At 23, Amy Snider stood up in a room full of men and corrected the record on women's soccer. Nobody asked her to. She did it anyway. This week on Not All Business, we sit down with Amy Snider, Cornell soccer alum, co-founder of one of Colorado's longest-running women's semi-pro franchises, and the woman who was in the stands recently when 63,004 people showed up for the Denver Summit FC home opener — the first women's professional soccer team in Colorado. She watched it go from 20 people in a stadium to sixty-three thousand. That's not luck. That's decades of refusing to quit. We also get into the NIL debate, the transfer portal's effect on team culture, what coaches Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley's sideline confrontation really revealed, and why the women's sports moment we're living in right now isn't a rise — it's a correction. Key Takeaways: Why Women's Sports Were Never Behind What Amy Said Out Loud in a Room Full of Men at 23 (And What Happened Next) Why the Denver Summit FC Home Opener Was 30 Years in the Making NIL and Transfer Portal Problems The Pay Gap in Women's Sports Is Still Shocking Please consider sharing this episode and subscribing to the show for more unfiltered conversations about leadership, growth, and the messy human side of business.
