Latest Episodes:

Breanna Barksdale - My Only Competition is Myself Oct 24, 2018

Show notes

Breanna has one of the most amazing stories I've had the chance to interview. From not being a high school athlete to picking up volleyball and competing at the highest level. She even transferred because she wanted tougher competition. During the time that she was just learning how to play she talks about the phrase "the only competition is yourself". This was the first time I had ever heard this in the self love compassion sense. Hope you enjoy!

This is one of my favorite hustle stories.

We have some great things we talk about but my biggest take away was to always be better than expected. Enjoy!

Louis Weimann was a 3x high school hockey champ and a 2x D3 champ at UMass Dartmouth. After his playing days were over he jumped into the sales world.

Show notes

Matt Killen is a former hooper that played at Boston University and Central Missouri. After his playing career ended, Matt started getting into the marketing industry.

After receiving an MBA he found how hard it was to break into the marketing industry. He finally got a moment to show the NBA how he worked.

After that, he was taken on by the NBA as a full time employee!

We talk about that the worst thing you can do when getting into the real world is indecision. Just get out there and go for something.

Samantha Commins - Don't be Afraid to Play with the Big Dawgs Oct 17, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we sit down with Samantha Commins and talk about the pressures that we put on ourselves as athletes. As we move into the real world, those same pressures impact our lives. We need to have self-love and appreciate every experience. My favorite part of the interview is when we talk about playing with the "big dawgs". Starting back at the bottom of an industry isn't easy, but you've been playing up your whole life. Go get em'

Tyler and I played for the same high school club coach, but you would have thought we had played on the same team.
