Overview
Tyler Chisholm sits down with Lara Murphy, co-founder of Ryan Murphy Construction and CEO of the Calgary Wild FC, Alberta's first professional women's soccer club. Lara spent two years working toward a merger, then walked away at the 11th hour. She describes it as the worst day of her life and, a year later, the best decision she ever made. In this episode, she talks about what it takes to hand a company you built from scratch to someone else, why being first means writing the playbook as you go, and how 46,000 fans showed up for a league that didn't exist two seasons ago.
The risk of certainty runs through all of it: from walking away from a deal she'd invested years in, to leading a sports franchise in a sport that Canadians are still learning to watch.
