🏀 Big West Conference SAAC Summit Interactive Leadership Development Workshop for Student-Athletes
Led a full-day workshop for 30 student-athletes and conference staff on transitioning leadership skills from competition to career. Rather than generic motivation, we focused on practical frameworks: how to make decisions with incomplete information, adapt when your original plan falls apart, and identify who's actually built for your next chapter vs who just talks a good game.
The conference brought me back for a second engagement after working together in 2024. When organizations invest in repeat bookings, it means the tools actually worked.
What participants learned:
Decision-making frameworks that work under pressure
How to navigate major life transitions with clarity
Building resilience that goes beyond "staying positive"
Identifying your CarPlay Docs vs MapQuest Passengers
🎤 Speaker – Young Black Males Conference
Spoke to 60+ young men who'd lost everything in the SoCal wildfires. Some had watched their homes burn down. Others were starting over with nothing but the clothes they wore to the event.
I didn't give them generic advice about "everything happens for a reason." I shared what I actually learned when doctors told me my limitations were permanent and I had to rebuild my entire identity from a hospital bed.
The real work isn't staying positive. It's learning how to make decisions when you don't have complete information. It's figuring out who's actually built for your road trip vs who disappears when things get difficult. It's raising your floor so that bad days don't derail your progress completely.
These weren't just concepts to them. They were survival tools they could use immediately.

Twenty-one hours a day in a hospital bed gives you time to think. I started filming because I needed to document what it actually looks like when your entire life plan falls apart and you have to figure out what's next.
This isn't a comeback story with a neat ending. It's the messy middle of rebuilding when doctors say "forever" and you hear "not yet."

We talked about the gap between what people think the athlete transition looks like and what it actually feels like. Growing up in Chicago, going pro, then having to rebuild everything from scratch when a career-ending injury changes the game completely.
The conversation covered how to identify which skills actually transfer and which ones you just thought did. Plus why most athletes wait too long to figure out what comes next.
