This week we sit down with Manny and Rodger from The River Guard to talk about what it truly means to build a supporters culture from the ground up in Boise. From membership growth and partnerships to what dues help fund, we get an inside look at the passion driving the movement behind the goal.

We also dive into their recent Sarasota trip — connecting with away supporters, clubs, and creators — and preview what’s ahead for the first month of the season: watchalongs, tifo themes, song development, stadium plans, and more.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes into building the heartbeat of a club, this episode is for you.
