In episode #148 of 🎙️The Business Case For Women’s Sports, presented by Ally, Caroline sits down with Lois Cook — a star player for the DC Divas, the founder of @cleatsandstilettos, and a powerful leader growing the game of women’s football through the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA).

- 📱 How she built a following of 500K+ to spotlight women in football.
- 🎥 Why media access and social reach are game changers for growth.
- 🏈 What’s next for the WFA, including the launch of a national flag league.
