Sure, Wendy Bronfein is the Chief Brand Officer at Curio Wellness but she’s also a Bananas baseball mom, sponsor of the BMW Championship with a special connection to Caves Valley and loves sports enough to join us on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to chat with Nestor about when Baltimore comes together to pack ’em in.

Former sports executive Micah Buchdahl comes home to Baltimore from Philly to discuss pro teams and fan support

They met over 40 years ago in the professional sports space. Now a Philadelphia lawyer, Baltimorean Micah Buchdahl was once a Washington Capitals PR assistant who later ran a MISL soccer franchise and maintains his long friendship with Nestor via the Eagles, Phillies and 76ers family passion on his timeline. It’s always a pleasure to welcome Buchdahl home for a discussion about winning, losing and spending the money it takes to host parades and keep fans (and their wallets) engaged.
