Summary

Tobin and Christen are back with an Olympic sized episode! First, in the Daily Discussion, they discuss their experience playing in past Olympic games with the USWNT. Why doesn’t the team walk in the opening ceremony? Why don’t they play in the host city until the semis and finals? And what are the key differences between the Olympics and the World Cup? Then, they are joined by Angel City FC’s co-founder, Kara Nortman, for a fun and informative discussion on investing in women’s sports from someone who has lived it. How does one go from being a venture capitalist to becoming the co-founder of one of the NWSL’s most influential teams? And why did a tiny version of Tobin help inspire her decision to do so? Plus, community questions, a discussion on the future face of the USWNT, Bob Iger and Willow Bay’s 50 million dollars investment into Angel City FC, and more. Listen to weekly episodes every week.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the recap show. On today's episode we will be talking about the Olympics, the next face of the US-Massage team,
0:07.0	and we will be joined by co-founder of Angel City, Kara Nortman.
0:11.0	But first, let's get into the daily discussion.
0:18.2	Hello, reimaginers and welcome back to the Recap Show. We are so excited to be here. Today's daily
0:25.6	discussion we are going to be gearing up for France 2024. It is almost time to be cheering on Team USA and we can't wait.
0:36.7	Tobin, what are you excited about for this Olympics?
0:39.7	Well, I love that you said France 2024 because I think most people would know it as Paris
0:44.8	2024 but the reality is for the US women sash team it is actually France 2024
0:50.9	because you know fun facts about the Olympics the US women's national team
0:56.2	will not go to Paris until I think one of the seven finals is there and obviously
1:01.4	the final is there so I think you kind of said it

1:11.0	for the Paris Olympics.

1:20.0	championship is actually like the jerseys. So like we just saw the US and Zash
1:26.4	team in their send-off games. You're wearing the crest with the stars over
1:30.4	them but for the Olympics what you'll see is actually a Jersey that doesn't have a
1:34.7	crest. It's not the US Soccer Federation. It is Team USA. Therefore instead of the crest, you will see a jersey that just says USA.
1:46.6	And that is just an indication of being part of a bigger team, bigger than the U.S. and Sash team.
1:52.4	You are part of Team USA,
