NEW YORK -- November 5, 2026 -- TikTok and iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today launch"Born to Become with Diana Flores," the newest original podcast to join the TikTok Podcast Network. The series premieres today, November 5, with new episodes dropping every Thursday. Ten-time award winning sports executive Sam Rapoport joins Flores for the premiere episode, with upcoming guests including former professional soccer player and two-time FIFA Women's World Cup champion Ashlyn Harris, sports media personality Jenny Taft, and more.
Hosted by two-time flag football world champion and NFL and International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Global Flag Ambassador Diana Flores, the new weekly series features leading voices across sports, entertainment, business and culture for candid conversations that go beyond professional accolades to reveal the people behind the achievements. Drawing on her own journey breaking barriers and helping elevate flag football on the global stage, Flores will sit down each week with athletes, executives, innovators, entrepreneurs, artists, creators and more to explore the defining experiences, challenges and turning points that have shaped who they are today. Through honest, fun and raw conversations, "Born to Become" will uncover the personal stories often left out of professional bios, offering listeners new perspectives and lessons they can apply to their own lives.
"I've had the opportunity to meet so many incredible people throughout my career, and one thing I've learned is that the most powerful stories often have nothing to do with the achievements we see on the surface," said Flores. "Behind every success is a journey filled with unexpected challenges, defining decisions, and moments of growth that deserve to be shared. That's what inspired me to create Born to Become. I'm so excited to partner with TikTok and iHeartPodcasts to bring these conversations to life and create a space where our guests can share a different side of themselves. I hope listeners find inspiration, connection, and valuable lessons in these stories that encourage them to pursue their own dreams and recognize there is no limit to who they can become."
The new series joins the TikTok Podcast Network's growing slate of original programming reflecting TikTok and iHeart's continued focus on creating new opportunities for creators to grow and reach new audiences, while giving fans more ways to discover and connect with the personalities they love.
"Diana Flores is a great example of how podcasting is creating new opportunities for athletes, creators and entertainers to build on what they've already accomplished and introduce themselves to new audiences," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. "Through our creative and production capabilities and massive reach, iHeart and the TikTok Podcast Network are helping talent like Diana bring their vision, voice and perspective to life on a new platform and connect with even more fans."
