In a style we've never broached before, episode 35 brings us an appearance by Ben Cummins, a new contributor to RotoViz, TwoQBs and The Fantasy Footballers' upstart website. He represents a writer in the industry who is just breaking in at that ground zero level. Ben shares his perspective on feeling the itch to try and make a run at grabbing a position as a writer, and the steps he took to just get off the ground. Highlights from this episode include: - Following the Broncos growing up and how his fandom still means quite a bit to him. - How Ben initially felt the urge to dive deeper into DFS coverage when that format of fantasy just clicked with him. - Reaching out to established writers and how he knew who to talk to in order to gain more of a footing. - Looking ahead five years into the future and wondering where he'll stand if he does not have a full-time job. - Controlling what you can control and always remembering to "just start writing".
