Today on the show my guest is someone who’s been quietly shaping the future of American soccer for decades. From Ivy League sidelines to MLS academies, Bryan Scales has poured his life into developing young talent—not just as athletes, but as people. Now, as the Executive Director of the Academy at Charlotte FC, he’s building something from the ground up, and bringing all those years of wisdom with him. We talk about the winding path that brought him here, the kids who changed him along the way, and the ‘why’ that still fuels him every day. Let’s get into it.

We shake it up a bit this week talking about the upcoming Colorado Rapids away match with MLS Season Pass Match Analyst, Devon Kerr. I think you will like his take on a lot of what Charlotte FC is able to do thus far this year and his bonus shout out at the end.
