Vikings Territory: On The 4th I Wanted To Sincerely Thank You All

Press release from Vikings Territory:

July 5, 2021

Your support means the world to us, and especially me

Hey there.

But there were always a few clicks that were unaccounted for, which meant a couple people wanted to hear what I had to say. That meant everything to me. I was going through a quarter life crisis (if I live to be … Carry the 2… 125), was freshly out of intensive inpatient treatment, and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.

But anything the ways I knew I could make money from the skills I learned there didn’t excite me. You know those fridge magnet collection of random words people have? To write poems, or funny nonsense? That was my job title and business idea.

Ugh.

I will forever be in his debt, and am so proud that he’s become an authority in the industry and that I had a small part in that.

Joe has been a mentor, an amazing writer, great cohost, but most importantly someone I am so proud to call a friend. There was a point early on in our working relationship where the show we were doing had all sorts of technical issues.

Unbeknownst to me Joe had a decision, to go one way or to stick with me. He decided to as he said at the time, hitch his wagon to me to see where it goes.

I then purchased VikingsTerritory.com in 2017, and slowly adding the amazing team of guys like Dustin Baker, Kirby O’Connor, Josh Frey, Wes Johnson, that we have now.

Say what you will about Sansevere’s choice for Monday morning cohosts on his radio show ‘The BS Show’ (me), I can honestly say that I have never worked with someone as genuinely kind and … Dare I say, altruistic? Than Bob.

Thank you, Bob.

Those names caught the attention of our publishing partner, The Publisher Desk. They started working with us on our advertising, our expansion, our… everything. I can’t recommend them enough, as they got us to where we are today and to the point of this article.

As I mentioned above I purchased this site in 2017. It happened to be right before training camp ended, the last camp in Mankato. I headed down there and was essentially told the same refrain I heard everywhere I went where traditional media or national site entities were.

Now, I also mentioned above that I was hired as a consultant for a couple Vikings sites and that’s because I am relatively adept at making money on the internet. So, I spent the last couple years ensuring that the sites had multiple revenue streams.

That’d allow me to do this for a living, pay my guys more, and hopefully expand and come through on the next phase of my business (which is coming SOON).

I’ve had writers say they can’t believe their compensation. When I recruit established writers? They all say the same thing. I’m interested but no offense sounds too good to be true.

That brings me to the point of this article.

The allure of giving up was everywhere. I can handle most anything, but this sort of thing is my Achilles. I tend to blame myself for everything, and almost gave into believing I was the negative things I’d been told.

I always planned on writing a big thank you right before we announced our next phase. But instead, I am saying thank you but I also want you to know that each of you not only help our dream of covering our favorite team for a living come true, but for me? You simultaneously made my dream come true while saving me from the nightmare of the last few weeks.

Thank you, and stay tuned. I have worked for four years on our next phase, as a gift to our supporters. I really think you’ll love it, and I can’t wait to keep seeing where this takes us.

THANK YOU.
