I just wrapped up my keynote at the 2024 Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas! It was an incredible experience speaking to 3,000 neurological surgeons about the importance of being a team leader both on and off the court, pursuing excellence, and navigating my transition from basketball to the business world. A special thank you to CNS President Alexander Khalessi, MD, MBA for the opportunity to speak today!

This morning I spoke to over 7100 school counselors, administrators, and academic advisors that are true life changers to kick off the National Association of College Admissions Counciling Conference here in LA! I thanked them for their important work, told them how valuable their roles are, and share my personal story about how my academic advisors at Everett High School, Ms. Bird and Ms. Hall, and at MSU changed my life. Thanks to Ms. Bird and Ms. Hall at Everett specifically, I was able to get help and correct a reading problem that was impacting my studies! Their support enhanced my education, my life, and helped me become the person and businessman I am today.    Thank you to NACAC CEO Angel Perez for having me as the keynote speaker today! It was a great joy for me to speak about something I’m so passionate about and really pour into today’s audience.

The Expert XP Inc. Conference held two meet and greets and a power luncheon with successful entrepreneurs and the most influential people in Brazil.
