The editorial staff was tiny and it didn’t have much of a web presence.   But after taking over the business operations, he rapidly expanded it into new ventures – first by launching a series of lucrative conferences that targeted multiple industries within pro sports, and then by rapidly building out its digital operations.   In an interview, Nick explained to me why he made such a big bet on events, how the company adapted during the pandemic shutdown, and where he sees more opportunities to monetize the outlet’s digital content – including his plans to launch a subscription paywall.
