    Spotify's Super Producer: The Man Behind Some Of The Ringer's Top Podcasts | Brian Waters, The Ringer

    Ever wonder who’s behind the scenes making your favorite podcasts actually happen? Meet Brian H. Waters — producer for The Ringer and Spotify, with over 1,200 podcast episodes under his belt. From cutting his teeth on NFL sidelines to now producing shows like The Masked Man Show, The Ringer Wrestling Worldwide, and The Press Box, Brian breaks down what really goes into world-class podcast production. In this episode, we talk about how he got his start, what makes a great producer, and why trust is everything when you’re working with high-profile talent. We dive into what it takes to create scroll-stopping clips, how Brian balances multiple shows (while being a full-time dad), and why building chemistry off-mic matters just as much as what happens on it. Plus, we geek out over WrestleMania 41 season — from John Cena’s heel turn to the Naomi/Jade/Bianca storyline to what it’s like preparing interviews with WWE superstars. Whether you’re into podcasting, wrestling, or just love hearing how top-tier creatives work behind the scenes, this one’s a banger. And yes, we absolutely asked him who should be in the WWE Hall of Fame. I know my pick!

    This 7-Figure Creative Agency STARTED with an iPhone! | Hayden Roberts, Sunny Collabs

    What if you could build a multi-7-figure creative agency or business, starting with nothing but an iPhone? That’s exactly what Sunny Collabs did. In this episode of Making Varsity, I sit down with Hayden Roberts — Co-Founder and Creative Director of Sunny Collabs — to unpack the wild ride from side hustle to scaling one of Tampa’s fastest-growing content agencies. We get into the nitty gritty of how Hayden and his co-founder Kayla turned grit, hustle, and local connections into a content engine trusted by brands like DoorDash, White Claw, and Ruth’s Chris. You’ll hear how they went from managing social accounts for small businesses to building an entire influencer and creator network spanning thousands — all while staying scrappy, smart, and hyper-focused on serving their clients. This episode covers what it actually takes to scale a creative business (or any business for that matter), why humility and flexibility are paramount, and the underrated power of micro-influencers and user-generated content. Hayden also shares why the best business strategy might be to build the plane while flying it, how they delegate and elevate with EOS, and why scroll-stopping content is about staying authentic—not chasing trends. Bottom line: You don’t need to be fancy to get started. You need to get to work. This episode is packed with practical insights for anyone trying to build something that lasts—whether you’re a marketer, freelancer, or business owner ready to scale. Here we go!

    The Psychology of Storytelling: How to Make People Feel Your Brand | Brie Shouppe, Envera Systems

    Some brands grab attention — but the best ones leave a lasting impact. What makes the difference? It’s not just strategy or design…it’s emotion. In this episode of Making Varsity, I sit down with Brie Shouppe, VP of Marketing at Envera Systems, to break down the psychology of storytelling and why brands that connect emotionally win every time. We dive into the science behind why people buy, how brand messaging shapes trust, and the role of emotion in driving customer behavior. Brie also shares how her experience working with authors and book launches has sharpened her storytelling skills for brands — and how you can apply the same techniques in your business. Plus, we’ll talk about why copywriting is not dead (even in the age of AI), how small business owners can leverage storytelling without getting lost in complexity, and what makes a brand truly unforgettable. Bottom line: Funnels and tactics are helpful, but feelings build loyalty. ABOUT BRIE: After earning her degree from the University of Florida, Brie embarked on her career as an associate producer in one of the largest local news markets on television. Eager to broaden her horizons, she transitioned into a marketing and business development role at a leading privately held security and technology company in the United States. In 2022, Brie took a bold step away from the corporate world to pursue her passion as a freelance and contract ghostwriter, editor, content creator, and marketing strategist. During this time, she launched her first podcast, which aims to amplify author voices and connect readers with the writers behind their favorite stories. By early 2023, Brie joined The Kraft Co, a boutique marketing and communications firm, where she continues to play a crucial role. Recently, she returned to Envera as their VP of Marketing, where she oversees marketing, business development, and sales enablement initiatives. In every project she undertakes, Brie is committed to uncovering and sharing the stories behind each brand, ensuring they resonate with their intended audiences.
