from Sunday Afternoon Smokes

In this episode of Sunday Afternoon Smokes, Chris sits down with Will Bestermann — recent Clemson graduate, future physical therapist, and creator of Saturday's Best Sports — for a conversation about ambition, entrepreneurship, sports media, discipline, and figuring life out in your twenties. At just 22 years old, Will is balancing college, physical therapy school acceptance at UConn, content creation, podcasting, social media, and building his own sports media brand focused on college football and basketball. Chris and Will discuss: * Starting a sports media brand from scratch * Consistency and social media growth * Entrepreneurship at a young age * College football and college basketball culture * Learning through repetition and experience * Taking chances on yourself * The pressure of doing too much * Why authenticity matters online * Balancing ambition with quality * Building something meaningful while still young The conversation also dives into Will’s upbringing in a military family, living overseas in Italy and the UK, sports culture abroad, Clemson life, and preparing for the next chapter at UConn’s physical therapy doctorate program. More than just a sports conversation, this episode explores ambition, momentum, self-awareness, and the tension between chasing opportunities and learning when to narrow your focus.
