Author: Carl Lee May 22, 2025 Duration: 1:00:47
This episode of Let’s Talk with Carl Lee brings together two powerful stories of focus, ambition, and leadership. First, Charleston Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin shares how USA Cycling is transforming Charleston into a national sports destination—and what it means for the city's economy, culture, and pride. From Olympic qualifiers to para-cycling events, the Mayor offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to host world-class athletes.

Then, All-American sprinter Candace Morris joins the crew to reflect on her journey from the Capital City Striders to breaking records at West Virginia State University. She opens up about training without proper facilities, why she’s transferring, and her dreams of going pro. The team also tackles NIL inequality, transfer culture, and what it truly takes to be elite. A bold and inspiring episode packed with hometown pride, athletic resilience, and the pursuit of greatness.

Tune in on Tuesdays and Thursdays for new episodes of Let's Talk with Carl Lee, a space where the lines between the game, the culture around it, and the society we live in are all part of the same essential conversation. Hosted by former NFL All-Pro Carl Lee, this podcast moves beyond simple sports commentary. Alongside co-hosts Lisa Otey and Hollis Lewis, Carl facilitates a dialogue that is as insightful as it is direct, drawing from his own experiences to examine leadership, personal growth, and the broader social issues often reflected in the world of athletics. You'll hear discussions that are grounded in real perspective, where a debate about a team's strategy might naturally lead to a deeper exploration of community influence or educational values. For a different kind of weekly engagement, the conversation also airs every Sunday afternoon at 1:06 PM on 580 WCHS. This isn't just analysis; it's a thoughtful, unfiltered look at how sports and culture continuously shape our lives, making each episode a unique blend of reflection and candid talk.
