I think it's it's it's such a great platform for all of this. So I wanna dive into this, ashley, I wanna dive into a little bit about

 

Ashley Brown  00:05:33 

Alright.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:05:35 

where you grew up and and be kind of, like a three folded question and, you know, just that we can kind of top line it, but where you grew up, you know, where you went to university, if you did and how you met Ray,

 

Ashley Brown  00:05:39 

Okay.

Alright. So

I am a Midwestern girl. I grew up to Louis Missouri,

which was a great experience. I wouldn't have traded for anything in the world up

grew up. My dad was a dentist. My mom my parents met

had

historically

black

Louis Missouri where most doctor's back then had to go to

several hospitals

to do their residency.

And so my mother was a nurse

at one of the it was called homer G Phillips Hospital, which is a very historical hospital hospital a saint louis. And my dad was a dentist, and he was over the dental department. And so they met there, and that's where I grew up in Think louis Missouri.

Great time,

you know, very close in knit family. I have two brothers

one older one younger i'm in the middle they're both doctors.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:06:41 

Wow.

 

Ashley Brown  00:06:41 

They both still live in Saint Louis so how would talking with my older brother last night, But we just got... And we talked maybe two hours so, have a great relationship, you know, grew up in a great family. Unfortunately, we lost our parents

lost our mom early on, but I've dad about twenty years ago in twenty years. We have my... My son will be twenty

on Monday, and my dad had died a couple of months after my son was born. So I can't believe it's been twenty years, but

 

Juliet Hahn  00:07:02 

Mhmm.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:07:05 

Mhmm.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:07:06 

Yeah.

 

Ashley Brown  00:07:08 

so, yes, grew up in saint Louis. With the college,

went to historically black College Howard University. That's where I started my college career,

education rather and

had some really wild, unfortunate things happened in me and Howard.

I had a wonderful

roommate

who had epilepsy. I didn't know it. And I came in and had a serious situation happened, and I ended up leaving the universe because

 

Juliet Hahn  00:07:29 

Mhmm

 

Ashley Brown  00:07:36 

Let's just say she's no longer... She was no longer there with us. So it was just a dramatic situation.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:07:39 

Oh, sorry.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:07:39 

U.

 

Ashley Brown  00:07:42 

And so, but it was, you know, I think it was kinda meant to be, like, I was at Howard for two years, and then I went home. My parents gave me one semester to figure out where I was going to college and and they said I could transfer one time. So my grandparents lived in memphis,

and I was really close to my mom's parents. So I just... I had never really

heard anything about miss Back was called Memphis State University, and now it's the university of message. So I ended up applying to the University of memphis.

And I went there and got my degree from the university to memphis. Lose that I know.

My husband had gone to Memphis,

freshman here of college

and transferred to Arkansas state,

his sophomore more years, So we were never there together.

But we ended up having a bunch of mutual friends, and that's how we met.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:08:30 

Oh, funny.

 

Ashley Brown  00:08:32 

And we actually met we actually met in Saint Louis. I was still in college. I was at the university memphis, and I came home when weekend my dad had three tickets

 

Juliet Hahn  00:08:32 

Oh, I love that.

 

Ashley Brown  00:08:42 

to my dad was a big sports person, and my brothers were not So my dad had three tickets to baseball cardinal,

and football cardinal. This is when the football partner now Arizona Car knows go figure.

We're in Saint Louis.

And Ray was drafted by the

Arizona card. I mean, the the Saint Louis Carlos. So he was in saint Louis plane, and I came home with school one weekend to go to a game with my parents

and met him

from a mutual friend. Actually, it was a former boyfriend.

Introduced us, and we were just friends for years. I mean, several years, we were just friends and he went on and got, you know, the cardinal moved from

Saint Louis, Arizona.

So he moved with them, and then he was traded plan b. To the Washington Red, and that's kinda where our history begins. But that's kinda How started of in Saint Louis just being friends and

day we met him him I wanna say it was a Thanksgiving day game, and my mother... He my mother asked him if he had any family in town he said no. So she invited trials for dinner.

