Is it possible that the heart of social entrepreneurship beats just as strongly in a stadium as in a startup? This is just one of the provocative questions we explored with Ron Patel on the latest Awarepreneurs podcast episode, hosted by our very own Paul Zelizer. Bio: Ron Patel is President of New Mexico United, the USL professional soccer club in Albuquerque. He co-founded the club in 2018 with Majority Owner/CEO Peter Trevisani and, as VP of Sales, helped drive league-leading attendance and merchandise while shaping a strong community brand. After leading a sports & entertainment group in McAllen, TX, he returned to New Mexico in 2021, became Chief Business Officer in 2022, and was named President in January 2024. Earlier, he founded “Just Dine In” (2006), expanded it through mergers to seven Western markets, and exited after its 2015 acquisition by Grubhub. Patel also founded Albuquerque Sol (2013) and helped lay the groundwork for New Mexico's first professional soccer franchise in United. This episode is sponsored by the coaching company of the host, Paul Zelizer. Consider a Strategy Session if you can use support growing your impact business.

Dean Johnson is transforming soccer in Northwest Arkansas through a remarkable dual role that few coaches would dare attempt. With one foot firmly planted in the OZFC Academy as U19 boys head coach and the other pioneering Northwest Arkansas Community College's first-ever men's soccer program, Johnson brings championship-winning expertise to a region hungry for soccer development.The London native's journey to NWA follows a fascinating path through American soccer's landscape. After arriving in 2011 to play college ball, Johnson progressed through junior college to Division I competition before a brief professional stint with the Charlotte Eagles in USL. His coaching career reveals an uncanny ability to transform programs – from winning a national championship at Wayland Baptist just two years into coaching to turning Northeast Texas Community College from a middling program into the nation's top-ranked junior college team."I would like to think I'm a bit of a specialist in flipping programs at this point," Johnson says with earned confidence. "But actually, from ground zero, this would be the first time." That's exactly what he faces at NWACC – building without fields, dorms, or players, just vision and determination.Meanwhile, his OZFC Academy team has exploded out of the gates, scoring 20 goals while conceding just one in their first weekend of competition. Beyond impressive scorelines, Johnson is implementing sophisticated tactical approaches, introducing his players to formations and styles they've never experienced before.Perhaps most valuable is Johnson's ability to guide players through their next steps. Having navigated the complex American soccer system himself, he offers clear-eyed advice about college recruitment. "The journey is different for every kid," he explains, debunking myths that Division I is automatically superior to other pathways.Johnson's coaching philosophy distills to a simple truth that today's young players desperately need to hear: "You can't outwork work... that may be the one or two percent that pushes you over the edge."Ready to follow this exciting soccer journey?
