Routes to Turf w/ Mira Emma
This episode is brought to you in two separate parts, beginning with the end of our Palm Springs show and then a few weeks later Meg and Mira pick the mics back up to finish our conversation. We kick off with a special cameo featuring Max Casper of the Reno Aces and then deep dive into a fascinating story of athlete turned groundskeeper with Mira Emma.
Here's what you'll hear in this week's Groundskeeper Chat:
- Max and Mira's Turf Origin Stories
- Mira's Mentors
- Becoming a Young Leader
- KC Current and the Changing Culture
A little bit more about our guest:
