In this episode of Get Real with Kacey Kasem, Kacey is joined by longtime fantasy football analyst and streaming strategy advocate Ryan Weisse. The two dive into Ryan's journey through the fantasy space, from discovering parlay sheets at age eight to writing top-five lists and team defense streamers for the Fantasy Footballers and Football Guys.

Ryan opens up about his early love of math, football, and backyard stats keeping, as well as his start in fantasy football before the internet took over. He shares how a supportive spouse helped launch his content journey, and how his passion for IDP formats and streaming helped him stand out.

Kacey and Ryan discuss burnout, protecting your mental health, and the real-life responsibilities behind fantasy content creation. They also touch on live chats, guest outreach, podcast flow, and what keeps content creators going year after year.

The episode is full of laughs, wisdom, and real talk about balancing family, creativity, and fantasy football. Tune in to hear why Ryan writes for himself first, how he embraces the fun in streaming kickers and defenses, and why being kind and protecting your joy are the most important parts of the game.
