Hello friends! 👋
Welcome to the SportsGrad Podcast: The ultimate guide to make it in the sports industry!
Each week we share how people made it in sports and tease out their career decisions, work habits, skills, and everything they do that makes them great.
All so you can learn how to get in, get promoted, and get thriving in the sports industry.
Meet Lucy and Emma Race, sisters who are the co-founders of Making The Call.
If you haven’t heard of Making The Call, it’s an organisation that develops and delivers pathway programs for women and non binary people in sports media.
Additionally, they’re co-creators of the award winning Outer Sanctum Podcast, and between them, they are public speakers, broadcasters, board members and producers - just all-round media weapons!
Today we dive deep into their cohort program, Making The Call, how it came to be, where they found the inspiration, how they developed the content, how it’s grown from strength to strength and how you can get involved.
If you’re keen to learn more on how to crack the media industry, make sure to give this episode a listen!
