Today we get an outside perspective looking in on Le Rouge's inaugural USL Championship season as we're about 2/3rds of the way in, what's next, the playoff situation, how they're settling into the league and of course previewing this Saturday's match on the road with the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Jer and Fletcher catch up on the porch to talk a little Detroit City FC.

Heads up, we'll be doing two episodes this week, a bit of a summer slowdown.

Our backup studio we were using after the fire is unavailable for a couple weeks, so we're scrambling to make podcasts however we can. The best move was to take a couple days and do a proper reset.

What are some of the keys to building a successful business in downtown Detroit?

Passage is a ticketing and payments company that found a niche working with smaller and medium sized events. They navigated through the pandemic not by retreating... but by investing. And it's paid off.

Alex Linebrink - the CEO and Co-Founder Passage is my guest to unpack all of that. He's got a lot of big, positive energy about the city and I think you'll hear it in this conversation.

Angelique Power, Logan Newman, and Mohammad Muntakim join me to talk about putting actual power in the hands of Detroit's youth and young adults.
