ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Matthew McQueeny sits down with digital strategist Peter Stringer for a conversation that begins with childhood memories of Boston sports and journalism—but quickly turns into an exploration of fascinating career parallels.
Both Matthew and Peter started as aspiring sports journalists. Both discovered the web in its infancy and used HTML, websites, and digital publishing to bypass the traditional media gatekeepers. One landed with the New Jersey Nets. The other with the Boston Celtics. Together, they witnessed—and helped shape—the transformation from newspapers to websites, from websites to social media, and now from search engines to AI.
Along the way, they share stories from inside professional sports organizations, what it was like earning trust with coaches and players, how team websites disrupted traditional media, and why the best careers often come from embracing technologies before everyone else realizes their importance.
