In this episode, we sit down with Zoya Lehrer, founder of Orgo — the smart logistics calendar built for multi-sport, active families. Zoya immigrated to the US from Ukraine at age 9 and grew up in inner-city Brooklyn where parks and pavement were her playing field. That scrappy, resourceful background eventually led her to identify a massive problem hiding in plain sight: your calendar is lying to you. We unpack how Orgo goes beyond scheduling to show families how events actually happen — with prep time, drive time, carpool coordination, route optimization, and smart notifications built in. Plus, we dig into Orgo's signature concept, Time Literacy® — the executive life skill your kids aren't learning in school but need for everything that comes after. If you've ever felt like managing your family's sports schedule is a second full-time job, this one is for you.

Orgo Inc. is home to two products. Orgo App (www.orgohq.com) transforms scheduling events into real-world logistics for sports families and student athletes. Orgo Sync (www.orgosync.com) is the scheduling API that makes scheduling data intelligent, interoperable, and secure — for operators, platforms, and builders.

From the trenches to the top — meet Pace Academy's new head football coach After 15 years in the trenches coaching Pace Academy's offensive line, Kevin Johnson is stepping into the head coach role — and he brings one of the most decorated resumes in Georgia high school football with him. In this episode, Coach Johnson sits down with us to talk about his journey from Brooklyn youth football to the sidelines at Pace, what it means to lead a program with championship DNA, and why his mission goes far beyond wins and losses. "More than winning games, my goal is to help our student-athletes grow as leaders and individuals who carry these lessons beyond the field. It starts by building a foundation within. This is the opportunity of a lifetime." ABOUT COACH JOHNSON Kevin Johnson's coaching career is built on a simple belief — the lessons learned on the football field shape you for life. Before arriving at Pace in 2010, he cut his teeth coaching youth football in Brooklyn, New York, where his teams reached four state title games and won three, earning him Big Apple Coach of the Year honors in 2006, 2008, and 2009. At Pace, Johnson transformed the Knights' offensive line into one of the program's most consistent units, earning Offensive Line Coach of the Year recognition in 2014, 2015, and 2023. He was a key piece of the 2015 state championship staff — a team that produced four NFL players. As a student athlete himself, Johnson was a four-sport standout who earned all-state honors twice before going on to play college football at the University of South Carolina. He knows exactly what it takes to develop from a young athlete into a serious competitor — and now he's bringing that perspective to the head coach role.

🏈 Behind every great athlete is a parent who figured it out as they went. Alisha Jordan did exactly that — and now her 6'7" son CJ is a Tight End from Walton High School and commit to NC State. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on what it actually took: the process, the decisions, and the conversations most parents never have. If your child is making the leap from middle school to high school — or high school to college — this one is for you.
