October 25, 2013 How InThePaintCrew was born

I started InThePaintCrew shortly after reading Jeff Jarvis's "What Would Google Do?"

Growing up, I wanted to work in the NBA. As I got older, I saw how difficult that would be, and sort of gave up on the idea. Even though I wanted to create something around basketball the NBA, I wasn't optimistic about it.

After reading WWGD, I learned that there might be opportunities to actually create something down the line. And so, as an inspired freshman in college, I popped open an Instagram page, Facebook page, Twitter account, and started posting about what I was already talking about in the basketball world.

InThePaintCrew has since grown to 30k+ combined followers.

About

I built InThePaintCrew after reading a book on blogging. As an avid basketball fan, I saw an opportunity to create a community where people could discuss all things basketball and not be ignored, like on big pages.
