25 分钟Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. These conversations will focus on interesting people I've come across that share similar values, perspectives and intentions expressed on the Minimalist Moms Podcast. Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by Mike Schroder, the founder of Future Fans—a brand focused on helping kids connect with and enjoy sports. Mike’s journey started with a simple goal: he wanted to bond with his kids over sports but found that teaching them about football wasn’t as easy as he’d hoped. So, he created Future Fans to make learning about sports fun and engaging for kids. In our conversation, Mike opens up about the ups and downs of that journey, the power of intentional parenting, and how sports can bring families closer together. Plus, he shares the unique way Future Fans makes sports education accessible and enjoyable for young learners.
