"I was really starting to try new things out, whether it was commentating, I worked in an NBA front office—just really trying to see what I liked, what I didn't like, and go from there," she explained. In the past seven years, her perspective has shifted "and I think having the conversations that Megan and I have when we're just chilling on the couch, you start to get to know yourself better, you start to see what interests you and this became a natural direction.
Doing it alongside her favorite teammate was an easy yes. "I feel like we've both gained so much from the other's perspective and learning from that and being challenged," noted Bird.

That their work will place them in the same zip code more often is just a bonus.
