this is a copycat and Barstool Sports is the greatest thing of all-time. He actually happened to like my idea and was too also frustrated that barstool sports have swayed away from sports, him being a huge fan of Barstool just shows that everyone has noticed Barstool became something they weren't meant to be.
2) This interview was with a 22-year-old college woman, she happens to not follow sports, but believes this could be a "Howard Stern" innovation to sports broadcasting. This is something I found to be very kind and awesome to hear, Howard Stern changed radio, Sirius XM made an entire platform for him to revolutionize radio broadcasting. This is the goal for me.
3) This interview was with my dad a 58-year-old man, who follows sports and loves listening to Boomer on WFAN NY radio. He believes this is something that will blow away SportsCenter, it is something every fan and individual can relate to and feel as if they are apart of. That is a great way to view my idea because I never even thought of how many people it could real into watching. The target audience is so big because it is just anyone who is interested in sports and an entertaining way to watch the news on them.
4) This interview was with my family friend he's 32 and he works for ESPN, in production. He thinks this idea is so amazing, with a thought-out plan, some execution, and a few phone calls; he believes this can go to the "big time" and become something greater than anything we've seen before. He even said if I mapped it out and figured out details, with a plan, he'd quit his job with ESPN. The biggest sports broadcasting company in the world owned by a huge company called Disney.
5) The last interview was with my sister who hates sports, said this could be "something special". To get that out of my older sister's mouth about something I thought up, is honestly all I need to know this is something that could go the distance and create a whole new industry on top of a newly acquired industry. She believes the entertainment added with reporting sports-related news is a "2 in 1 show" and that can bring huge attraction.

Hey Nick, I really like your idea given I am also a huge sports fan and I fall within your boundary. I think the most important to remember in this industry is to be able to differentiate yourself from the competition. There are a lot of people who have entered this business due to the success of Barstool. I look forward to where you take this idea and I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteHey Nick I see that you have basically covered different kinds of people who could be a potential user and someone who may not be into sports (like your sister) but would really enjoy your service if your service included that attraction factor in it. After reading your interviews and your potential boundaries, I think that you have a chance to move people from non-sports area from Outside the boundary to Inside the Boundary because if your service become really entertaining and even tries to attract users who are not into sports but still it's entertaining to them, then I think you will able to broaden your markey. So, Good Luck.
