Ep. 91: Executive Producer at Park Stories, Rand Getlin: How Working One Month as a Lawyer For His Mom Showed Him His Passion Lies with Sports Storytelling
How the f**k did Rand Getlin go from taking AND passing the Bar Exam in two states to producing short films for Quibi? Rand graduated from the University of Oregon in 2006 and shortly after went on to USC Gould School of Law. During his time at the Southern California school, Rand worked in Nike’s legal department as well as Stoel, Rives and Milbank, Tweed, Hadley and McCoy. Getlin left USC with his J.D. in 2009 and shortly after began working as an NFL Insider for Yahoo Sports. In 2017, he significantly pivoted again to become an Executive Producer for Park Stories. Today, in that same role he’s produced content for athletes like Zion Williamson, Tyler Adams, Red Gerrard, Jalen Ramsey, and Chantel Navarro. So how did Rand know when to leave his writing gig to take on an entrepreneurial and production role? And what is like to work with your wife everyday?
