About this episode

"LA is a sports city where you have to compete for attention, if The Galaxy is having a bad year, people will watch other teams and you have to deliver. I think that does breed champions".

Herc sat down for a candid talk with Will Kuntz, the LA Galaxy's general manager after they won their sixth title. Will explained how he went from being an MLB-bound GM to working in Major League Soccer and what's behind his role as the architect of the Galaxy's success this year.
