Episode #13 Using Sports To Unlock Dreams with Paul Dreisbach from Petrichor Football Academy.

Show Notes:

Imagine if every kid had the opportunity to act on their dreams. A world where someone saw them, believed in them, and gave them the skills to go after those dreams. In this podcast episode, Alexandra chats with Paul Dreisbach from Petrichor, an organization in Cameroon building capacity, framework, and models of sustainable growth through football. 

Paul has worked with partners like LaLiga, Liverpool FC, SoCal, Portland Timbers, Nike, and Adidas through his consultancy work mainly in the space where sport, purpose & profitability meet. 

Tune in and get insights on the world of sports, how it provides opportunities for kids from all different backgrounds, and the difficulties of getting the support, funding, and sponsorship for women’s football. We also talk about the challenges of recognizing privilege and how to help solve problems that you historically were part of creating. As well as how perhaps we can’t change our biases but what we can do is to try and not act from them.

Finally, we discuss how society plays such a big role in what we deem risky and not. Many of us dive headfirst into marriage (said to have a 50% success rate) but spend our entire life building up the courage to make small steps towards a dream like changing careers or building a business. Kind of crazy!
