Peter King joins us on this week's episode of The Words With Witte Podcast. King knew at an early age that he wanted to pursue a career in journalism so he attend Ohio University to work towards that goal. Without a specific subject in mind and only knowing he wanted to write for a newspaper, he chased after the best jobs and opportunities in the industry. After getting the call up to Sports Illustrated in 1989, King covered the NFL and later became one of the most influential sports writers in the field.

Words With Witte is back!! Today's guest is Chris Chavez who is living out his childhood goal of being a Sports Illustrated writer. Before attending college, Chavez was working as a columnist for the Bleacher Report covering college basketball. We discuss what he learned about the industry with his first job and what led to him wanting to cover the sport of running. In 2017, Chavez founded Citius Mag after finding a white space in the industry. Chavez and his team create relatable running content and it's also where Chavez hosts a podcast talking to the stars, their agents, and coaches in track and field. Chavez shares why reading has had an impact on his writing career, why he has pivoted the format in which he tells stories, and a peek into how he prepares for Olympic coverage. Chavez tells you who he thinks will be the track and field stars in Tokyo this summer and the shoes that are changing the game!

Noticing a lack of efficiency sparked an idea for a company to have success in the exchange of money in sports. Pete Makover created Payball Sports just 5 years ago when he figured out an easier way to pay sports officials, event staff, and coaches in a modern and organized way. The entrepreneurial life wasn't something he had always dreamt of but his knowledge and experience in software development and consulting helped him network and build relationships for the success of Payball. When COVID-19 struck earlier this year, he developed a unique internship program for college students and shares the plans he has in store for the program. Makover is a former Penn State men's lacrosse captain so we spoke about his legacy with the program and how he would be leading the team through a pandemic if he were the captain today. Payball is a young company that continues to find ways to assist more organizations and Makover is confident and excited about the brand's potential.

Emily Chertow found her love for writing in high school when she started an advice column in her local newspaper with a mission to connect with others. After moving to New York City and attending Columbia Publishing Course, Chertow founded 'Pop-Up Journaling Classes'. Her goal aims to inspire people to practice mindfulness and to be gentler on themselves while jotting down their thoughts and emotions. The community she has built in the 3 years since she launched the idea continues to grow and evolve and she says it's her favorite part about journaling classes. Chertow shares how she got interested in journaling, why she believes in the importance of having a positive mindset, and how she was able to pivot her classes once the pandemic hit.
