31. Olivia Landis, Team Reporter and Podcast Host, New York Jets

11/19/20 • 40 min

When Olivia Landis moved from her home state of Colorado to the Northeast to become the Team Reporter for the New York Jets four years ago, she didn't imagine she would get to use her platform in such an impactful way. Recently, as part of the team's in-house production crew, Olivia has launched a podcast about women in sports. She produces and hosts the show, talking with big-name women in the industry. She joined me to talk about her career so far, what her hope is for her podcast, and the importance of focusing on the here and now (something I know I needed to hear).

Kelly Brooks and Danijela Covic are Co-Founders of Quarter4, a startup that is the easiest-to-use, online predictive sports platform, incorporating AI and machine learning algorithms, as well as voice technology, to determine the probability of wins and losses and player vs player outcomes, in just minutes. My favorite part of their story (spoiler alert) is that it all happened on accident and now they are celebrating so much success.

32. Renee Hanson, CEO and Founder, Vertical Athletics

Renee Hanson grew up tall. After serving in the Army, she decided to start a clothing line for kids who need long in-seams, just like she did. Fast forward 10 years later, and she is now one (if not the only) female-owned brand with official on-field rights with the MLB for her products. Manufacturing in the USA, Renee makes non-stick athletic headbands, and as of recently, face masks and neck gaiters. In this episode, Renee tells an awesome story about Phillies player Bryce Harper, the importance of pivoting as an entrepreneur, and what she's learned along the way.
