Bill Rasmussen is a former sports journalist at a local news outlet in Connecticut who started ESPN by just following his dreams. As a former local news anchor, I am inspired by his work because I have big goals of launching a multicultural home shopping channel like QVC based on my experience working on sales and marketing driven shows in local TV.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by reading books about other successful media entrepreneurs and listening to podcasts on business, media and entertainment.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the fund to rent a professional studio, shoot a pilot episode/proof of concept, hire a producer and editor to make my pilot look polished, and then distribute the pilot and segments on YouTube, backed by some digital advertising to reach my target audience.
