Creativity through the lens of a Senior Account Executive and Podcast Host
"Creativity means being origional and authentically you."
Over the course of his basketball career, he suffered his fair share of serious injuries. But, the toughest injury he suffered was the identity crisis I experienced when his career was over.
He was so focused on the title of becoming a "professional athlete", that he never thought about the end goal of what he wanted to create in life. For most of his life, he saw sport as the only way he could create success in life.
He was selling himself short, putting himself in a box.
When it was time for a new journey and an identity shift, he realized that he had to understand where he ultimately wanted to be in life and who he wanted to become. That way, he could be flexible with the journey it took to get there while still applying the same skills and principles that I used in athletics.
Now, he spends his time trying to inspire and impact others by constantly improving himself and not being defined by a “title”.
He produces and hosts a podcast with a good friend and mentor of his, Mason Eddy, called Playing Injured. Which is all about taking the path with the most resistance and turning your adversity into your advantage.
On the show, they’ve had the pleasure of interviewing top entrepreneurs, authors, entertainers, and former/current professional athletes. Some of their guests include Evan Carmichael, Anthony Trucks, Mark Metry & Jevon Carter of the Phoenix Suns.
He's a Senior Account Executive at a “Best Place to Work” named by both Crain’s and Inc. Magazine, Smokeball. Where he consults with law firm owners nationwide, on how to best modernize their practice and increase revenue in the new age of tech.
