President and co-founder of Angel City Football Club, Julie Uhrman, is my guest this week on Another Door Opens. Angel City is a new women’s professional soccer team that’s coming to Los Angeles in 2022, and it was founded by three women: Actor and activist Natalie Portman, venture capitalist Kara Nortman and entrepreneur Julie Uhrman. Just this week, head coach and assistant coaching positions were announced, as was the first player. Whether you listen because you love soccer, startups, business, empowering communities of people or leading with purpose, you’ll learn something from Julie in this interview. Julie has been named one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company and one of the Creative 50 by Ad Age. Previously, she served as EVP & GM of Over-The-Top Ventures for Lionsgate, building and managing the company’s multiple streaming franchises.

Tokyo Journal

This is a minisode! After returning to the United States from my recent trip to Tokyo, Japan, to cover the 2020 Olympic Games in 2021, I wanted to give you this as a small offering. My ability to really see the host city was limited on this Olympic run compared to times in the past, due mostly to the pandemic. But it was still a rich experience. Listen to this short episode to hear some of my observations and perspective this time around.

Fight Like A Girl with Jill Morley

Jill Morley is my guest this week on the podcast. She is a filmmaker, screenwriter, boxer and boxing coach. I admire Jill Morley for many reasons, foremost among them is her willingness to share some of the things she has lived and experienced in her life as a means to help others. This week on Another Door Opens, we talk about the documentary film she directed, Fight Like A Girl, which set out to explore the stories of a few female boxers and why they fight, but it was also an exploration of Jill’s own mental health struggles, where they started and how she used boxing to confront and combat some painful memories. That journey became a fight all its own for Jill — one she generously shares with the audience. That is the kind of artist Jill is: truthful, unfiltered, honest. When someone has the courage to be vulnerable, as Jill does, it gives a reminder that we can own our life experiences without judgment. And in doing so, the person who chooses to be open, is often rewarded with a feeling of being free. • Learn more about Jill at jillmorley.com [http://jillmorley.com] and follow her on social media @jillmorley. • Support the Another Door Opens podcast for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/anotherdooropens [http://patreon.com/anotherdooropens] and know you’re making the world a better place one conversation at a time. • Follow the Another Door Opens podcast on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook at @stephhimango and @podcastado. • Visit https://www.stephaniehimango.com to learn more about host, Stephanie Himango. • Another Door Opens drum beats by Eric Brown. #anotherdooropens #film #storytelling #documentaries #fightlikeagirl #boxing #mentalhealth #confidence #vulnerability #courage #openhearts #openminds #healing #womenboxers #femalefighters #martialarts #training #newyork #losangeles #ali #muhammadali #stripped #trueconfessionsofagogogirl #screenwriting #directing #femalefilmmakers #femaledirectors #grace #sisterhood #artist #love See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for privacy and opt-out information.
