An Emmy- and Peabody-winning journalist, Sarah Spain is now the host of the podcast “Good Game with Sarah Spain,” head of content at iHeart Women’s Sports, and a regular contributor to espnW — but she didn’t initially set out to be a sports icon. Spain discusses how she pivoted from acting and comedy to find the intersection of what she loves, what she’s good at, and what the industry needs, with advice on how you can do the same.
