We recently connected with Breanna Lee, Victoria Dickson and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Breanna and Victoria, thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

I (Breanna) interned with the St. Louis Blues and have always had a passion for sports.

After the internship was completed, I wanted to continue working in sports but wasn’t sure of what path to take. A friend suggested starting a sports podcast as my way into the sports world. I jumped at the idea but did not want to do it alone and knew I needed a cohost.

After asking two people and they declined, I thought about like-minded people who I knew enjoyed sports as much as me and thought of Victoria. I messaged Victoria on Twitter, pitched my idea about a podcast and she was instantly on board.

Our podcast is unique because we are discussing sports from a woman’s point of view especially when a lot of people don’t think women know much about sports.

Breanna Lee, Victoria Dixon, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

We (Breanna & Victoria) met in college. Once Breanna knew that she wanted to put a podcast in motion she reached to Victoria about doing the show together but from a woman’s perspective. We initially began by recoding episodes from our home and Breanna would edit them. We did that for the first 10 episodes until Mid Coast Media reached out about collaborating and letting us use their studio.

The thing that sets us apart is that we are women talking about sports. We know what we’re talking about but we each also bring a different view point. Our show is special because we don’t always agree and we like the different opinions we both bring to the topics we discuss.

We are most proud of the following that we have built over the last 3 years and how other podcasts have reached out and want to collab with us.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

In building our following specifically on Instagram, we are very adamant about following back those who follow us and also interacting with those who interact with us. If someone leaves us a like or comment we make it a point to like that comment but also respond.

When making posts on Instagram, we utilize hashtags. The more hashtags the better but also make sure that you are using hashtags that are getting traction. Also, if we aren’t making posts on the feed, we make it a point to post on the Instagram story. We also utilize reels.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

From the very beginning, it has been hard. From recording episodes in our homes to learning how to edit our own episodes. For people who are new to this industry, it is not easy and you can become frustrated and want to quit.

Also, it’s not easy growing a following especially in sports which is very male dominated. So we have to be extra good at what we do and making sure that we are constantly putting out great content.

Through all the struggles, we have remained motivated and kept going.
