Former Barstool Sports CEO Erika Ayers Badan Debuts ‘Work’ Weekly Podcast: ‘I Love to Work, and I Love to Think About Work’
Erika Ayers Badan, ex-CEO of Barstool Sports, is launching weekly podcast series "Work" with insights from her career, produced by Lemonada Media.
Erika Ayers Badan will share lessons from her seven-plus-year tenure as CEO of Barstool Sports — which she’s affectionately called a “pirate ship” — and other insights gleaned from her career in a new podcast series. In addition, Ayers Badan will discuss the backstories of sundry corporate jargon, like “circle back,” “bandwidth” and “EBITDA” (which, for the record, stands for “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization”). Running Barstool under Penn’s ownership, Ayers Badan wrote in a memo to staff, “was a balancing act and kind of an exercise in futility — trying to generate bets at the same time as protecting a pirate ship while also subtly contorting it to be something more predictable, pacifiable and projectable to match with a casino company.”
