Talked to Snapchat God DJ Khaled for 10 minutes:
After ALL my Snapchat work for For The Win, I actually got to sit down and talk to the Snapchat god DJ Khaled for 10 minutes. Here’s what that turned into:
- DJ Khaled talks Snapchat, the craziest pick-up games he’s seen and his major keys
- DJ Khaled says McGregor-Mayweather ‘both won already’
- DJ Khaled dares Antonio Brown to use his ‘Wild Thoughts’ dance after a touchdown

Snaps of the Week:
From June of 2016 through 2017 I did a Snapchat roundup post. While I’ve seen other outlets do posts like “Tweets of the Week,” I’ve never seen anyone else do a “Snapchats of the Week” post. Here are a few of them (you find all of them by clicking this link):
- 10 best sports Snaps of the week: Lolo Jones tries to get Phelps’ number, Steph Curry’s dance (was tweeted out by Lolo Jones)
- 10 best Snaps of the week: Draymond clowning Drake, Pacers dancing to Future in the club
- 10 best sports Snaps of the week: D-Wade’s Waffle House adventure, Curry family soccer
Snapchatting at Events Strategy:
I went to several Lakers games toward the end of Kobe’s final season. I wasn’t given a specific assignment other than to Snapchat while I was there. After the first game I went to (where the Lakers somehow beat the Warriors), I came up with this idea of a “Snapchat highlights” post.
