This weekend, starting Sunday and running through Tuesday, I will be at the Nationa Sports Forum in Atlanta, which is a pretty huge sportsbiz event.This is my first time. My boss the CEO of WorkInSports.com will be with me, and he fully expects me to be yucking it up with everyone.\u00a0Now, let me be really honest\u2026 I love talking to people. I do. But I don\u2019t like to initiate conversation.<a href=\"https://www.workinsports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/qa_cover.png\"></a>Someone comes up and talks to me, I\u2019ll chat them up as long as they want. But I am terrible, literally terrible at going up and starting a conversation with anyone.I bring this up for two reasons.\u00a01: If you or your company are going to be at National Sports Forum, please come talk to me. Come hang out.\u00a0\u00a02: I bring up my own flaws all the time to be as transparent as possible and let you know, when I host this show, nothing comes from a high perch. I may be the one talking the most, and I may have a lot of perspectives to share, but i am not without massive weaknesses and things I need to work on too.\u00a0Please don\u2019t ever think, when I give advice, that it comes from a place of superiority. It comes from a place of love.\u00a0Ok, that felt a little weird to say, but there is truth in it, I wouldn\u2019t be putting so much effort into this podcast if I didn\u2019t care about all of you listening.\u00a0I have made friends through this show I wouldn\u2019t have known otherwise, and that has great meaning. So please know we are in this together.Last thing on National Sports Forum -- I\u2019m going to be conducting mini-interviews with people at the event\u2026 I\u2019m going to grab people, ask them 2-3 questions about their career and how they got started... and sprinkle these into episodes throughout the year.\u00a0So again, if you are there, or if you know someone going, tell them to stop by out booth and say Hi. Make me look good in front of the CEO.Ok, on to the content you are here for!Today\u2019s question comes from Ben in Chicago.\u201cHey Brian, are the Kansas City Chiefs in Missouri or Kansas? I heard there is some confusion amongst high-ranking US Officials\u201dI can confirm Ben, the Kansas City Chiefs are most definitely in Missouri. I have personally alerted the proper authorities.Question #2 comes from Jennifer\u201cHey Brian, you spoke in my college class last week and I really appreciate the energy and enthusiasm you brought to the classroom. I was too shy to ask any questions but I wanted to see if you could elaborate on a point you made about how someone can stand out during an internship?\u201dOf course Jennifer -- thank you for asking and thanks to your professor for inviting me into your classroom -- I spoke in 5 different college classes last week and it was a blast.\u00a0I have to tell you I have massive respect for college professors after doing a lot of these sessions. I got for about an hour, 45 minutes of me, then 15 minutes of question time from the audience\u2026 and it is exhausting. I don\u2019t know how the professors do it day after day.\u00a0Much respect!Ok, onto your internship strategy. It\u2019s early spring semester so many of you are gearing up for spring internships and possibly summer ones so this is the chance to get your head on straight.\u00a0The three things to remember for your internship:* Be curious* Be competitive* Be coachableToday's Sponsor:<a href=\"http://sthm.temple.edu/sports\">Temple University\u2019s School of Sport, Tourism, and Hospitality Management.</a>&nbsp;","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/4854d2f0-5817-490e-af50-7a56bd03f1fb/wispod-cover.png"}
