Going All In On Your Passion, Fantasy Football Hobby Into A Full-time Business with Mikey Henninger

In today's episode Paul and Leah chat with Mikey Henninger, a fantasy football enthusiast who found a way to make his hobby a full time business.  This episode is high energy and full of laughs as they discuss Mikey's path from corporate sales and marketing to deciding to go all in on his fantasy football research hobby he had started on the side.  They talk about the vital roll Mikey's wife played in pushing him to make the final decision and how she has continued to support and motivate him as a solopreneur.

Henninger had started a fantasy football player research  spreadsheet he had called the heat map as a fun side project.  He was uploading it weekly to Reddit and gathered quite the following.  As readers found the information useful they voluntarily started donating to Henninger to motivate him to continue his small passion project.  After a feeling of burnout in his corporate marketing job, he thought since people liked his heat map enough to donate money for it, maybe they would pay for it.  And in that became the makings of Henninger's fantasy football business called Basement Brewed Fantasy Football.  And now, eleven months later he has expanded to offer much more than just the heat map, including the white glove treatment of helping to choose players.  Henninger has aspirations to scale his business in sports betting assistance as well as other sports.

This episode is both entertaining and inspiring.   If you have a passion or hobby you have been thinking about turning into a business, you will truly be inspired to see that it is fully possible and rewarding!
