The GIST - You’re one in a million 💃
Hey there!
We’re sliding into your inbox today to share some incredibly exciting news: The GIST has officially surpassed 1 million subscribers. 🎉
We’re so humbled and grateful to reach this milestone — it means the world to us and The GIST team.
When we founded The GIST in 2017, the industry looked very different compared to today. Women’s sports and female athletes received less than 4% of sports media coverage, less than 14% of sports journalists were women, and female fans were seen as an afterthought.
The overwhelmingly male suits who held decision-making power constantly underestimated women’s sports, female journalists, and diverse fandom, leaving a massive void. And that’s where The GIST came in.
Reaching this milestone didn’t come without hardships, but having 1 million subscribers undoubtedly proves the naysayers wrong.
One million of you show that centering diverse voices, providing equal coverage of men’s and women’s sports, and servicing all types of sports fans isn’t only good business, it truly levels the playing field.
And you’re a massive reason why The GIST is so special. 🤗
Whether you’ve been here since our early days or joined recently, we are beyond grateful to have you as part of this movement. Each time you read a newsletter, share an Instagram post, or listen to The GIST of It, you’re helping to advance equality in sports.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💗
This milestone isn’t about reaching a big number — it’s about the power of community. Together, we’ve created something bigger than we ever imagined, and we’re so excited for what’s next.
The GIST is just getting started, and we can’t wait to continue growing with you.
Love always,
Ellen & Jacie
Co-founders, The GIST
