He built Barstool as a launchpad for talent—think Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy”—contracting creators to ride their momentum to stardom before they inevitably moved on. Beyond media, he launched the Barstool Fund to save 400+ businesses during the pandemic and even flirted with politics, seeing civic engagement as a duty. He’s not writing another book anytime soon—and frankly, doesn’t care to win over his critics. This is the unfiltered, no-holds-barred story of how a scrappy startup became a cultural juggernaut.
