Meet MICHAEL GENOVA | Graphic Designer & Sports Media Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with MICHAEL GENOVA and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi MICHAEL, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Starting my own sports media business was driven by my passion for sports and my desire to create a business where I am free to be creative and different. I recognized the potential in the sports industry and believed that there was a need for a fresh and innovative approach to sports media.

By establishing my own business, I aimed to provide a unique service, high-quality designs, both photography and videography services and a platform for youth athletes to showcase their talents.

I was excited about the opportunity to shape the narrative surrounding youth sport programs. Ultimately, my thought process revolved around combining my love for sports with my entrepreneurial spirit to make a meaningful impact in the sports media landscape.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Absolutely! I am excited to share more about my work and the journey that has led me to where I am today.

What sets me apart in the sports media industry is my unique combination of skills in graphic design, photography, and a deep understanding of the sports world. This allows me to use my skills to truly capture the essence and personality of young athletes, making their achievements even more memorable and special.

I take great pride in the impact my work has on the athletes and their families. Seeing the boost in confidence the athletes feel and excitement on their faces reminds me that my work is much more than just a picture, video or trading card. My trading custom trading cards are a reminder of the power of preserving memories and celebrating those accomplishments.

However, getting to this point professionally was a great challenge on its own. Building a brand and establishing myself in an industry such as this takes dedication, perseverance, and the ability to keep learning on the go while I continue to grow. Each hurdle became an opportunity for growth and pushed me to become better at what I do.

In terms of my brand and story, I want the world to know that I am passionate about using my creative skills to empower young athletes and help them grow.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The first stop for anyone visiting South Florida to me is Flanigan’s! Yes, there is always the small corner Cuban bakeries or the Wynwood nightlife but in my opinion – Flanigan’s is a great mix of everything South Florida has to offer. My next planned activity would be a Miami Heat game. The energy in the air, the atmosphere and the Heat Culture is unlike any other and is something everyone should experience.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my incredible family.

They have been my constant source of love, support, and inspiration throughout my journey. Their unwavering belief in me, their encouragement, and their sacrifices have played a pivotal role in my success. They have stood by me during challenging times, provided guidance when I needed it most, and celebrated every milestone with me. Their unconditional love and understanding has given me the strength and motivation to pursue my dreams and overcome any obstacles. I am forever grateful to them for being my rock and for contributing to the person I am today. Their presence in my life has made all the difference, and I couldn’t have achieved what I have without their unwavering support.
