In this exciting episode, Mic and Allen welcome a very special guest — and future co-host! Luis Alicea joins the show to talk about the upcoming launch of Beyond Sports Nation, a brand-new podcast he and Allen are creating together.
Beyond Sports Nation goes deeper than the stats, highlights, and headlines. Luis shares the vision behind the show: real conversations with athletes about the parts of life that shape who they are — their families, their mentors, their struggles, and their biggest supporters. From childhood memories to lessons learned from coaches, parents, and teammates, it’s all about the powerful personal stories that fans rarely get to hear.
And although Luis is usually the one asking the questions, today he’s in the hot seat! He opens up about his own life journey, the influences that helped build his career, and some behind-the-scenes moments that even longtime fans may not know.
It’s a lively, heartfelt conversation filled with laughs, inspiration, and a sneak peek into what promises to be a game-changing new sports podcast. If you love sports and you love great stories — this is one episode you won’t want to miss!
