What happens when a world-class athlete, digital innovator, and fearless adventurer decides to pivot? Renegade member Georgia Sapounas, VP of Innovation & Digital at the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, did just that and shares her remarkable journey from elite figure skater to leading digital transformation in sports.
In this episode, Georgia and Amy Jo go deep fast into the power of surrender, bold decision-making, and the Renegade mindset that fuels Georgia’s success. From working at the Olympics to spontaneously traveling the world, Georgia embodies the "Why Not Now?" spirit—proving that trusting your gut can lead to unexpected and extraordinary opportunities.
One of the biggest lessons from Georgia’s story is the importance of trusting your instincts - even when the logical choice says otherwise. She also highlights the power of surrendering to uncertainty, showing that real growth happens when you let go of rigid plans and embrace the unknown.
Finally, Georgia’s approach to innovation - both in her career and personal life - proves that taking small, intentional steps toward new ideas can lead to game-changing results.
If you’ve ever faced a crossroads in your career or life, this episode is for you. Georgia will inspire you to take your next leap!
