260: Jason Kelce, Elle Duncan, and Laura Rutledge: Living Out My Dreams at ESPN Media Day
In this episode with excerpts from ESPN Media Day 2024, I interview former and beloved Philadelphia Eagles player and current NFL analyst Jason Kelce, Sports Center host Elle Duncan, and NFL Live host Laura Rutledge. I recap my incredible experience at Media Day, explain how I got the invite to live out my dreams, and share how I’ve always wanted to be a sports broadcaster since I was young. In my conversation with Jason, we discuss how he was raised to be an emotionally available man, how he’s feeling entering his first season of retirement, and what he’ll miss most and won’t miss about playing. He also shares his favorite characteristics about his wife, Kylie, and what he predicts for the Eagles in this upcoming season. In my conversation with Elle, we discuss how she came to sports broadcasting, how she brings her best self to work and perseveres in a male-dominated industry, and how she covers so many sports while making her voice stand out among the numbers. In my conversation with Laura, she shares how she juggles everything she does and chooses to embrace the chaos, and how she remembers all of those stats and data points. She also talks about how she’s raising her daughter to be confident and self-assured, and how she makes her demanding schedule work by prioritizing intentional time with her kids.
