ABOUT THIS EPISODE

After growing up in a basketball family and playing herself, Cayleigh made the decision in college to put the ball down and pick up a microphone instead. Since then, she's has had the privilege of working for 3 NBA teams, the San Antonio Spurs, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and now the Houston Rockets. We talk about what it’s like working for 3 powerhouse teams in the NBA, interviewing big names like Russell Westbrook, and James Harden, and Coach Popovich, and so many others. Cayleigh had an unfortunate setback early in her career that she talks about, and we also get into whether or not basketball will be played again this season. Cayleigh offers great insight into life as a reporter in the NBA, the camaraderie between other females around the league, and her relationship with her mentor, Doris Burke.

32. Renee Hanson, CEO and Founder, Vertical Athletics

Renee Hanson grew up tall. After serving in the Army, she decided to start a clothing line for kids who need long in-seams, just like she did. Fast forward 10 years later, and she is now one (if not the only) female-owned brand with official on-field rights with the MLB for her products. Manufacturing in the USA, Renee makes non-stick athletic headbands, and as of recently, face masks and neck gaiters. In this episode, Renee tells an awesome story about Phillies player Bryce Harper, the importance of pivoting as an entrepreneur, and what she's learned along the way.

31. Olivia Landis, Team Reporter and Podcast Host, New York Jets

When Olivia Landis moved from her home state of Colorado to the Northeast to become the Team Reporter for the New York Jets four years ago, she didn't imagine she would get to use her platform in such an impactful way. Recently, as part of the team's in-house production crew, Olivia has launched a podcast about women in sports. She produces and hosts the show, talking with big-name women in the industry. She joined me to talk about her career so far, what her hope is for her podcast, and the importance of focusing on the here and now (something I know I needed to hear).
