🚨 STOP SCROLLING — THIS is the blueprint to work sports in 2026 🚨
This isn’t just an interview… it’s a playbook. If you’re still applying online and hoping for a reply… you’re already behind.

This episode of the Black in Sports Podcast is your wake-up call. We’re joined by Arena Co-Founder, digital disruptor, and culture-shifter Adriene Bueno — the force behind viral movements like the #LinkedInSportsChallenge that are changing lives, creating access, and flipping the script on how people get into the sports industry.

This isn’t theory. This is REAL impact. REAL strategy. REAL access.
From her journey as a first-generation college graduate at UCLA to becoming one of the most influential voices in the sports x digital creator economy, Adriene is building doors — and then teaching others how to walk through them.

🎙️ In this episode, we tap into:
