Holy crap we're in @Forbes!! It's been a year of crazy ups and downs but super grateful to be in the position we're in alongside these other badass BIPOC business. @crispychickenco@OhItsRicardo_ π

The story of the last time I saw @GrantWahl in person. β€οΈ It's been inspiring reading everyone's memories of Grant these last few days and how much impact he had on so many.
April 2020, some friends & I did a Zoom inviting the most famous names in our contact list to see who would show up.
I texted Grant, but wasn't sure he'd be up for it. He had just been let go from SI, and was dealing with a lot. But, of course, he made time to hang with us.
Grant always had my back. Before I was anyone or did anything legit in the soccer space, he supported me. Mentored me. And then he became a dear friend. It is impossible to imagine him just ... not being with us anymore. I hope he knew how much he meant to my life.
I am at a loss for wordsβ¦. Grant Wahl was more than just *THE* soccer guyβ¦.. he was extremely kind and welcoming to everyone in the soccer world and most importantly- he was brave and when people didnβt have a voice he raised his for them.