On Thanksgiving.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:09:47 

That's a sweet.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:09:47

Ashley Brown  00:09:53 

Oh.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:09:58 

But the fact that you guys had so many

coincidences is is so interesting. And I love that's why I love stories.

 

Ashley Brown  00:10:01 

Yeah.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:10:04 

Because those kind of things are what gets people excited, Those are kind of the things that people are like, oh my gosh. Like, your paths were supposed to me. And they kept skipping. It's almost like a movie. Right? You see those movies, the love stories and the people miss each other and you're like, no. I want them to be together.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:10:05 

Mhmm.

Ashley Brown  00:10:22 

Yeah.

Juliet Hahn  00:10:26

So how was that being, you know, in the in your relationship as a young spouse young girlfriend

and having your, you know, partner playing in the Nfl.

 

Ashley Brown  00:10:46 

So when we met, again,

we met, and we were just believe or not probably

five years. We were just really good friends. Like had no interest of dating.

So I got to know Ray Brown as a person and friend.

So when we did finally started dating, he was probably good...

Maybe hit the sixth year in the Nfl.

I knew him as a person. So

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:11:10 

Mhmm.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:11:10 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:11:11 

a lot a lot of his habits in ways I just knew was just him

because we were friends So we started a friendship. And even when we both moved to the Washington Dc the area,

in eighty nine, I believe, it was nineteen eighty nine.

We saw each other in Georgetown.

One day, I was in Georgetown

walking around with a group of girl in Saint Louis, he was Georgetown out on crutches. He had had a a surgery ed

we saw each other, and we all started hanging out together. So we hung out for month, and actually,

fun fact, our room roommate started dating first. So once our roommate started dating, his will roommate played for the ben Washington risk kids also,

and on my roommate with my long time best friend, and

so they started dating, and then after we we're forced to spend so much time together because of our roommate. You know, after some years, we just decided, you know, we had such a great friendship. I think we were both kinda

 

Juliet Hahn  00:12:06 

Yeah.

 

Ashley Brown  00:12:11 

not wanting to date in the beginning because we didn't wanna mess up the friendship.

Because the friendship was really cool. You know, we really had a great friendship, but

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:12:19

ton history after that. You know, we've been married what going on twenty eight years So twenty seven years we've been married.

spouse how would you have defined yourself?

 

Ashley Brown  00:16:07 

Wow. So I... I feel like I

was so lucky coming into the Nfl.

And I don't know if it was lucky. It was just that we were with the race well, the team that I, you know, started taking race.

He was with the Washington Washington Red skin now Washington commanders.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:16:24 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:16:25 

But the women that were there, there was a couple of cute key women

who are now hall of fame lives

in particular Jewel Green and does the ray mom and

couple other ones,

Man,

of

event Coleman,

they were

veteran wise

of in the Nfl at that time.

And they welcomed me in as Raised girlfriend.

I wasn't a fiance.

I... You know, I was just... It's girlfriend.

And, you know, I met them at a charity event, and they started in fighting me to all their away gain parties back then, they met every Sunday for away games and had Party. And believe me, it was a serious party of couple other ones Tina Binder,

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:16:56 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:17:11 

Michelle Sanders, They were just a phenomenal women. So the way they welcomed me in

and treated me in the beginning. And I used to say, I'm not his wife. I'm just girlfriend you're not jeff anything. You know, you're a great woman where we enjoy being around. You And so I stopped saying I'm just as girl and early on, and I just participated and and accepted and welcome.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:17:25 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:17:35 

The love that they showed me. And I they did a lot of charity events, and they always invited me to them. So I just went know, when I could when it wasn't interfering with work, because back then, I was like, a computer government sales

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:17:48 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:17:48 

for a company in the Washington Dc area. So when I could... And then on weekends when they would invite me to a away gain parties, I would definitely go, you know, But I kinda pulled back a lot because I'm like, okay, Ashley, You know, you're girlfriend, doesn't know your role. You know, don't get too far out there, but he would always say you going to this. So Always got acceptance from him to go to within, you know, So that's kinda of probably why I got involved and started going.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:18:09 

Grief.

