Summary

Grant has two interviews in this episode. The first is with Ted Philipakos, the American chief marketing officer of Venezia. He tells the remarkable story of the Venice club's rise from the fourth division to Serie A, the American influence on the club (from himself to owner Duncan Niederauer to players Tanner Tessmann and Gianluca Busio) and what makes a soccer team in one of the world's tourism capitals so special. The second interview is with Bayern Munich's Sarah Zadrazil (31:47), who explains how she went from her native Austria to playing college soccer at East Tennessee State, her journey to Bayern Munich and her hopes of contending for this year's women's UEFA Champions League title.

0:00.0	Hey there! Welcome to Food Ball with Grant Wall. Thanks so much for joining me. Today we
0:12.2	have two interview guests. The first is Ted Philip Hockos, an American who's the Chief
0:18.0	Marketing Officer of the Netsia, newly promoted to Italy's Syria. Then I'm joined by Sarah
0:24.5	Zadrasil of Bayern Munich, who played her college ball at East Tennessee State University.
0:30.9	We've had some great guests lately, including Simon Cooper, Lander Scharlockens, and Chris Russell,
0:36.9	so check those out. Now, here's my interview with Ted Philip Hockos.
0:44.1	Our guest now is Ted Philip Hockos. He's an American who's the Chief Marketing Officer at
0:50.1	Netsia, the newly promoted Syria A team. Netsia has an American owner and president, Duncan Niederauer,

1:42.5	How would you describe this club's journey in recent years?
1:45.6	It's a bit of a dream. It was just a few months ago that the promotion happened. This was my second
1:56.4	stint at the club. I was here first in 2016-17. That was the year we were promoted from
2:04.8	City of Chi to City of B. Then I came back last summer. Frankly, we didn't really expect this to
2:13.2	happen last year. There was a good plan in place. It's the reason I came back. The target was always
2:21.5	promotion, but timeline was realistically more like two or three years probably. Things fell
