Between Clean Sheets founder, Cheyenne Foster, shares her transformative journey from a political career in DC to living and traveling in a van across the US.

We discuss how she navigates the challenges of content creation, authenticity, and the capitalist nature of sports while embracing a life of freedom and purpose.

It’s a journey from a life mapped out and golf course meetings, to a nomadic lifestyle centred around community.
