Intimidating (and I love it)

Ms. Singleton is a strong and intelligent woman (with a PHD).
Personally, I find it intimidating that she is clearly smarter than me, and probably knows more about sports than me too! But her strengths mean that I always feel like I have learned something after each listen. Her takes are insightful and refreshing. A great listen. Highly recommended.
