In this episode, I’m joined by Marnie Schneider, CEO, author, philanthropist, and passionate advocate for sports, literacy, and community. As the granddaughter of former Philadelphia Eagles owner Leonard Tose and daughter of Susan Tose Spencer, the NFL’s first and only female GM, Marnie grew up surrounded by trailblazers and she’s continued that legacy in her own way. Through her bestselling Football Freddie and Fumble the Dog series and her company Gameday in the USA, she’s pioneered the concept of “sports edutainment,” blending football, history, and culture to inspire kids across the country. She’s also President of the Women’s Division of the Global Pro Flag Football League, championing pay equity and visibility for female athletes. In our conversation, we talk about the lessons she’s carried forward from her family’s NFL legacy, how she’s using storytelling to empower the next generation, and her vision for women in sports today and in the future.
