Podcasts about stoppage time

This week's episode is one of those rare gems that hits deep, challenges your thinking, and leaves you feeling fired up and hopeful.We sit down with Matt Schaar from Accion Venture Labs for a powerful and thought-provoking discussion on the real purpose of capital in today's world. From his unlikely path as a rocket scientist to becoming an impact investor, Matt shares a journey that reminds us all that life isn't linear — it's a winding, purpose-filled adventure.This episode is packed with insights that go beyond business-as-usual. We dig into how venture capital can be a tool for good, not just profit. We talk about leaning into inclusivity in difficult times, the undeniable economic power of women (yes, 40% of truck drivers in Pakistan are women!), and why thinking globally — in every sense — is the future of sustainable entrepreneurship.If you've been feeling the weight of this year, especially as a founder, investor, or leader, this episode might be exactly what you need. Vulnerable, energizing, and full of perspective — it's like an MBA for the soul.Hit play, stay for the whole ride, and let yourself be inspired.

Ever wondered what truly separates exceptional soccer players from the rest? The answer might surprise you. In this Stoppage Time edition of the Pitch to Pro podcast, we dive deep into player development, purpose, and the exciting soccer landscape emerging in Northwest Arkansas. The conversation explores how finding meaning beyond your career creates a foundation for success, not just in soccer, but in life. When you're self-aware enough to identify what truly matters, you can align your career path accordingly.The spotlight then turns to the groundbreaking MLS Next program in Northwest Arkansas, an initiative creating unprecedented opportunities for local talent. "We want people to know, man, Arkansas has good soccer players," says Kevin Tello, highlighting how this program bridges the exposure gap that many talented players face in the region. For families considering this path, the program promises committed coaches, structured development, and potential pathways to collegiate and professional opportunities.Most fascinating is the discussion about what elite coaches actually look for in players. While technical skills and athleticism matter, the distinguishing factors are often intangible: how players approach training, their intensity even in simple drills, and whether they push teammates to excel. Division I coaches increasingly evaluate prospects based on preparation habits, post-practice dedication, and interpersonal interactions, recognizing that in today's landscape, culture can be as important as talent.Ready to discover more insights that could transform your understanding of player development?

In this week's extended Stoppage Time episode, we dive into reflections and fresh takeaways from my fascinating conversation with Scottish entrepreneur Chris Herd — the founder of Firstbase, which was recently acquired by AppDirect after raising millions in venture capital from top-tier firms like Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz.Joining us from his hometown of Aberdeen, Chris shares powerful insights on the future of remote work, building entrepreneurial ecosystems beyond Silicon Valley, and what it really means for a founder to exit a company. We also take a surprising historical turn, uncovering Scotland's deep and often overlooked influence on the industrial and modern economic world.This is more than just a conversation about startups and remote work — it's a thoughtful, personal, and at times philosophical journey through leadership, legacy, and the evolution of work over the next 50 years.If you're into entrepreneurship, remote-first thinking, or just love hearing from passionate, grounded leaders who think big — this one's for you.So sit back, press play, and stay with me through the full episode — you'll be glad you did.

Money makes the beautiful game possible, but what happens behind the scenes to fund a professional soccer franchise? This revealing Stoppage Time edition of Pitch to Pro pulls back the curtain on the complex investment structures that can make or break a soccer club.We dive deep into the critical role of the primary investor in professional soccer, exploring US Soccer's strict requirements and the valuable lessons learned from past failures. The tragic story of the North American Soccer League (NASL) serves as a cautionary tale—despite attracting global stars like Pelé in the 1970s, the league collapsed because owners couldn't sustain the initial years of inevitable financial losses. Contrast this with MLS, where committed investors who weathered years in the red now own franchises worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The episode reveals our exciting new partnership with Prospect Park, a group with extensive experience working with family offices nationwide and specific expertise in USL investments. They'll lead our search for a primary investor for the Northwest Arkansas project, with the goal of securing this crucial piece within approximately a year. Once identified, potential investors undergo rigorous vetting by the USL, ensuring they have the financial stability to weather challenges like we saw during COVID-19. Most importantly, we share why our project has become more attractive to investors since shifting to a new development model featuring a mixed-use facility on new land.Whether you're a soccer fan curious about the business side of the sport, a potential investor, or someone interested in sports franchise development, this episode provides valuable insights into how professional soccer continues to grow in America. Subscribe to Pitch to Pro for more behind-the-scenes looks at bringing professional soccer to Northwest Arkansas, and share your thoughts on what aspects of soccer business you'd like us to explore next.

In this episode, we unpack powerful insights from Episode 157 of Entrepreneurial Thinkers, featuring Matt Petersen, CEO of LACI (Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator). But this isn't just a recap—it's a passionate, real-world call to action about why cities are the true drivers of climate progress, how the transition to a clean green economy is not just idealistic—but economically inevitable, and why taking responsibility in your own community truly matters.From the grassroots to city halls, from personal anecdotes to political realities, this conversation goes beyond headlines. Uncle Rob ties together the threads of innovation, civic action, and climate urgency—with a dose of hope and a nudge to step up.

