In this episode of The Mindcast Show, we sit down with Scott Hirsch, a Florida-based internet entrepreneur, professional boxing manager, and one of the earliest pioneers of online marketing in America. At the start of our conversation, Scott takes us back to his roots, from building one of the first virtual storefronts in the original AOL Mall with Lens Express in the early 1990s, to navigating the dot-com boom and selling his data and email marketing company in the aftermath of 9/11. He shares the business philosophy that kept him profitable while others burned through VC money and collapsed in the dot-com crash, and what it really felt like to sell a company he had built from nothing. We then dive deep into his world in professional boxing, where Scott managed five-time world champion Cory Spinks and heavyweight contender Shannon Briggs, earning WBO Boxing Manager of the Year in 2006. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to manage a fighter, the negotiations, the grind of seven fights in eighteen months, and what it means to believe in someone when the biggest networks in boxing have turned their backs on them. The conversation spans the evolution of the sport itself, from the traditional promoter model Scott operated in, to the Saudi money reshaping boxing today, Jake Paul's rise as both a fighter and a promoter, the Zufa boxing venture, and why the fight business has always rewarded those willing to take calculated risks. Scott also reflects on fatherhood, sharing candid stories about watching his son Zach build his career in sports media from the ground up, including early days training in Logan Paul's backyard, a brush with the FBI in Las Vegas, and the parenting philosophy of stepping back and letting your kid find his own path. Whether you're into boxing, entrepreneurship, sports media, or the mindset it takes to spot an opportunity before anyone else does, this conversation is packed with real experience and perspective from someone who has lived it across multiple industries.