 

Ashley Brown  00:18:13 

But they just early on, really accepted me And I always

once I got engaged, I always wanted to be

that one. I knew that I wanted to be that woman. That woman that always welcomed a new faith. That woman that always shared who the doctors were, Who the neo tech the hair dresses where to go to eat.

Connect someone with a baby fifth. I knew... I knew right from the jump that I wanted to be that first would because of the way I was treated coming in. Now everyone's experience isn't like that, but mine was so wonderful and

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:18:36 

It's awesome.

 

Ashley Brown  00:18:49 

it's did that way because I wanted to be that person. So even now to this day, if I meet someone, I met a few ladies that have been last and I just immediately wanted to connect them with someone that I knew would be,

 

Juliet Hahn  00:18:57 

Oh

 

Ashley Brown  00:19:03 

you know,

a mentor and and and and and a very you know, positive force in their life. So that's kinda... You know, I just wanted to be that girl that was always known to hook everyone up, you know, and just you could always come and if I didn't know the answer,

I was gonna find the answer out for you. So early on, it was a great experience for me of of course, I tell everyone. I went through all the stage. I was the the friend who hung out all the time, so I got to go to all the parties. Right?

Anybody had anything then I was the girlfriend, so, you know, I got to go to some things, then I became this fiance.

I was very limited.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:19:42 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:19:43 

Then when I became the white, he couldn't go to anything. So

so I feel like I was through all those pages, but it was a it was a lot. You know, it was we had a great time. To wash an area.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:19:47 

What?

It's

So wonderful. So I have a cynthia if you mind if I just jump in because I have a question because, again, I love. I love who is, you know, always on these these shows because there's oh, something that's very similar and it's all about your guys hearts. I mean, so do you think

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:19:57 

No.

 

Ashley Brown  00:20:02 

Okay.

Right.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:20:08 

that you were kind of born with welcoming people and opening it up or do you think because when you got into the league, even though you weren't, you know, you you guys were just friends and you weren't dating,

but people welcomed to you that you were like, I like this. I wanna walk some others. So, like, you know, what you think came first?

 

Ashley Brown  00:20:24 

So I think I was welcome mean, I think I came from my my my mother just a quick side note. So on Christmas Eve every year, and I tried to do it for years when we live where we knew a lot of people

 

Juliet Hahn  00:20:26 

Yeah.

 

Ashley Brown  00:20:35 

we would have anywhere between, a hundred and fifty to two hundred people that would stop by our house because my mother made go and individual fruit cakes for everyone.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:20:41 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:20:44 

And so she always welcomes

all the friends, everyone, my dad patience,

our high school, and you know, grade school, families, and anyone, all the organization she was involved in. I said my mother was a huge social light and saint Louis. So

you know, we we had tons of people in our house all the time. And so I believe that, you know, I kinda learned that I wanted to always be someone that you know, was always well. I mean, people always felt like they could come to me Or i was very easy to talk to. So I think I learned that early on, but just being treated that way. I think I was always the one who treated people, but for me to be treated that way coming into the Nfl where you here's so many

stories about, you know, women feeling isolated, and the guys have a come robbery in the locker where you have to find your niche I didn't have to find my vision in Washington, You know, it was there, and it and had blossom, then it blown into

 

Juliet Hahn  00:21:36 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:21:43 

friends that, you know,

we've had forever, you know,

like... Another family,

Ryan Mentioned in the Washington dc, You know, they became our daughter's cough.

We just hosted their daughter's bridal shower and we're part of their daughters wedding. You know? So it just continues and I'm, you know, my Nfl family is... I love my biological family, but my Nfl family, like, that is... I am so thankful for that. That has gotten me through so many things in life and i'm... It just keeps growing. So I'm just excited about that part other too.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:22:16 

Right. I think that's so special.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:22:16 

Exactly.

I think it's a great time to talk about,

 

Ashley Brown  00:22:18 

Yeah.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:22:20 

you know, you had that going on with in Washington,

and you had that small group of women that were uplifting each other. And I think this is an excellent time to talk about

the idea of make

expanding that and, you know, being a cofounder of off the field and I just think that that story in itself of you all coming together, the founders. I really like to name all of the founders and just really talk about how you guys came to that conclusion

to go out into the communities impact and also create that network that expanded out into the other teams.

