AthMindset | Athlete Branding and Storytelling with FanWord Founder, Chris Aumueller

AthMindset | Athlete Branding and Storytelling with FanWord Founder, Chris Aumueller

FanWord founder, Chris Aumueller, joins the podcast to talk about athlete branding. Chris excelled in tennis at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and he now helps other athletes tell their stories and create their own brands. Chris’s goals surpass athletics and help to foster personal development in the lives of many athletes. This company’s goal is not only to help achieve an athlete’s financial goals but to also empower them to advocate for themselves.

Chris persistently refers to the topic of education and its importance in the NIL world. Through this conversation, light is shed on this topic. The goal of FanWord is to add value to athletes’ lives through partnership. Chris believes that building a brand is more valuable to a company than athletics. He also believes that every athlete has not just one story, but “1,000 stories”. Helping athletes communicate those stories in an authentic manner is Chris’s passion.

Chris has always had an entrepreneurial mind and that has served him well in his pursuit of success. He has created a program that works for the athlete. This program is accessible to any athlete, not just the star player. Chris says he “wanted to build something inclusive”. He aims to position his athletes for greatness. The human experience goes beyond the court or field, and that is what keeps audiences tuned in.

Topics Covered:

  • Education around the NIL world
  • Athlete Empowerment
  • Authentic Storytelling
  • Formulating a Brand
  • Personal Development
  • Mental Health in the NIL world
