#21 - Future of Digital Sports - Ryan Rottman

I am excited to introduce a special guest on the show today, Ryan Rottman. 

Little about Ryan, he grew up in a town called Lufkin, Texas, later attended Texas Tech University to start his career in the acting business, and was featured in countless films and tv series, one to mention 90210.

Ryan is currently still doing films while he has been working on his dream venture, and that leads us to a sports platform that he co-founded with NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers that will change the game for online sports information and what I call in my words of the digital sports information of the future in the present.

Ryan’s goal of OSDB was simple; to create an extensive database detailing the lives of professional athletes with unprecedented granularity. OSDB prides itself on the amount of detail and comprehensive nature with which they cover high-profile professional athletes and teams.

Each athlete on OSDB has a profile on which fans can find out more about their personal lives, like their hobbies, interests, endorsement deals and ventures outside of their athletic ones, and even their charitable works and initiatives, along with much more.

Beyond these databases and player profiles, OSDB also produces original editorial content that celebrates athletes for all they do on and off the field. I was fortunate to have been asked by them to have an editorial piece on my journey of being an athlete.

Furthermore, I’m excited to kick this episode off and have you guys learn more about Ryan, his experiences in the acting business, the highs and lows, the lessons learned throughout his career, and his current venture today of OSDB.