Check out this Stoppage Time Special from Ep. 18: What Makes a Good Soccer Crest?What's the difference between a forgettable logo and an iconic football crest that fans proudly tattoo on their bodies? Our latest Stoppage Time segment dives deep into the art and science behind the badges that represent the world's most beloved clubs.A truly great crest tells a compelling story that resonates with supporters on a visceral level. It's not just about aesthetics – though shapes, colors, and symbols all play crucial roles. The most powerful badges serve as visual ambassadors for a club's mission and values while simultaneously celebrating the unique character of their local community.We explore how traditional shield designs pay homage to medieval heraldry while modern circular badges create a sense of unity. The psychology behind color choices reveals fascinating insights: reds and oranges convey aggression and passion, blues represent loyalty, greens connect to nature, and occasionally, a club like Inter Miami boldly embraces pink to establish a distinctive identity. From Chelsea's lion to Barcelona's bull, symbolic elements enrich each crest with deeper meaning, often drawing from regional folklore or landmarks that ground the club in its hometown.This segment sets the stage for the full exploration of iconic crests from Europe's top five leagues in Ep. 18. Whether you're a design enthusiast, football history buff, or simply curious about the visual identities that inspire such passionate devotion, you'll gain a fresh appreciation for the badges that transform sporting organizations into beloved cultural institutions.

Check out this Stoppage Time special from Ep. 41 - Her Game Too: Fighting for Equality in Soccer - Part 2!Gender equality in soccer remains an uphill battle, especially in communities where women's participation is still considered unusual. "I don't know many women my age who watch soccer... it's me and my dad, that's all I know about soccer fans," shares Jenn Ramczyk, one of the co-founders of Her Game Too USA, highlighting how isolating the experience can be for female enthusiasts in certain regions of the country.The Her Game Too movement is confronting these challenges head-on with strategic priorities for 2025. Education stands as their foremost mission—creating awareness that soccer truly belongs to everyone, regardless of gender. This need becomes painfully evident when we hear about an eight-year-old girl being told by a boy her same age that "she wasn't allowed to play the game." Such early manifestations of gender exclusion demonstrate why education must target both girls and boys from the youngest ages.Funding grassroots programs forms the second pillar of their strategy, recognizing that early positive experiences are where children develop their love for soccer before societal barriers intervene. The third initiative focuses on forging partnerships with clubs at every level—from local recreational leagues to professional organizations—without financial barriers to participation. These partnerships manifest through visible symbols like the Her Game Too patch on jerseys and dedicated fixtures that elevate women's matches.Perhaps most powerful is the conversation around female coaching representation. When young girls see themselves reflected in leadership positions, they're more likely to believe soccer is truly their game too. Unfortunately, female coaches continue facing skepticism about their abilities solely based on gender, with comments like "I don't want my child coached by a girl" still pervasive in youth soccer. Changing this mentality forms a critical component of creating truly inclusive soccer environments where all participants can thrive.Want to support the movement for gender equality in soccer? Tune in to our full episodes and discover how you can become part of creating positive change in your local soccer community!

Soccer's ascent in America has been remarkable – once considered a foreign oddity, it now captivates millions across the country. This Stoppage Time edition of the Pitch to Pro podcast explores this transformation through the eyes of passionate supporters who've witnessed the sport's incredible growth firsthand.We dive deep into what makes supporting a national team different from club allegiance. While club soccer may showcase superior technical skills due to players training together year-round, there's something uniquely powerful about watching professionals return to represent their homeland. As Al Schaefer puts it, "It's fun to have pride for something that matters to you."American soccer fans experience a fascinating duality: cheering for the globally dominant Women's National Team while embracing the underdog journey of the Men's squad. This contrast creates a rich emotional landscape where supporters can experience both the thrill of expected success and the nail-biting tension of potential upset victories. Recent challenges, like the Men's 5-1 loss to Colombia despite fielding players from the world's top leagues, highlight the ongoing evolution of US Soccer's standing on the international stage.The conversation also explores how national team coaches face fundamentally different challenges than their club counterparts. While club managers can buy and sell players to fit their preferred style, international managers must adapt their approach to the citizenship-limited talent pool available to them – a constraint that creates unique strategic considerations.Curious about the growing soccer culture in America? Watch the full episode to hear more perspectives on how this once-niche sport has become a defining part of our national sporting identity.

Soccer has a unique power to unite people across boundaries, but two significant challenges threaten this unity: the pressure adults put on young players and the barriers women face as fans. This special Stoppage Time edition of Pitch to Pro explores these crucial conversations through highlights from Part 1 of our conversation with Her Game Too.When it comes to youth soccer, Jenn and Natasha share a critical insight: we're failing our youngest players by prioritizing winning over enjoyment. "Starting them young to fall in love with the game is where we're lacking," notes Jenn, highlighting how the pressure to perform steals joy from three-year-olds who should be discovering soccer through play. Parents and coaches often unwittingly sabotage children's relationship with sports by imposing adult expectations. The solution? Support their exploration, protect their enthusiasm, and help them find what they genuinely love about the game.The episode also illuminates the powerful story behind Her Game Too, a movement fighting sexism in soccer culture. What began with a group of UK women tired of hearing "get back in the kitchen" at matches quickly went viral, revealing a widespread problem. Fascinatingly, the movement's expansion to America uncovered cultural differences in how sexism manifests – British women face explicit verbal harassment, while American women encounter surprised reactions to their knowledge and unwanted touching in sports bars. Despite the prominence of women's soccer in America, female fans still struggle for acceptance, challenging perceptions that the US had moved beyond these issues.Through personal stories of bringing Her Game Too across the Atlantic, we witness how grassroots movements can create meaningful change when ordinary fans step into leadership roles they never imagined for themselves. Whether you're a parent, coach, or fan concerned about soccer's future, these conversations provide valuable perspective on making the beautiful game truly accessible to everyone.
