How She Got A Job at Golf Digest As A College Student!

Lillian joins the podcast to talk about her path from Syracuse University to working at Golf Digest while still in college, and how she eventually found her way into the hobby as a breaker.
We talk about her background in sports, her time at Syracuse, and what it was like getting real experience in sports media while working with Golf Digest during school. That experience gave her an inside look at the sports media world before she transitioned into the sports card industry.
From there the conversation shifts into the hobby, where Lillian now works as a breaker and is part of the growing sports card community. She shares what it’s like being a female in the hobby, why women’s sports cards are gaining momentum, and why collectors might want to start paying attention to WNBA products.
We also get into hobby news and debates — including PSA issues, past product problems, and the relationship between grading companies and breakers.
Along the way we mix in plenty of sports talk, including Bam Adebayo dropping 83, the Joel Embiid 71-point game against Wemby, NFL draft discussions, and a few wild sports stories.
Fun episode with a little bit of everything.
