Looking to Connect with Podcast Hosts, Creators, and People Who Believe in Helping Others Grow Hello everyone, My name is Zack Bolin, and I'm from Shelbyville, Indiana. I'm the founder of KZB Racing and the creator of The Collegiate Turn, a podcast focused on collegiate sim racing, motorsports, and the people who make these communities what they are. I've been involved in racing games and sim racing for most of my life, and I'm currently a student at Indiana University East, where I'm involved in collegiate esports. Over the past several months, I've been working to turn something I've loved since childhood into something much bigger. I've been reaching out to colleges, businesses, racing organizations, and media outlets, trying to build connections and bring more attention to collegiate sim racing. I've been fortunate enough to have my story featured in my hometown newspaper, The Shelbyville News, and to have opportunities to share my journey through local radio. I've also started building relationships with people throughout the racing and esports communities. One thing that's especially important to me is finding ways to give back. I've also been involved in efforts supporting foster care awareness through KidsPeace, and I'd love to find more ways to use the platform I'm building to make a positive difference. I've recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to help continue growing this project, but I'm realizing that building something from the ground up takes more than just determination. It takes people who are willing to share advice, make introductions, and sometimes just give someone an opportunity to tell their story. That's really why I'm here. I'm hoping to connect with podcast hosts who might be interested in having me as a guest. I'm not limiting myself to racing or gaming podcasts. I'd love to have conversations about entrepreneurship, working toward a dream, balancing college and personal responsibilities, building something without a large budget, or simply what it's like trying to find your place in an industry. I'm also looking for guests and collaborators for The Collegiate Turn. You don't have to be involved in racing to have an interesting story worth sharing. I'm not coming into this with a massive following or pretending to have everything figured out. I'm someone who's putting in the work, learning as I go, and hoping to meet people who understand what it means to start with an idea and try to make something meaningful out of it. If you're a podcast host, content creator, producer, or simply someone who might know a person worth connecting with, I'd genuinely appreciate the opportunity to talk. Even if we're not a good fit for a collaboration, advice or a simple introduction would mean a lot. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to getting to know some of you.