 

Ashley Brown  00:22:56 

Yes. So we used to go to

Hawaii.

You know? I know everyone's sad for us. We used to go to hawaii every year to Maui.

The grand

had for the Nfl players Association convention,

And when we would come there, we sit around and have powerhouse and brainstorm about how we could all give together

to give back to the community collectively.

A lot of us would go to Super bowls. And, you know, Sherry Brown, we would go to Super Bowls and follow our husband's around because they had appearances

they had events to a attend, and we would going, we would maybe get together and do a few things.

Attend another event together, but we just felt like at a at a big stage like that. We should be able to come together and do something to give back.

So geese and a really good girlfriend of hers. Angela the hour, you know, decided to, you know, wanted to put together this fashion show. And be and it started out as a gospel brunch and team.

And we modeled clothes from a designer out of the bay area.

But the initial thing, we started saying we wanted to form in order.

So in the beginning, the fashion show with through another five o one c3 three, but we would go back to hawaii every year and talk about how can we create a organization? What should we do? And so we kept talking about it every year, And there was a lot of ladies that were all on board. But we somehow just couldn't ever pull the trigger for years. You know? And this conversation

started, I started going to a wife

in nineteen ninety five, the... You know, so these conversations

 

Juliet Hahn  00:24:29 

Wow.

 

Ashley Brown  00:24:30 

started back then. Right?

And they were amazing

conversations

about, you know, to start forming organization.

But, again, we were engulfed in football, you know, I was newly getting ready to be married, You know, we go and Football, and we just didn't pull the trigger. So when we went back to Washington,

I believe,

we went back there in two thousand

three,

I started, you know, getting really the itch. Let's get this going. We were already doing fast shows, but we did not have our organization.

And so

Jordan introduced me to one of her friends that she went to Chapel with who was part of a law firm in the Dc area.

And I started meeting with him them on a daily basis

just to start talking about

getting organization incorporated.

So we worked on that. We were a by. We did everything for, you know, day in day. I would drop my kids to school and here's the Dc for several hours, several days a week.

And I would, you know, refer back to the ladies and say this is when we come up with so far. So that's how only kinda got going, and we were in the Dc area. So we wrote up everything. We became incorporated, then we got a five zero one c3 three

And that's kind of the history of it. There were so many women

instrumental in

I feel a founder but filled a founder member

they each gave a certain contribution

so that we could really get the organization up and running. You know? So there was a couple of key ladies that were instrumental in certain parts of it in the beginning, but there was a huge group of women that were supporting it and didn't asked any questions, and mostly a were our friends we went to him and set, hey. I need a thousand dollars,

you know, whatever you can get me, And it just said sure. You know? So it was easier to ask for a thousand and to ask one of two people for ten thousand, you know, to get an organization cool going So it was great in that aspect you know, I just went to my husband and said, hey, I've never asked for chunk of money. You know? I wanna get a chunk of money because we need a deposit for this lawyer, you know? And basically wanted to get the organization going and just decided I'm in the Dc area. Let's just pull the trigger because we were also involved in our own personal lives.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:26:25 

Oh.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:26:26 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:26:48 

And raising our kids and it was hard to to just get someone to do it. So finally, after I asked, you know, for a couple of resources,

I even reached out to the Nba wise.

And at that time, it was Joy Johnson and she reach Jordan,

who were really part of the organization, and they really helped me get the

get the organization up and running.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:27:09 

I love that. I love that. And I think it's so special. I mean, I know I've i've heard you guys talk about this so much, and you can, you know, what we talk about on those podcast is a lot when you can feel someone's passion and excitement. And you you you even realize and I'm sure you re told the story, thousands of times. You can just feel what it means to you. And I know, you know, through sitting here with you cynthia and all these women that we've have up it is such a special

 

Ashley Brown  00:27:10 

Yeah.

Yeah.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:27:33 

thing, and that's women are so powerful. When women get together,

 

Ashley Brown  00:27:37 

Yeah.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:27:39 

we can make things happen. When we put our mind together, we can make things happen. And so the fact that you guys have been doing this since two thousand and six. And what twenty two years, this is gonna be the twenty second year for the fashion show.

