2. My name is Michael Nistico and I am an aspiring
Sportscaster at Full Sail University. Originally
from Long Island, New York, a very passionate
area for sports, I grew up around every major
sport and then some.
My main focuses are Hockey and Wrestling, but
I aim to be a recognizable voice for any sport I
get to call and talk about. My goal as a
Sportscaster is to be memorable and make the
viewing experience more enjoyable for the fans
at home like many of my role models have done
for me in sports.

You know about losing your audience? Well, what I do is bring passion and
excitement to everything I am involved in. In fact, I have had people tell me
they don’t even like soccer and they were excited about calls I have made.

Methodology:
Forbes valued more than 200 global brands by looking at three years of earnings and allocating a percentage of those earnings based on the role brands play in each industry (e.g., high for luxury goods and beverages, low for airlines and oil companies). We applied the average price-to-earnings multiple over the past three years to these earnings to arrive at the final brand value.
