Ep. 8: Co-Founder of Politiscope and Forbes 30 Under 30 Member, Walter Powell: How This NFL Wide Receiver Took a Hot Air Balloon From the Football World to the Tech World - a podcast by Grit Player Services

How the f**k did Walter Powell go from the NFL to the tech startup world? In this episode, we talk to Walt about his company Politiscope which he started with his childhood friend Jackson White. Walt was a former NFL Wide Receiver playing for teams like the Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. When he wanted to enter into the business world, he took the entrepreneurial route with help from political junkie/friend Jackson. Together they created Politiscope, an app that is “reviving American democracy by bringing politics into clear view and putting the power of raw information in the palm of your hand.” So how did Walt manage to do it all — football and tech startup? Maybe with some help from a very large balloon?