 

Ashley Brown  00:27:41 

Yes.

Yes.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:27:52 

And the fact that people like myself, I just learned about this, and I'm a huge sports fan I never knew anything about it. And when I tell people about it, they're like, wait... What's... I need to know more about this This is incredible. I mean, James in the in the audience, I think at one time, had asked, you know, it can women be, you know, can then be a part of it. And it was interesting because what Cynthia said is, you know, if this is... We formed this as lives. But, yeah, we we are here to bring this community together and and to uplift people and and the service, you guys are all about service service server service.

 

Ashley Brown  00:27:56 

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah

Yeah.

We are

 

Juliet Hahn  00:28:24 

And it is wonderful and beautiful and every person that I've talked to. I said to Cynthia it just... It warms my heart every time I get off of, you know, one of these shows,

because you guys do so much behind the scenes and you're so humble about it. You really don't even like talk about it, and it just it it it just blows my mind every single time. So I I think it's just such an amazing

 

Ashley Brown  00:28:38 

Yeah.

Yeah.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:28:45 

organization. And,

you know, can you share with us? Like, what your most excited about as this grows.

You know, if you have a vision, if there's something that you can share, like, as this can continue to grow in forty years. Where do you see? You know, off the field?

 

Ashley Brown  00:29:00 

Yeah.

Yeah. You know what? I just... I like to see off the field of course, making it a difference in communities, but I also,

like, our

our community to just build within our wives, I like our wives to just

to us to be the premier organization that you go to for anything in a fairly later or any really anything family related, you know, are are are related to

just the different services. You know, I want to be that one stop shop. You know, that's what I would like to see off the field be. But I think what's really most important

for me personally, I do love. There there is power in numbers

but just the fact that feel good that

when I help someone or when I talk to someone that no one knows about, like you said, not a lot of people

worldwide know about the organization, and that will come. I I'm confident that's gonna come.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:29:53 

Oh, yeah. Definitely well.

 

Ashley Brown  00:29:54 

But just the fact that the women that I know that I can talk to offline

that call me if they have a wife on a team that needs something. They think of me... They think of me to call, you know? And that just warms my heart to know that

we do make a difference, whether or not it's in the forefront that you see it, we are definitely making a difference in our community, And we are definitely

 

Juliet Hahn  00:30:14 

Yes.

 

Ashley Brown  00:30:16 

you know, we're

no nonsense. You know? I I think that we're very

educated

diverse,

talented

just stand up women that want to really make a difference in each other's lives. We wanna build each other up. We wanna create leadership

opportunities for each other, and we really want everyone to get involved and see that we're doing great things that you wanna get involved. You know?

It's a great time to to get involved with our organization because

we have so many wonderful things going on. We've partnered with some great group we have a huge event coming up in February that we're gonna to have a lot of events

leading up to it that are gonna be fun.

You'll be able to get some great gifts.

And, you know, I think it's just the the Tom,

You like, the stories that we're able to say to each other that it's, like, been there done that. You know, it's not any judgment,

which is wonderful for me. You know? I know I can sit down When I went my in sisters, even if it's were two days, I'm recharge when I leave them. You know, I just feel like, I'm rejuvenate and I can go take on the world, and I can go they will... Just be with them two days will give me a booze for six months.

Cynthia Zordich  00:32:54

Juliet Hahn  00:32:54 

And, you know, I have to say James in the audience who, by the way, is from Scotland,

said he found out about the organization because of the show. And that's what he said, Just keep doing the show because the more and more we do and talk about off, you know, off the field, it the more people hear about it. I mean, he talks about it over, you know, now Scotland because he's guess what... The nfl women are doing.

