  • Why the Best Teams High Five More - And Science Proves It

    Why the Best Teams High Five More - And Science Proves It
    Apr 2 2026
    March Madness is delivering, and so is the energy on this episode. Julie and Abby are joined by women’s basketball expert Jordan Robinson to break down a stacked Final Four, from Texas vs. UCLA to the highly anticipated rematch between UConn and South Carolina. They dig into what’s actually separating these teams right now, momentum, mindset, and yes…team chemistry (including a surprisingly deep dive into “touches” 👀). Then, the conversation shifts from the court to something bigger: what really makes a great team? From a powerful story out of Tennessee about culture and leadership to a fascinating sit-down with organizational psychologist Adam Grant, this episode explores how trust, connection, and accountability shape success, whether you’re chasing a championship or building something of your own. Because at the highest level, it’s not just about talent, it’s about the people, the relationships, and the culture you create together.

  • She Walked Into the NBA’s Biggest Mess and Fixed It

    She Walked Into the NBA’s Biggest Mess and Fixed It
    Mar 26 2026
    March Madness is in full swing and the chaos is only getting started. From bracket battles and Cinderella runs to the Sweet 16 matchups you can’t miss, Julie and Abby break it all down. But this episode goes deeper, highlighting Lauren Betts and the powerful impact of speaking openly about mental health, and how it’s translating directly to performance on the court. Plus, the crew celebrates a huge moment for Save: the Katie Meyer Story and why this story continues to matter. Then, they’re joined by the legendary Billie Jean King to talk legacy, representation, and why women’s history is far from finished. And finally, don’t miss their conversation with Cynt Marshall, the leader who stepped into one of the NBA’s most toxic workplaces and completely transformed it. This one’s about basketball, yes, but also about truth, leadership, and what happens when people decide to change the game.
