EPISODE 6
This episode pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like to run social for pro sports teams. Panelists from the NHL and MLB share how they craft content that rides the highs and lows of the season, why flexibility is everything, and how to keep fans engaged — win or lose. From behind-the-scenes moments to sponsorship integration, the discussion also reveals the personal side of the job: burnout, boundaries, and the importance of joy. For anyone navigating fast-paced content cycles, this is a masterclass in staying grounded while going viral.
