Featuring Our Host, John Hartofilis, On A Special Guest Episode Of "Sports Intern Show" With Host Colbi Ellison, Originally Recorded On 2/22/2021!!!
Sports Intern Show Episode Show Notes
Joining me today John Hartofilis, CEO and Host of Gen Z Hoops podcast, founder of BSBC, basketball coach at Xavier HS, and part of the Pro Team Sales X2 Performance. We talked about the importance of networking and how he approaches it, his vision of standing out in such a competitive industry, and his transformation in his short and vertiginous career. If you enjoyed the show, please leave us a five-star iTunes review.
"Age is a weapon, your age is a weapon, you're never too old. I used to look at it as a disadvantage, not even close. It is the ultimate advantage. I'm only this young for not much longer; I need to use it." - John Hartofilis.
John got his High School diploma in 2018 from Xavier High School, and in 2020 he already earned his BS in Business and Technology from Stevens Institute in Technology. It's one year away from getting his second Bachelor in Science in Business from Zicklin School of Business, and he is only 20 years old.
He started the Big Fellas Podcast in June 2020, a basketball-related show that transitioned into Gen Z Hoops Podcast in December 2020, an interview show where he speaks about basketball facts, news, business-related topics. He interviews coaches, journalists, players, and virtually any person relevant in the NBA sphere.
We had a great conversation about his journey and his approach to networking, getting interviews for his show, and the follow-up with his show's guests after the recording is over. We talked about his dreams and aspirations in the sports industry, specifically in the NBA, and how he's working to achieve them.
He shared his first experiences when he was 14 and was editing videos for fun, and how important it is the passion when it comes to putting the reps needed to succeed at something.
Tune in and listen to the fascinating story of this young yet experienced spirit full of dreams and the potential to achieve what he aims for and more.
