With Caitlin Clark's backing, will Gabbie Marshall's venture set a new standard for athlete entrepreneurship?

It’s no surprise that players who share years of court time and collective leadership in college forge strong bonds. Such is the case with two of the rookies, Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin, who despite entering the big stage, haven’t left behind the friendships made during their college careers. It once again became obvious when their former Iowa teammate celebrated a personal milestone, and both the rookies were there to celebrate her.

Recently, the Iowa alum, Gabbie Marshall, released a video on her Instagram that saw her announcing the start of her own podcast. “So I’ve debated starting a podcast for a while now and I decided to just go for it! I’ve been blessed with an amazing platform that I want to use and build. Therefore, we’re excited to announce the Just Gabbin’ Podcast!” 

Marshall also hinted that her boyfriend will be joining her on the show. Together, they’ll dive into discussions about her basketball career, share candid jokes, and tell never-before-heard stories.

“Omg yay!!!!!❤️,” wrote an excited Las Vegas Aces rookie over the new venture.

While Martin just showed enthusiasm, Caitlin Clark rather made a promise to her Hawkeye teammate. The Fever rookie reassuring her friend’s project, wrote, “Gonna subscribe obviously.”

Angel Reese might just have some competition now for her newly released ‘Unapologetically Angel.’ Debuting last week, the Sky forward’s show follows similar concepts, except, she is expected to have an All-Star cast of guests.

Have an interesting take?

Regardless, Gabbie clearly has her fans, who double down as friends from the WNBA, locked in for herself.

Gabbie Marshall has cheerleaders for life

After graduating from Iowa, Gabbie Marshall retired from professional sports and pivoted to a new career path in North Carolina, where she’s pursuing a Master’s in Occupational Therapy. Just before she left, the Iowa star penned down a heartfelt note, recalling her college journey. “I have been given, people I have met, and friendships that will last forever because of the game of basketball… Thank you Iowa and Hawkeye Nation for being my home away from home,” a part of her post read. Clark and Martin were, of course, there to reciprocate.

“Love you boozus,” the LV rookie wrote while the Indiana No.22 assured, saying, “I love you forever and always. My girl for life.” A good hair day, a brand-ambassador moment, or a life-altering chapter, the Iowa trifecta is not to be missed seen cheering.

The trio played over four years together at Iowa and were significant in their consecutive seasons leading to NCAA finals. But that needn’t be the last time the they were spotted together. Considering Kate Martin recently appeared on Jada Gyamfi’s Fresh Tawk podcast, a little reunion on Marshall’s new venture isn’t all too much of an ask.
