Lessons From a UCONN Boss w/ Amy Errett

iHeartPodcasts and Unanimous Media
About this episode

Azzi and Ashanti are joined by Amy Errett, founder and CEO of Madison Reed and a proud UCONN alum, for a conversation about basketball, business, and real life.

Amy talks about building Madison Reed from the ground up, what she learned along the way, and the leadership habits that still guide her today. She shares how she approaches decision-making, why resilience matters more than perfection, and the one question she always asks when hiring.

The trio also gets into NIL, what authentic partnerships with athletes should actually look like, and why investing in women’s sports matters.
