21 Questions for ESPN Reporter & Host Jen Lada

19. Can you tell us a little bit about your new podcast “Athletes Doing Good”? How did the idea come about and what are you aiming to accomplish with the project?

JL: Being back in Milwaukee means reconnecting with people who have been huge supporters of my career for years. Chellee Siewert is this badass and brilliant boss who runs Capture Marketing – a company that handles a lot of big time athlete’s events and projects. She approached me about helping her tell these athletes’ stories. There aren’t a lot of platforms talking specifically about the good and charitable work that pros are doing in between their full-time jobs. And for most, their causes are labors of love – passion projects born from their own experiences, adversities and priorities. We’ve talked to Russell Wilson, Dr. Jen Welter, Solomon Thomas, Brian Anderson and we’ve got a long list of people on board. We’re just getting started and we’re learning what works as we go but most importantly, we’re providing a space where athletes can talk about the positive stuff they’re doing and hopefully encourage others to give back to their respective communities too.
