Description

We’re joined by LJ Rader (the mind behind Art But Make It Sports) and Elling Hofland (die-hard Minnesota Gophers fan) — two of the founders of FanFlare Sports, a new app designed to bring fans closer to women’s college volleyball.


We get into how a volleyball rookie (LJ) and a superfan (Elling) teamed up, what they’re trying to solve for fans, and how they built a one-stop-shop for schedules, where to watch, stats, and community.


Plus, we discuss our thoughts on who could take down Nebraska, the future of volleyball fandom, the outlook for Minnesota and Vanderbilt volleyball, and why FanFlare might be your new favorite app.
