The second episode of the Managing The Crisis podcast features a discussion with Chief Content Officer of The Action Network Chad Millman. With sports on pause and fans unable to frequent casinos to place bets, how is that lack of activity impacting the sports betting business? Chad lends his thoughts on that issue as well as how he’s approaching content in the short term, why not being reliant on an ad model has been a blessing for Action Network, which sports he expects to generate a surge in activity if they run events soon as expected, whether it’s wise to invest in a casino company, how New York’s refusal to embrace mobile sports betting could hurt the future of the sports betting space, plus much more!
