In this special Crossover episode with Bill Banham, host of the HRchat Podcast, Jamie talks with legendary Brown University Coach, Cornell University Athletic Hall of Famer and current Premier Hockey Federation (formerly NWHL) Toronto Six franchise president Digit Murphy.  Digit's newest entrepreneurial venture, Ruth is working to help level the playing field for women athletes and help high performers leverage the skills they’ve developed through high-level sports to transition into careers with top companies. Digit's became the winningest coach in NCAA Division 1 Women's Hockey during her time at Brown, has coached pro hockey in the US, Canada and China and co-founded the first pro lacrosse league in the US.  In this episode, Jamie and Bill chat with Digit about the difference in the networks and opportunities available to high-level female athletes vs. their male counterparts, how her own experiences as both a top level athlete and coach shaped her approach and passion to bring RUTH to fruition, why so many successful leaders come from athletic backgrounds and how the NWHL rebrand will help her athletes be defined by their talent and not their gender.
