Between Clean Sheets

When El Traffico was unexpectedly postponed, I was desperate to salvage my weekend in Pasadena. Well, sometimes bumpy roads lead to beautiful places! My guest, Megan Reyes was also in town and better yet, was willing to meet me IRL. Megan is one of my favorite online creators, with experience in soccer and basketball. She is EVERYTHING: a social media consultant and specialist, and influencer, a show host, a strong advocate for mental health and for marginalized communities. This was the perfect get-to-know-you conversation, and a must-listen for anyone who shares themselves or their love of sports online.

Miguel Berry played for DC United once. This interview was recorded in that fleeting moment 😅. After graduating from the University of San Diego in 2020, Miguel was selected by Columbus Crew with the seventh overall pick in the MLS SuperDraft. After winning the Cup with them, he came to Washington, DC in the summer of 2022. He currently plays for Atlanta United.

Allow me to introduce Colin and Mike! Their friendship began on a club soccer team in college and blossomed into over a decade of world travel, spanning four World Cup cycles. This year, they're experiencing their first Women's World Cup in New Zealand and Australia. I had the pleasure of speaking with them for their pod (listen here) last month. Follow them on Instagram. ✌🏼♥️⚽️

In September 2023, Andrew Vassiliadis broke the news that San Diego Loyal, the USL Championship team where he served as Chairman, would cease operations at the end of the season. In four short years, Andrew built a team and community that will be remembered as a true embodiment of its namesake. Andrew knew the Loyal were a story worth preserving and this summer he released 619 copies of The Loyal Legacy, a coffee table book honoring every detail of the team's existence. Our conversation came after Andrew kindly agreed to deliver a copy to me while I stopped in San Diego on my roadtrip. For more about the book, you can watch this interview on Youtube or check out my Instagram.

I'm catching you up on how I've been since my front tooth extraction, what it's been like being ✨ unemployed ✨ and chat Major League Soccer with Washington Post's Steven Goff. We talk about his op-ed re: why the league persevered through the international break and what it means for their longterm credibility. And then I end with a little unboxing :) you know, influencer things :) :)
