Behind the Celebrations: Beth Knox on Building Legacy, Community & Courage

What does it take to lead a city into celebration? To pull off events that make history—and still be home in time for dinner with your husband and twin boys? In this episode, I sit down with the incomparable Beth Knox, President and CEO of the Seattle Sports Commission, whose career reads like a love letter to community, celebration, and service. From producing Seattle’s Super Bowl Victory Parade to planning the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup events, Beth has spent 35+ years shaping the city’s most iconic moments—not for the cameras, but for connection. But this isn’t just a highlight reel of achievements. We talk about the why behind Beth’s work, the quieter moments that moved her most, and the importance of creating space for joy and belonging in a world that often feels disconnected. She shares the personal truths that guide her, how she maintains her center amidst public pressure, and how she navigates her own season of life with intention and heart. This conversation isn’t just about sports. It’s about leadership, legacy, and choosing to show up—even when the path ahead isn’t fully visible. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start over or whether your life still holds something bigger—you’ll want to listen in. Listen, share, and let it remind you: You have something extraordinary to offer this world. Available wherever you get your podcasts. Follow me for more conversations that get to the heart.
