Manage episode 329686987 series 2923744
Sports gambling has a come long way in a very short amount of time. Once considered taboo, it's now everywhere and it seems like everyone is doing it. But how exactly do you start gambling, and how do you do it responsibly?
For answers to these questions, we turn to Conner Burks. Formerly of ESPN, he's now a producer for the award-winning YouTube show, The MMA Hour. Every Monday and Wednesday, he tells the audience the bets he's taking in fighting this week...and he's usually right.
On today's episode, we discuss:
- How to start gambling RESPONSIBLY, plus other basics and key terms to understand (5:45)
- His transition from behind-the-scenes utility man to on-air talent, and the increased social media following that comes with it (14:03)
- Why turning off your phone can be the best decision you ever make (23:25)
- The pros and cons of living in New York City (27:55)
- Finding fulfillment in your career (35:30)
