Lily Shimbashi on Building Sportsish, ESPN & the Rise of Women in Sports

Lily Shimbashi, founder and CEO of Sportsish, joins Monica Madrid to kick off a new season of the Football Is Sexy Podcast. Lily shares how one moment inside an NBA broadcast truck changed the course of her career and ultimately inspired her to build Sportsish, a sports media brand created with women fans in mind. She opens up about starting from zero, growing a company before the current boom in women’s sports, going years without taking a paycheck, balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and eventually seeing her work recognized by ESPN and TOGETHXR. Monica and Lily also get into Taylor Swift’s impact on football, the power of women supporting women, dealing with jealousy and comparison, Bills Mafia, Josh Allen, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is stop scrolling and start working toward the life you want. Plus, Lily answers Flex or Next and tags ESPN creator Katie Feeney for Who Got Next. Football. Culture. Community. All teams. All people. #FootballIsSexy #WomenInSports #Sportsish #SportsPodcast #WomenInSportsMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
