We have a classic restaurant news update on this week's Access Louisville podcast. LBF Restaurant Reporter Michael L. Jones is on the show to share some of his latest reporting. We start off on the surprising news that Joy Luck has closed its two locations in the area. The Asian fusion eatery, which had locations in the Highlands and on the East End, has been a staple of the local restaurant scene over the last nine years. The restaurants were owned by brothers Alvin and Brendan Lin. The two opened the Highlands location in 2013, and the East End restaurant followed in 2016.Jones also has some news on Playa Bowls, which is replacing the Highlands restaurant. New Jersey-based Playa Bowls specializes in bowls containing superfoods like acai, pitaya, chia pudding, and more. We also chat about Limon Y Sal, a new modern Mexican restaurant that opened recently at to 3900 Shelbyville Road. The nearly 7,500-square-foot space was previously occupied by The Raven, which closed last May.We also talk about the food and drinks on offer this season at Lynn Family Stadium. And we go over new locations for Bubba's 33 as well as Swig and Highlands Fish Market that are coming to the area soon.After the restaurant talk, we discuss new regulations on the hemp beverage industry. As well as a new promotion and relegation system adopted by the United Soccer League, of which Louisville City FC is a part.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are fired up about the United Soccer League launching a new Division One League in 2027-28. Details on timeline, competition format, and clubs participating will be announced in coming months. The big question remains, is promotion/relegation in the cards for the new league? Over in Europe, Captain Weston McKennie led Juventus to a Derby D'Italia win, and Tim Weah stepped up big on defense. Josh Sargent continued his scoring streak for Norwich. He currently holds the most goals for a single team in the Championship since his debut in 2022. Daryl Dike was back in action after a long awaited return and Paxton Aaronson headed a goal in for Utrecht.

He shoots, writes, and edits short and long form feature stories, and has gained experience in covering College and Professional teams and covering events like March Madness, Triple Crown Horse Racing, PGA Tour, and MLS Cup.  He's also covered American soccer through his podcast, "The Cleared Off the Line Podcast" as well as covering the Charleston Battery, and even provided Color Commentating for my beloved Maryland Bobcats. Originally from the Annapolis area, we discussed local soccer in the DMV, and his personal journey in the game. From there, we talk extensively about the United Soccer League, which currently operates in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tier of the US pyramid and which recently announced ambitions of joining the 1st tier of the pyramid.

A big time change coming to U.S. soccer could mean Louisville's best opportunity for a new top-tier sports team. And we chat about it on the Access Louisville podcast. As LBF reported on Thursday, The United Soccer League is planning to launch a division one professional soccer league which will directly compete with Major League Soccer at the top of the U.S. soccer pyramid. LouCity FC currently plays at the second tier of the pyramid in the USL Championship league. While nothing has been officially announced, there are strong hints that Louisville would move up to the top once the new league is launched.As we talk about on the show, USL President Paul McDonough mentioned Louisville soccer specifically in two separate press interviews — one with the Athletic and one with the Guardian. We talk about why this could be an exciting development — though not without it's growing pains. As we discuss, Lynn Family Stadium, where LouCity FC plays, can get tight when too many fans show up. There's also the question of the long-awaited development that was supposed to happen around the stadium — something that's surely among Louisville's biggest development opportunities.We also spoke about Greater Louisville Inc.'s new economic development strategy. The plan includes a talent attraction strategy around wooing people back to Louisville who used to live here — referred to as boomerangs. That's already been something that occurs naturally in a lot of cases. And we talk about Trevor Pawl, the new CEO of Louisville Economic Development Alliance (LEDA), who seems to be bringing fresh perspective to the realm. We wrap up with a discussion about Humana CEO Jim Retchin, who spoke at GLI's annual meeting this week.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

The Hartford Athletic started playing in the United Soccer League in 2019. Chairman Bruce Mandell started the club with his partners as a way to create something for the community and help the city economically. “I've always been involved in the community, and I wanted to do something really big for Hartford and wanted to bring people together and have a spot in Hartford to do that,” Mandell said. “Whether it's, you know, parents with their kids, or whether it's soccer fans, or whether it's people coming out to have a great time, we got to get our niche, and our fans have been unbelievable.” In 2020, the Athletic established the Green and Blue Foundation, raising money to give back to the community in different ways. “You know, that feels good to kind of utilize the Hartford athletic brand to support these community elements that really need help,” Mandell said.

This was a special one for me. Tracy Noonan was one of the first powerful female coaches and role models I had as a player. To me, she continues to represent a hard ass work ethic. She encourages the big wins players experience in life, on and off the field. Tracy has played with the best and trained the best. The environment she creates is a testament to her experiences, mirroring the work ethic she embodies. From playing for UNC Chapel Hill, representing the US Women's Soccer team, being a founding player for the Women's United Soccer League, coaching in college, and creating Dynasty Goalkeeping, Tracy's resume is packed with unique experiences that she carries with her. She helped to shape the game that we have all been fortunate enough to play. I learned a lot during this episode, and I am so grateful to have learned from one of the greats. As always, thank you for listening ◡̈ xoxo, G [removed] Dynasty Goalkeeping website Genevieve's Podcasts --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/genevieve-henderson/message

