Rachel Baker joins The Upside Podcast

Do you know the name Rachel Baker?

Probably not. Most college basketball fans don't. But she is one of the most influential people in the world of grassroots basketball and a pioneer for women in that space. 

She grew up as a coach's daughter and joined Nike on a full-time basis when she was just 22 years old. Since then she's quickly evolved into a person who, may not have a public profile, but is as respected, capable, and multi-dimensional as anyone in the industry. 

In this interview (which was her first podcast), she discusses her path, responsibilities, and the doubters she had to overcome along the way.
