Kay Rawlins: The Woman Who Built Orlando’s Soccer Legacy

Kay Rawlins didn’t just follow a calling, she helped transform a city. In this episode, Allison sits down with Kay Rawlins, co-founder of Orlando City and Orlando Pride and Senior Vice President & Club Ambassador, to unpack what it really takes to build something from the ground up, earn community buy-in, and lead with confidence in rooms that underestimate you.Kay shares her unconventional path from dropping out at 17, to owning preschools, to launching a professional soccer club that became a Central Florida institution. They talk about building “the plane while flying it,” guerrilla marketing and community advocates, why women must be over-prepared (for now), and how finding your tribe can carry you through the hardest seasons. Plus: Kay’s mentorship philosophy, the power of boundaries, and the simple shift that changes how we check in on people.Connect with Kay Rawlins on LinkedIn 🎙️ Hosted by:Allison Walsh | @allisonwalshLearn more: www.allisonwalshconsulting.com👉 Apply to join the She Believed She Could Podcast Network and take the next step in elevating your voice, brand, and impact.👉 Enroll for free in From Podcast to Platform and learn how to turn your story into a platform that amplifies your impact.🤩 Access the FREE Impact Brand Accelerator: https://bit.ly/impactbrandaccelerator👉 Subscribe for weekly episodes on mindset, confidence, personal branding, business growth and well-being: https://pod.link/1505347834Hosted by Allison Walsh, founder of She Believed She Could™.This episode is sponsored by AdventHealth for Women.At AdventHealth for Women, care goes beyond the physical.