What is this? So it is. It's just talking about it in word a mouth, and the more and more that you guys do and put out the more and more people. It's one person at a time that that's gonna talk about it and share.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:33:15 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:33:31

Cynthia Zordich  00:33:35 

Fact. I I always like to say that

 

Ashley Brown  00:33:35 

Yes. Oh, so true.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:33:37 

Nfl women,

like where... Like, the scene And I always feel like, you know, we hold it all together so many times in different aspects of our lives, and especially during the game. And it's just something that you never see. Like, Julia, you keep saying. I didn't know about it. Nobody knows about it, but it... But we're there and it's happening and it's like kind like a quiet strength. And but... But it is important to let, especially the young

 

Ashley Brown  00:33:41 

You.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:33:41 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:33:56 

Yeah.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:33:57 

Right.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:34:01 

nfl women know that we're here and that they should be a part of it because we... You know, we will help guide them off the field is there for them to answer any questions they have. And then also, actually, you know, you should talk about hall fame health because you're very involved in same health and bringing that to. Because, you know, Ashley is had of all sponsorship

 

Ashley Brown  00:34:02 

Yes.

Yeah.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:34:19 

for

the fashion show. And with that, it leads to other type of partnerships that kind of lasts throughout the year. So I really think that it be great if you talked about that. Partnership.

 

Ashley Brown  00:34:22 

Yes.

Yes. So so our murder should with Hall Health, all the same helpless was created,

and it was brought about by Hall of fame.

Who were

really wanting more for their families as far as health care goes.

And the

they didn't... You... If you go out into the marketplace of what have you, you can get the premiums art find different health care, but it's not the

rolls royce health that you're used to having when you're a part of the Nfl, and that your families used to having. So they created a team

with hall of Fame health and a partnership

that is being offered to our families and our extended families

where, you know, if you don't have health care through your job or or through any other source,

they will help you find a premium and it's already already a network in place,

and you can actually reach out to them. They will help you find really great health care. For yourself and your family

with no

stipulation. Like, a lot of times, we can't find health care because of

preexisting conditions that a husband may have or someone else. Well, they have doctors and network that are willing to accept us

with those

freeze preexisting conditions that our husbands may have, and except... And give us great pricing

for our health care. And then there's also other programs as a financial fund where people that can't afford certain surgeries.

Now there are a lot of things that the Nfl does offer but there mostly things for the x place. You know?

So this is a extension that gives the family something to look forward to as well. And we're just starting this partnership,

and we're doing lunch and learns in certain cities. We've had them in Dallas in Houston, And the next one will be November tenth. And Phoenix Arizona.

So we're looking forward to that and we're looking forward to building a relationship

with them in the different cities. They partner with different health care systems in the different cities. So whatever city you live in,

there's a health care system that they partner with that you can you're you... Once you

you know, go through that network and sign up for the different health care, you're able to use all the docs in that health care system.

So it's just another added layer for us. A lot of people have a health reimbursement plan that they can use when they're premiums, but this just gives a better... You you just have access to more doctors and are not limited.

To different health care systems through the

through the government health care. So it's pretty, pretty interesting

relationship that we were brought. Buys couple of our hall of Fame wise, and it's and... You know, we're excited to get the relationship going and to build on it.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:37:16 

Right.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:37:16 

Yeah. So and I just really quickly because there might be, like, you know, young spouses or people in the Nfl the community that are like, wait. I wanna get involved with this. How do I get involved? So if you guys look at the school that's going through, is it the best way for them to go to off the field,

wives,

Nfl wives, on Instagram, and then there's the link tree, and then also, they can follow you and learn more about it. And

and Ashley

Instagram is there as well. Is that the best place you ladies think that people should...

 

Ashley Brown  00:37:42 

Right.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:37:43 

I would think so. Yes. I think so. Definitely.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:37:45 

Yeah.

 

Ashley Brown  00:37:45 

Yeah. I would think so. I would think so. And the hall of fame health is more so, like, mean you're in the, you have insurance. You know, you have everything. But... Hey, you never know. You're in the league one day.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:37:46 

Right.

Right.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:37:52 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:37:55 

You can be out that, you know. So I mean, we have, you know, retirement is not

in our in our business, you're not old and retirement. You know? I have some friends that just retired in their twenty eight, you know, from the Nfl. So it just depends on your career where you are in life, what have you. So it's always great. That's what I say, you know, people said some of the information we give is geared to our retire. Some is geared toward everyone,

 

Juliet Hahn  00:38:04 

Right.

Right.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:38:07 

Mhmm.

