Episode Details

This week on Living OUT Loud, Michele sits down with someone who’s not just a guest, she’s chosen family. Jax Diener, the visionary behind Watch Me Sports Bar in Long Beach, joins Michele for an honest and heartfelt conversation about courage, community, and creating spaces where everyone feels at home.

Birthday twins and friends for over 30 years, Michele and Jax share memories, laughter, and reflections that go far beyond business ownership. Together, they explore what it means to build something from the ground up, to be seen when you’ve been underestimated, and to lead with heart in a world that’s still learning to celebrate women and queer joy out loud.

Tune in for:

• The story behind Watch Me — California’s first sports bar dedicated to women’s sports
• How Jax turned “Watch me” into a personal and community mantra
• What 30 years of friendship can teach us about loyalty, laughter, and resilience
• A rapid-fire round that’ll have you smiling from ear to ear

Grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and get ready to be inspired.
