My guest in the second episode is Ginevra Spinelli. Ginevra plays soccer at Grand View University and studies Media and Communications.

In this conversation, we talk about her journey of growing up as a girl playing soccer in Italy, the prejudice she had to face along the way, and how those experiences shaped her both on and off the field. Ginny also shares how she learned to deal with setbacks once she arrived in the US. Aside from soccer, we dive into her career aspirations in sports media, her goals for the future, and the cultural differences she has experienced between Europe and the United States.

My guest in the inaugural episode is soccer player Herman Furumo.

We talk about his soccer journey, from growing up with a father who played professionally to joining the academy of Champions League club Bodø/Glimt, and playing senior-level football at just 15 years old. Herman opens up about the doubts and struggles that came with early expectations, and how his path eventually led him to playing college soccer. Offthe pitch, we also dive into his love for traveling, the books that have had a meaningful impact on him, and how those experiences help him mentally — both on and off the field. Enjoy!
