When we first began following Steve Gray’s content on Instagram, we found it meaningfully witty.

When we were finally able to get him to our podcast, we wanted to know more about that journey. Of course, it helped a great deal that he was so kind and approachable throughout the process.

We believe in the power of stories, and this one is truly special. It's not just about sports, but also about celebrating the incredible journeys of women who are leaving a significant impact on the sports landscape in our country.

In a nation where the sports industry is at a nascent stage, it's crucial to shine a spotlight on the women who are breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation.
