Let me set the stage for you..
Imagine one night you’re hanging with 2 of your BFF’s, sharing a bottle of wine (or 2 or 3)… and all of the sudden in your drunken conversation, you get a genius idea!
You open up a fresh Google Doc… you write everything that the 3 of you are saying down… you feel like you’ve really hit the nail on the head with this idea!
HOW HAS NOBODY THOUGHT OF THIS YET? THIS WILL BE THE NEXT MILLION DOLLAR IDEA!
Then you head to bed.
Upon waking the next morning (with a slight hangover!) you wondering, “was it all a dream… was it really a good idea, like we thought?”
You’ll have to tune in to this weeks episode with co-founder of The GIST, Ellen Hyslop, to find out!
This is the birth story of The Gist!
As a Female-Focused Sports Media Company, The GIST connects and empowers women through sport.
They create sports content, experiences and community that are by women and for women, namely through their twice-weekly newsletter, which uses a fun and female voice to give “the gist” of what’s going on in the sports world.
