Building More Than Stadiums: A Cincy Conversation with Jeff Berding
In this lively episode of Cincy 5 o’clock Tales, hosts Molly Wellmann and Abbey Cummins (of Everything Cincinnati) sit down for a candid conversation with Jeff Berding — co-CEO of FC Cincinnati and a key figure in bringing Major League Soccer to the Queen City. Recorded inside the stylish Merchants Club at The Party Source in Newport, Kentucky, this episode dives deep into how sports, business, and community intersect.
From the exciting new renovations at TQL Stadium to the broader role FC Cincinnati plays in shaping the city’s future, Jeff shares stories of vision, leadership, and civic pride. The trio also explores Cincinnati’s unique cultural fabric, how local establishments drive connection, and what it means to build a city that thrives on history, heart, and hustle.
Pour a drink and pull up a chair—this is one Cincy tale you won’t want to miss.
