Women Blazers

The One Where We Celebrate 100 Episodes

In this special episode, we welcome back Lisa Feigenbaum, Revenue & Strategy Sports Executive and Michelle Kajiwara, Sr. Vice President of Premium Business & Events for Crypto.com Arena for an engaging and reflective conversation.  What started as a passion project became an impact platform over the course of 5 seasons and 100 conversations with women in the sports industry who are either breaking barriers or on a journey to blaze trails. I believed that insights could be gained, new opportunities could be created, and many could be inspired through the amplification and representation of diverse voices, and thanks to this podcast my belief has be strengthened and I hope yours has too. I want to thank the 99 incredible women leaders who joined me for an episode and for sharing their personal journeys, experiences, and insights.  You created a light that others could follow and are an inspiration to many.  I also want to thank the many listeners, supporters, and our friends at the Pro Sports Assembly for supporting Women Blazers from the beginning.  This podcast was for you, and I am grateful for the motivation you provided to accomplish this milestone.
