Ep. 42: Bonnie Bernstein

05/03/23 • 61 min

This week, Ashley and Lisa are joined by award-winning sports journalist Bonnie Bernstein to discuss a topic near and dear to their hearts. Inspired by a study that found 94% of female C-suite executives played competitive sports in their youth, Bonnie shares insights from her new Audible Originals series called She Got Game: Inspiring Women, Inspired by Sports.

Bonnie's adorable mom, Lois, also joins the conversation and shares how surprised she was when her daughter chose sports journalism over pursuing a career in classical music at Juilliard. Don't be surprised if the room gets a little dusty at the end, when mom and daughter share what they most admire about each other.

Bonnie is recognized by the American Sportscasters Association as one of the most accomplished female journalists in her field. The founder and CEO of Walk Swiftly Productions spent two decades of her Emmy-Award winning career at ESPN and CBS, and was the first person who inspired Ashley to pursue a career in sports broadcasting.