Shaun Cameron Wright-Phillips (born 25 October 1981) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Premier League and Football League for Manchester City, Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers, in Major League Soccer for the New York Red Bulls, in the United Soccer League for the New York Red Bulls II and Phoenix Rising FC, and at senior international level for the England national team. Shaun joins Steven to talk about his incredible sporting career, the legacy living on through his family and what the future holds for the Wright-Phillips name, and how the game of football is changing. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's not enough to take the name you're given and lean on the history behind it. You have to put your own stamp on history. You have to try to do even better than those who came before you. The one thing you can't teach is raw talent. There are certain skills that are born into you, and that cannot be taught by any coach. There needs to be room for human error in football, especially when it comes to officiating. It adds to the drama and stokes debate, which is what keeps passion alive. BEST MOMENTS 'They lean on the past to promote the future' 'If you love something, you'll find your way in it' 'I love human error' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study        Shaun Wright-Phillips Twitter - www.twitter.com/swp29 ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.

Today on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast we have a fascinating conversation about how soccer is a compelling alternative investment. We talk with Justin Papadakis, the COO & Chief Real Estate Officer of the United Soccer League. The USL is the largest and one of the fastest growing professional soccer organizations in the United States. Justin and I had a fascinating conversation about how sports and investing are emerging in large part because of the collision of culture and finance.We discussed: How soccer is such an underrated investment opportunity. How the USL has seen a rise in team valuations from the hundreds of thousands to some teams valued in the $60-70M range — with a big opportunity to increase revenues through various revenue streams that include media, player transfers, sports betting, stadium related revenue, real estate related revenue. How the intersection of sports and real estate factors into the investment thesis for sports teams. How the transition to OTT media can positively impact sports league and team revenue. How more more professional investors and funds are now becoming involved and investing into sports teams and what this means for the development of sports as an investable asset class. How women's soccer is a sleeping giant and what the USL is doing to help make it an investable opportunity. How democratizing access to sports ownership through crowdfunding and DAOs — and the power of community — can play a role in the sports investment landscape in the future. In his current role, Justin oversees numerous departments that are critical to the league's success, including expansion, stadium development, digital media, emerging technology, finance, and human resources.Justin combines a real estate background, having worked six years at a REIT, with his soccer playing and sports management experience as he navigates building a league that is expanding in leaps and bounds. He holds a JD from Cleveland Marshall College of Law and earned a dual degree in public policy and economics from Duke University, where he also served as a goalkeeper on the Blue Devils soccer team.Thanks Justin for coming on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast to talk about how the beautiful game is continuing to grow thanks to the world of investing.

Welcome to THE FAN EXPERIENCE, A Phoenix Rising Supporters Podcast - Episode 44! In this episode... Finally we got to see the boys back on the field and what a night it was! It was a preseason friendly against a top team from the Eastern Conference, Louisville City FC but honestly, there was absolutely nothing friendly about it. It was full on!! The teams shared the spoils as the game finished in a tie, 2 all. Rising fan James Bacon is with us to talk through the action, including that new goal kick technique that we're not so sure about. Lots of take aways, lots of highlights, lots of fun. Kelley McCarthy bring us part 4, the final part of our special off-season segment called "Where are they now?". In this segment Kelley looks at former Phoenix Rising favorites, she brings us up to speed about where they are now and she reflects on whether their time with Phoenix Rising benefited their careers. A fun segment with a serious side. This week a little more serious than fun as she turns the spotlight to Junior Flemmings (@Flemmo_77 on Twitter) who had incredible seasons with Rising but his time was marred by a controversy that put him, the club, and the league in a national spotlight. In recent months he made headlines again after accepting a transfer to a European team that reportedly paid the highest transfer fee ever for a player from the United Soccer League. So much to unpack! John Morrissey (@USLTactics on Twitter) from The USL Tactics Show brings us the latest news from around the USL. Another jam packed episode and it's still just the preseason!

*rummages around inside the BPFC Time Capsule* By Jove, it's another full episode of The World's Greatest Podcast™©®; brought to you by the sauciest team in the game with undoubtedly the spiciest takes on the pitch. Judging by the contents of this episode? This one might as well be marinaded in ghost chilli sauce because hoo boy! That's a spicy meat-a-ball! This episode (recorded 3 June 2021) sees El Capitan Neal, Ama, Adam, Jonathan, and Joseph sliding into The Pub to discuss Manchester City bottling it in the UEFA Champions League final against Chelsea; the European football manager carousel which includes (but isn't limited to) Antonio Conte's departure from Inter Milan, Carlo Ancelotti moving back to Real Madrid, Massimiliano Allegri returning to Juventus, and more; the Major League Soccer, United Soccer League, and National Women's Soccer League tables in a fiery edition of Around The Pitch. The Main Segment sees the boys previewing how they thought UEFA EURO 2020 was going to go down. They each make their picks (most of them were horribly wrong except for Jonathan), discussing which teams will surprise and which teams will disappoint. It's a wild ride, we have to say. Kicking off Extra Time, everyone weighs in on the announcement of Major League Soccer's creation of an artificial promotion/relegation system and what implications that it will have on the United States football pyramid going forward. To conclude, the mandem each take some time (some going longer than the allotted 30 seconds, we'll grant you... but we've paid the costs to be the bosses) to talk about what was on their minds that week. #BingeTheBanter rolls on as we get two more episodes and a Set Piece ready for that ass. Act like you know. The Pub Awaits. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
