Brielle Watts | Founder CEO & QB | “The Blind Side ” | S7 EP 308

In this inspiring episode we sit down with entrepreneur, athlete, and BYU alum Brielle Watts, whose incredible journey proves that adversity doesn’t define your future—it fuels it.

Legally blind in one eye and with repaired vision in the other, Brielle refused to let her diagnosis dictate her destiny. Instead of walking away from sports, she made an unforgettable comeback through one of the fastest-growing sports in the world—Women’s Flag Football—with her sights set on representing Team USA and competing at the LA28 Olympic Games.
But her story doesn’t stop on the field.

Brielle is also the founder of Dot.it, an innovative tech startup helping reshape CRM, while leveraging the powerful BYU alumni network to accelerate growth. She also gives us an exclusive look at her exciting new media venture, On The Field – Sideline Stories, where authentic sports storytelling takes center stage.

This conversation is packed with inspiration, entrepreneurship, resilience, leadership, innovation, faith, networking, and the relentless pursuit of purpose. Whether you’re an athlete, founder, sports fan, business professional, or someone chasing a dream that others think is impossible, this episode will leave you motivated to bet on yourself.
