Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to full-time presented by Amazon Business.

This week, I am joined by IACs and U.S. Women's National Team midfielder, Lily

Ohemis. We're going to discuss club and country ball. A lot has happened since the first time I met

her just about a year ago when I traveled to Amsterdam to profile her for a story that you can

read on The Athletic. But to do that and to unpack the conversation that I have with her, I am joined by my co-host,

Meg, how's it going?

Good.

It's good.

Also, like, before we even get into this, we should also mention that the news is finally out

that you are a full-time athletic women's soccer writer.

So first, we got to talk about that.

Yes. Honestly, so much has been happening. I have been onboarding my life away. And yes,

would have forgotten to mention it genuinely. So thank you. Yes, I'm full-time, full-time now.

Full-time squared. And all the Slack channels. All of the slacks. All the Slack channels. Yeah. Welcome to that

Madness. So many emoji reactions. This feels in a lot of ways like a long time coming. I know I've been

freelancing for the athletic for a minute, beginning with the World Cup, which feels both like it was

just yesterday and forever ago because so much has happened since. But I'm thrilled. I am really hitting the ground running.

You and I will both be at the U.S. Women's National Team First Brazil game in L.A. at SoFi at the end

of the week, which is going to come in the blink of an eye. But yes, new announcement, new job title,

new work to do. I'm very excited. Yeah, no, it's definitely,

I also finally get to shift into the new role. So that is definitely exciting. But I think it's

going to be really fun. Obviously, a lot of new stories. The podcast isn't going anywhere. Yeah.
