Most athletes retire after their peak playing days, but they are still in the primes of their lives. Some transition into coaching, while others may find themselves on TV as analysts or commentators. But Spencer Richey has taken a different path after his 10-year MLS career.

The former Vancouver Whitecaps, Seattle Sounders, FC Cincinnati, and Chicago Fire goalkeeper has carved a new career for himself in the real estate industry, managing several properties including Missing Hotel, a boutique experiential resort in Marble Falls, Texas.

He joins the Urban Pitch Podcast to discuss his post-soccer pivot, what he misses from the game, and how he got into the world of real estate.

But first -- Julio and Ramsey discuss the ongoing infiltration of gambling in the world of sports, and how its prevalence has led to several scandals both in and out of soccer.
