Welcome to Argent’s first-ever live Work Friends episode, recorded earlier this month at the Tech Futures Summit in New York. Sali was joined on stage by New York Liberty Forward Breanna Stewart and Executive Vice President of Talent and The Collective at Wasserman, Lindsay Kagawa Colas. Lindsay manages an incredible roster of star athletes, including Stewie.

Right in the thick of the WNBA’s new collective-bargaining agreement, Stewie and Lindsay opened up about the inequitable playing field that exists and what they hope to see from the league going forward. And, in true Work Friends fashion, we get into their backstories, too. This is a conversation not to be missed, including:

• Stewie’s reaction to her Unrivaled co-founder, Napheesa Collier’s comments on WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
• how Lindsay negotiated the first-ever Inclusion Rider into an athlete's contract.
• why the Unrivaled league is so necessary for women basketball players, who typically play overseas in the off-season.
• how fans can support the WNBA in their fight for equitable pay, and so much more.

Both Stewie and Lindsay’s work sparks attention and societal change—they are cultural conversion starters and actively work to push the status quo. I’m honored to have them both join me today to speak more about their work on and off the court.
