Collin Castellaw, initially an art teacher earning $25,000 annually, and business partner Deron Guidrey founded PlayersTV, a unique athlete and fan-owned sports network valued at $75 million. Their lack of conventional media backgrounds gives them an edge, allowing for rapid adaptability and a focus on future trends. With Guidrey’s marketing insight and Castellaw’s digital expertise, they created a channel showcasing the multifaceted lives of athletes, addressing the gap in distribution for athlete-led content and providing deeper insights into their lives beyond sports.
