ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Growing up and spending all of her career in the Northeast has provided Kathryn really incredible opportunities to cover a multitude of sports, teams, and players. She knew that she wanted to a sports broadcaster from an early age (middle school to be exact) and after playing college sports, she worked hard to get into the business. In this episode, Kathryn and I talk about the NHL's new plan to return to game action, what players and coaches are thinking during this time, and how NBC Sports is planning their broadcast coverage. We dive into the beginning of her career in local news, learning how to take criticism from people you trust, and knowing it's okay to reach the top and still be working on yourself.

And So She Goes

30. Kelly Brooks and Danijela Covic, Co-Founders, Quarter4

Kelly Brooks and Danijela Covic are Co-Founders of Quarter4, a startup that is the easiest-to-use, online predictive sports platform, incorporating AI and machine learning algorithms, as well as voice technology, to determine the probability of wins and losses and player vs player outcomes, in just minutes. My favorite part of their story (spoiler alert) is that it all happened on accident and now they are celebrating so much success.

This past summer, Melanie Newman was hired as the first woman play-by-play broadcaster for the Baltimore Orioles, making her only one of four active women in that role in the MLB. In this episode, we talk about all the "no's" that led her to this very important "yes", what several years in this industry has taught her, and how thankful she is for the opportunity to have a job that allows her to do so many different things like sideline reporting and hosting.

27. Ashley Brewer, Host, ESPN

As a collegiate swimmer, Ashley Brewer didn't look far past her daily laps in the pool until a random internship introduced her to TV. She was instantly hooked and has quickly made her way from local tv to the national level, recently signing on with ESPN to host a show for their new app, Quibi. She also hosts a new weekly radio show for the network on Sunday nights. Ashley will be making her SportsCenter debut soon, which we talk a lot about. In this episode, we discuss the stigma surrounding personal and work life balance, what her goals are for the end of the year, why supporting other women is so important, and how being yourself is the first step to achieving success.
