Content overview: “Gotham FC Owner Carolyn Tisch Blodgett on Leading With Authenticity and Family”. Carolyn Tisch Blodgett, the owner of NJ/NY Gotham FC, is redefining leadership in professional sports by bringing her three children to games and team events. As CEO and a mother, she says that showing up as her full self—kids included—sets the tone for players and staff to do the same. Her approach reflects a broader shift in workplace culture, where authenticity and work-life integration are valued over rigid professionalism.

The result, she believes, is a stronger, more connected team culture that can translate into performance on and off the pitch.
