Lauren is a graduate from the University of Michigan, former in-arena host for some of the professional Detroit sports teams, and currently a host and reporter for AltitudeTV out in Denver, Colorado covering the Avalanche and Rapids. But more importantly, Lauren is a daughter, sister, friend, (an athlete), and mentor. From a young age Lauren fell in love with sports and the way that it brought her family together. Now, Lauren is able to channel that love and tell stories through the sports she covers. Sports are incredible and so are the athletes that play them; so it’s really cool to see that Lauren is so passionate about sharing the stories that these athletes have. It really humanizes these public figures and shows that at the end of the day, even professional athletes are people, too. Being able to see them as humans and hear their personal journeys can be really impactful. Lauren is someone who brings so much passion and energy to everything that she does. Whether its through her career, music, or simply just being a friend, I know that Lauren will continue to use her platform for good and make a huge difference in this world.

Wishing Lauren absolutely nothing but the best, but we miss you in Michigan! In this episode, Lauren talks about the three pieces of advice she would give to anyone, the importance of mentorship, following your passions, grounding yourself, and so much more!
