When you think of women's sports you might think of soccer, figure skating, basketball, track and field, or gymnastics. But when was the last time you thought about professional women's football? If you are like me, most likely never. But there is a growing movement of women playing elite football. Adrienne is one of the women but her journey is so much deeper. She's bringing together sports, education, and entertainment to create something special. As a football player, she has won multiple national championships. As an entertainer, she has acted in shows like 'Orange Is the New Black.' And in education, she has used her entrepreneurial skills to launch 'Blitz Champz.'
In the conversation today, Adrienne shares her story of how she went to Columbia for an MBA only to discover that there was a place for her to pursue football. We talk about the state of women's football and how it is maturing into something pretty special.
Later in the conversation, we talk about her passion for entrepreneurship and how education drives the mission of the businesses she builds. Amazing brands like Blitz Champz, Gridiron Queendom, and Harlem Hip-Hop Tours.
Join us as we cover a lot of ground and get inspired by the life of Adrienne Smith.
