It’s no secret that Steven is passionate about futbol! But of course he is not alone. The moment of soccer becoming a major part of mainstream American culture is here, and in this episode Steven and Marisa bring on longtime media executive Jason Wagenheim, who is now the North American CEO of Footballco, to talk about what that means for brands. Do you know why soccer has been such a phenomenon in most other parts of the world? What’s the difference between youth sports here and everywhere else and how does that shape the creation of American stars? Whether you are a casual fan or never leave your house without wearing your team’s jersey, in this summer of Copa America, the Euro Cup and more… we think you’ll find this conversation pitch perfect.
