It Was Never About Hockey

Season 2 is here — and we’re coming in hot.

In this episode, I sit down with Marcia Masulla — marketing guru, agency owner, activist, political force, and what I lovingly call a “Happy Warrior.”

We start with the USA men’s hockey locker room controversy and why it struck such a nerve. Because it wasn’t about hockey. It wasn’t about men vs. women in sports. It was about culture. About what’s normalized. About what women are expected to tolerate.

And then we go deeper.

We talk about being laid off. Being fired. Reinventing yourself. The quiet rebuilding seasons. The confidence you earn the hard way.

And of course, we talk about Nashville — the kind of community that shows up when it matters most.

This episode is raw. It’s layered. It’s honest. It feels like sitting on the couch with us, glass in hand, saying the things we’re not supposed to say out loud.

Pull up a chair.

And if it hits you? Share it. Screenshot it. Send it to a friend. Let’s keep the conversation going.
