AGAINST ALL ODDS: Matt Sheldon from Become Elite and Mimi Dugger from Mimi Estelle have been working separately on their businesses for years. With this podcast, they have found a way to come together and work towards a common goal. Against All Odds will be a casual conversation about soccer, design, relationships, careers, and anything else that you would like to hear. For those of you just jumping on board, here’s a quick summary of how they got to this point: Mimi and Matt began dating in college, Matt started Become Elite, Mimi helped get his business off the ground, and soon after, she created a platform of her own, Mimi Estelle. Every day Matt continues to spread soccer knowledge and share his life as a professional footballer, while Mimi continues to spread her love for Interior Design and all things creative.