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:38:21 

but it's great information because you always

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:38:23 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:38:24 

come back and say, wait. Three years ago, I heard about this program. Now I'm eligible for it. Let me go and find that information. You know? Or let me call look at off the field and see if I can, you know, find out more about that. So it's just always great to put everything out there no matter if it's the current players retired players, you may have a friend that will be benefit from the information that we're giving. You know? So I like... I like the fact that we put it all out there for current live.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:38:28 

Right.

Mhmm.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:38:45 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:38:52 

Rhetorical why

anyone so that, you know, the information is there, and it's just, you know, they're... For the taking. So I enjoy that.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:38:57 

Right.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:39:00 

Yeah. And so rights so these lunches,

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:39:00 

Exactly.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:39:03 

so someone could get involved by going, but they would just have to look through here, you know, if they were in that city when you said that. So that they would just go to off the field. Okay.

 

Ashley Brown  00:39:10 

Yes.

Yes. So we'll be posting about the lunch on our website. So if there's local Arizona ladies that would like come into the lunch is just... In... For the lunch, we'll have

professional doctors that will that will share

on different topics. So those topics that we choose that we think the ladies would love to know about. And that's what be... That's what will happen at the legend.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:39:27 

Mhmm

 

Ashley Brown  00:39:34 

There will be some great topics that they're gonna share on. A lot of them will deal with women's cells.

I think we have a one of the topics this stressed and the holidays

Oh so that's gonna be a great, you know, how to deal with your youth and sports, you know?

 

Juliet Hahn  00:39:43 

Mhmm.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:39:46 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:39:49 

So we have a lot of topics, and we kinda put out a little questionnaire to ask ladies what they wanna hear about,

and then we go to the docs tell them, you know, so they cater the lunch and learn so the topics that we'd like to hear about.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:40:02 

Oh, that's great.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:40:02 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:40:03

to all our email blast, for so that all our ladies in the area will be able to know more about it.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:40:20 

Exactly. Yeah. It's on... The thing that's really great about it is that

each lunch to learn will be exclusive for that city and the interests of the women in that city. And also, it invites women in the Nfl, that are doing things in that city to participate. You know, if you, you know, have a a boutique or a brand or if you've written a book or if you actually are, you know,

 

Ashley Brown  00:40:28 

Mhmm.

Yes.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:40:36

So that'll be completely different than Arizona,

 

Ashley Brown  00:40:55 

Okay.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:40:57 

but and the topics aren't just hall fame health. It's really a house, you know, in wellness and anything that is that we wanna talk about. So that's why the partnerships sits wonderful because it really is just like an empowerment lunch,

 

Ashley Brown  00:41:02 

Oh, yeah. Definitely.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:41:09 

and it is created for growth and networking, and I think it will be really helpful

 

Ashley Brown  00:41:09 

It is.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:41:14 

in being that resource and bringing in those

younger girls in each of those team cities. So if you are in the Nfl, and you are in a team city that you think you'd like to see a lunch and learn, you know, you could, you know, either be Ashley or Dm off the field. Let us know. That you have some ideas and, you know, because that's what they're always asking us to. Like, where where can we go? Where do you wanna go? Mhmm.

You know, that it's not, you know, a part of me. But you don't know if your neighbor or your neighbor's uncle, someone, you know, through... What is it the the the a separation?

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:41:42

So

 

Juliet Hahn  00:45:18 

Wow.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:45:18 

And I really wanted to you to share the

difference

physically

when you're sun is playing and out there as opposed to when you look back when you were watching Ray,

play.

Because I I know personally, there's a difference

 

Ashley Brown  00:45:33 

Yeah.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:45:35 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:45:35 

Yeah.

Yeah. I see I think it is. I think, you know, I think I'm more I don't know when raised,

I I I love the game but when Raised, it was, you know, professionals towards, You know, Nfl,

I love the game of football, so I always said it was awesome for me to watch someone. I love, play a sport that I love. You know? So that was that was a big bonus and plus for me. But why it your son play like your baby? You know?

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:45:57 

Mhmm.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:45:57 

Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:46:04 

I don't and the because is on defense, he does the hit. You know? I mean, so it's a little different.

