Controversy, frat house culture, viral moments — when you hear ‘Barstool Sports,’ this may be what comes to mind.

Ayers Badan shares with Rapid Response why she decided to make a dramatic career pivot — taking over Food52 — and why running Barstool was like “a heart attack every day.” She also explores lessons around cultivating a community of fans, and why as a leader, “no” is often a better answer than “yes.”
