Ep. 42: Social Moments Design at Bleacher Report, Akshay Ram: How His Failed YouTube Channel Opened the Door to the Biggest Brands in Sports - a podcast by Grit Player Services

How the f**k did Akshay Ram accomplish more than most people in his field and he still hasn’t finished college yet? Today we’re talking with Akshay about his success in the world of sports and recruiting. Akshay started his career in graphic design doing freelance work with the National Hockey League’s Columbus Blue Jackets. From there he helped Holy Cross University’s football program as a recruiting design intern. He only just finished his sophomore year at Syracuse University, but he’s already filled graphic design roles for some big name brands in sports, most recently the Los Angeles Clippers. Today, Akshay continues to work as a Social Moments Associate Designer with Bleacher Report and Football Creative Media Associate with Syracuse. So how did Akshay end up working for some of the biggest names in sports while still in school to get his degree in engineering? And how many customers did he get when he offered to make free logos after only using Photoshop for one day?