It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside the see him follow his dreams.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:46:16 

Yes.

 

Ashley Brown  00:46:16 

And to... And and for attempting... Them to start coming to fruition, You know, like, back a long time ago, he wanted to play college ball. He wanted to play b one. He wanted to be at a power.

Well, he was able to do all of that. But now that he's there, I think it's just more so

he knows and he just loves the sport. I don't really believe even in think it matters if it's a D one or power five.

Now then he's in college,

he just loved the game. You know? So watching him being so passionate about something he loves

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:46:40 

Mhmm

 

Ashley Brown  00:46:47 

because he grew up around it. You know, I always tell you're different because you grew up in this game. You grew up and your dad gave you access. You're dad,

 

Juliet Hahn  00:46:52 

Right.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:46:53 

Yeah.

 

Ashley Brown  00:46:56 

your dad was a coach. The head coaches allowed you to have access.

You were able to come every sunday home gain and be there with your dad from

three hours before game time on the field before the game to being in there in the stands. You know? So you have a a a front seat you know, at what it's really like. You know? So I just really am excited about

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:47:15 

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:47:18 

seeing him live out his dreams. You know, right now in the moment, You know? And not... You know, people say, oh does we wanna play Pro. I don't know. You know, who's doesn't wanna a play bro if they're in, you know, college words. Right? But is that something that he's passionate about it? But would it crush you know,

 

Juliet Hahn  00:47:29 

Right.

Right.

 

Ashley Brown  00:47:37 

you know, he's been around it so I think then he has a little different perspective on it.

I know that he wants to be in the business.

You know, I know that he had aspirations and dreams to you know, when his really close friend,

one of his best friends passed away a brain cancer,

you know, when he found He couldn't play football anymore. They always said they were gonna own a thing

be a general manager of a team together. You know?

This really good friend Kobe Young. So you know, I think that he wants to be in sports, and I think he's setting itself up to being sports. And I think it's just great so just watch him thrive and grow and to grow up at do, you know, every time I go there, I see that he's grown up a little bit more.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:48:18 

It's so special. And I... Simply, I love that you guys have that connection.

 

Ashley Brown  00:48:23 

Yeah.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:48:23 

You know, that, you know, might go be playing as well.

I think it's just... It's it's such a cool thing to be able to say you know, I I was here too and some can kind of you guys can talk about that. The feeling. I have young kids and I mean, teenagers, but they all are athletics, you know,

athletes and they play in high school, and I know how excited I get women you, and they do have aspirations playing college and I can imagine because on the one you're jumping up and down in the bleach excited, High fine. People feel jumping off the bleach when something that happens,

 

Ashley Brown  00:48:41 

Yeah.

Yes.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:48:51 

and it's excited to watch someone that you

grew inside you,

you know, and then raise, do something that they love. And be happy and excited about it. I think it's just such you know, whether it's sports or whether whatever it is to to be able to be there and be around that and and seeing that they're doing them and they're good at it. And you're cited for them and you've seen the hard work that they put in is really a special thing, and I think it comes from

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:49:08

Juliet Hahn  00:49:17

Ashley Brown  00:49:19

Cynthia Zordich  00:49:20 

Well,

1. I just think that there's such a huge lesson that you just shared there ashley that you know, not only an Nfl parents could appreciate, but parents in general

is just allowing and appreciating

that your child is in the moment and enjoying that moment and not worrying about the stats not worrying about where they're going after not worrying about if they're going pro. It's your son and not a prospect.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:49:36 

Mhmm.

Right.

 

Cynthia Zordich  00:49:46 

And I love the message there that you're enjoying it, whereas you see a lot of parents in this hands, they're scared, and they're nervous.

 

Ashley Brown  00:49:46 

Yes.

 

Juliet Hahn  00:49:47 

Oh, I love that.

 

Ashley Brown  00:49:53

Cynthia Zordich  00:49:53

a mismatch or,

you know, a miss block because of the stats and because it's future, you know, And that's a really important lesson that you just shared there is just enjoying the moment. Letting him Mhmm.

 

Ashley Brown  00:49:58

Ashley Brown  00:50:12
