Summary

Grant has a fun conversation with Aaron West, who co-hosted Fox Sports' nightly digital show during the women's World Cup and is currently hosting the Crossroads series of Premier League "What-Ifs" on the NBC Sports YouTube channel. West tells how he got into soccer, his college playing career at Davidson and how "pivoting" modern media downsized him at not one but two jobs (as a writer at FoxSports.com and as a video content host at Copa 90). He also has helpful advice for any students who want to get into the sports and soccer journalism business. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
