In this first episode of The Wild Journey, host Farkhunda Muhtaj welcomes Calgary Wild FC’s goalkeeper Sarah Keilty-Dilling, defender Grace Stordy, and Founder + Chair Deanna Zumwalt for a dynamic conversation about sport, leadership, and community.
You’ll hear raw and real stories from the field—and beyond. Sarah shares how she transitioned from teaching to professional football. Grace talks about what it means to play with resilience and represent her hometown. And Deanna offers an inspiring look at building a pro women’s football team from the ground up.
This episode is for anyone who believes sport is about more than the scoreboard. It’s about purpose, people, and powerfully showing up—even when no one’s watching.
Whether you're a young athlete, a leader in business, or a fan of women’s sports, this episode will ignite your belief in what’s possible when community comes first.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
