Chris was an athlete through high school and college. He was a track and field runner and landed a fellowship and later a job at Sports Illustrated. Chris speaks to the experience he gained working at a media company. After some time at Sports Illustrated, he realized there was little coverage of what he was most passionate about, running and track and field. This is where his interest was and he wanted to start a media company that focused on this niche of the sports industry.

Dino met Chris through their mutual community of running at the Chicago marathon. Chris shares insight on how having both the running background and his time as a sports journalist has allowed him to improve his storytelling and better connect with the athletes he is featuring. He talks about the difference in working for a large media company versus trying to build up his own publication for the niche topic of running. 

Chris shares his experience covering major marathons and the Olympics. He discusses the lack of public interest in track and field media after the buzz of the Olympics dies down. He talks about the challenge of trying to keep that audience engaged with the running content post-Olympics and points out how mainstream media companies do not continue coverage of these incredible record-breaking athletes. Chris reveals that the mission of his magazine is to keep these athletes in the spotlight year-round like any other sports competitors. 

Dino asks Chris about Citius's future and how he will scoop out the next stars in the world of track and field competition. He explains how he covers championships and stays up to date with athletes in high school and college who go on to compete professionally. Chris explains his goal is to target high school and college students who compete or have competed at their respective levels and who have more interest in keeping up with their counterparts who are breaking records or making it to higher-stakes competitions. He explains there is a level of relatability in this demographic and therefore are more engaged with the content he is putting out. Chris believes in targeting an everyday runner such as a marathon runner, as they are doing it for a personal goal and not necessarily competitively. 

Tune into this week’s episode of the Project Purple Podcast to learn more about Chris and his effort to expand his media company and about the world of track and field.

Episode 301 - Running a Sports Media Magazine with Chris Chavez

Meet Meg Barber. She is the head women’s basketball coach at NYU. Meg played basketball at NYU and has built an impressive coaching resume, having coached at D1 and D2 schools before returning to NYU. Meg has run the NYC marathon several times as a charity partner with Project Purple.

Meg discusses her coaching philosophy and how her approach has fostered a strong team dynamic, which she calls a sisterhood. She explains that her bond with the team goes beyond basketball and shares what she looks for when recruiting team members. Last season, she and her team went undefeated at 31-0 and won the championship for their division. Meg reflects on this achievement and emphasizes her sense of belonging as the head coach at NYU.

Her passion for basketball comes from her father, who was her first coach and introduced her to the sport. She shares memories of his support and recalls the day she told him she got the job at NYU. She always feels his presence on the court, even after his passing. She lost her father to pancreatic cancer.

Meg and Dino discuss the state of women’s basketball and women’s sports, highlighting the increased media attention and public interest. Meg shares the impact on the sports industry and society and discusses the significance of young girls seeing women’s professional sports being televised, something she did not experience growing up as a female athlete.

Coach Barber's Journey: Overcoming Challenges on and Off the Court

O câncer de pâncreas é uma doença que ocupa a terceira posição entre os tumores do trato gastrointestinal. Por ser de difícil detecção e ser agressivo, este tipo de câncer apresenta alta taxa de mortalidade, por conta do diagnóstico tardio. No país, é responsável por cerca de 2% de todos os tipos de câncer diagnosticados e por 4% do total de mortes causadas pela doença. Para falar sobre o assunto, Jota Batista conversa no Canal Saúde com o cirurgião do Hospital Jayme da Fonte, Omar Jacobina.

Meet Doug “Censor” Martin, from Long Island. Doug is well-known online for his gaming expertise. He has competed in esports championships and shares gaming content on YouTube and social media. Doug also discusses his interest in fitness and how he established himself as a gamer with a fitness lifestyle, which he felt made him stand out in the gaming community.

By sharing his life online, Doug found himself in many people's dream job: getting paid to play video games. During this time, he was also focusing heavily on his fitness goals. However, he felt that the people and habits around him were compromising his mental health.

Doug explains that he went through a transformative period as he dealt with negative feedback and criticism online, especially after being open about the end of his relationship. This experience led him to reassess his online persona and prioritize maintaining his authenticity and high standards for his content.

Doug describes his passion for self-improvement and his desire to always exceed expectations. He set his sights on breaking the world record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours. He underwent a grueling training cycle that tested both his physical and mental strengths, a long 16 months of it. Despite enduring significant pain and mental strain, he remained focused on achieving his goal. Recently, he successfully broke the record. He credits his success in doing so to the support and motivation of his coach, Jackson.

Doug dedicated his record-breaking journey to Project Purple, raising awareness and nearly $10k for pancreatic cancer research and patient aid. He shares that he lost his grandmother to pancreatic cancer when he was young. He aimed to use his platform to raise awareness about the disease and encourage others to be selfless. Doug invites others to pursue their own goals, whether that involves breaking a world record or simply making a positive impact on the world.

Episode 303 - Breaking a World Record to Beat Pancreatic Cancer with Doug “Censor” Martin

Meet Tina Lucci from Allentown, Pennsylvania. She is a special education teacher and a mother of two boys. Tina is a survivor of pancreatic cancer, having been diagnosed during the holiday season of 2019.
 
She first felt unwell at work, so she went to the emergency room. Her diagnosis was a shock, as she had no family history of pancreatic cancer and was a mother of two young boys. Tina chose not to share her diagnosis with her loved ones initially, preferring only her immediate family to know, especially since it was the holiday season. She felt ashamed and like she had somehow brought the cancer upon herself.
 
Tina started chemotherapy treatment but had allergic reactions, such as swelling of her tongue, and had to switch to a different regimen. She traveled from Allentown to Philadelphia to Fox Chase Cancer Center for her treatments. However, her local hospital's oncology department also provided treatment closer to her home. To date, she has undergone over 70 chemotherapy treatments and counting, and has also had radiation therapy. Chemo has been effective for her during her nearly 5-year journey.
 
She was scheduled to undergo an Appleby procedure, but the cancer had spread to her liver, leading to the cancellation of the surgery. After spending four days in the hospital, she continued chemotherapy to keep her tumor stable. Tina has become an advocate for herself and feels that chemotherapy is the best way to extend her time with her family rather than putting herself through a risky surgery.
 
Tina describes how cancer has made her softer and more gentle. She finds herself letting minor annoyances go and living life more fully. She takes every opportunity to spend quality time with her sisters and friends. Overall, Tina is making the most of her experience with cancer, referring to it as her "prison time." She feels that she is serving time with this disease but is making the best of it.

As a result, emergency medicine has the opportunity to play a role in screening and detection with the goal of risk and complication prevention.
