I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Kareem on One Soccer Nation. As a co-founder of a future club Ozark United FC, I have experienced various podcasts. However, Kareem has been the most professional operations. The hyper-focus on the business angle needed to get these teams launched and funded, is a tremendous asset for all to learn from best practices in the various markets.

The experience with One Soccer Nation was awesome. The best thing about the time with Kareem is that he takes a conversation in a direction that allowed me to share my message, but also extract new ideas and comments I didn't even think of speaking about before. Absolutely awesome to be on and to listen. Thanks Kareem!
