Tidal League

This one is relevant to my industry.  It's a common topic of talk amongst all sport enthusiasts and leagues.   Fighting is something that happens often, it builds hype and gives onlookers a chance to critique.     I wanted to hear what Tee and Shea thought, their perspective and how honest and risky they would be with the topic.     Tee's views were honest - she spoke on it from a mothers viewpoint and businesswoman viewpoint.  Great convo - truthful and honest.  

This week’s featured episode is from newly launched podcast Run Your Race. A podcast that has some serious momentum and is taking the space by storm! Our host Theo Pinson, from the Dallas Mavericks, is joined by one of his close friends Devonte’ Graham of the Pelicans. They talk about growing up in North Carolina and who inspired them on their journeys to the NBA. Be prepared for some serious laughs as these two players bring an electrifying chemistry as they go at each other throughout the episode. They take a dive into their contracts and who they think should be making more money! Tune in to hear these players talk about their growth and the ups and downs faced.

This episode exists to expel the idea that brown CEOs only exist in tech. The new CEO of Starbucks is Indian. CEOs of South Asian descent are crushing it in every industry, with 30% of Fortune 500 companies being led by one. Nav and G thoughtfully break down possible reasons for this, how to shift perception away from being tech-centered, and why we don't know these ballers' names. The last being a perfect advertisement for why you need to listen to the Brown Ballers podcast.

For this week's episode, I choose Survival of the Fitted when JJ Redick joined the boys. A masterpiece of an interview where Joe met his idol JJ Redick and got to clear the air on his fandom. From the ultimate maaaaaaaan to one of the greatest to ever dawn a Blue Devil jersey. This was also an episode where I think Joe showed how great he was at this craft. Duke fashion, NBA career and a lot more to break down with JJ Redick as dawns his presence on one of the funniest podcast episodes to ever grace our network. Duke fashion, NBA career and a lot more to break down. Hope you all enjoy one of my favourite episodes and a legendary discussion.

From Morgan - for this week's TLP submission, I chose Jordan Nixon’s episode on Get With It called “Addressing Mental Health and Turning Pain into Power”. I chose this because I found that what Jordan had to say really hit home for me. As a former athlete, you always hear coaches drill into their players the idea of “Mental Toughness” and the connotation that if you can’t handle the environment your in then you’re mentally “soft”. Young Athletes need to hear, more often, athletes like Jordan talking about how important it is to prioritize your mental health! The stigma surrounding the topic needs to be beaten!
