Barstool CEO Erika Ayers Badan plans to publish book ‘Nobody Cares About Your Career’

November 2, 2023

Barstool Sports CEO Erika Ayers Badan plans to release a book next summer titled “Nobody Cares About Your Career” — and it promises an inside account of what it’s like to work for the company’s notorious founder Dave Portnoy, The Post has learned. NY Post Business reporter Shannon Thaler shares this story. When publisher Macmillan sends the book to shelves come June of next year, it will be three years in the making — and a culmination of the notes Ayers Baden has been jotting down on her phone during her hour-long daily commute from Connecticut to Barstool’s New York City headquarters. Ayers Badan was stingy on details — and said even Portnoy hasn’t yet gotten his hands on a copy of the manuscript. “Dave hasn’t read any of it yet,” Ayers Badan told The Post in an exclusive interview. “To be fair, I haven’t totally finished yet. I’m finishing it this week.” “When it publishes Dave — everybody — will have this,” she added of the Barstool staff, adding that she’s especially excited to show it to Barstool podcaster Brianna LaPaglia, known online as Brianna Chickenfry.
