Raftyn Rignell, former UConn Volleyball player is my guest on Husky Talk. Loved seeing her for the first time in 20 years. Procyon Partners is one of the top 50 fastest growing companies in the country. They specialize in employee benefits, wealth management and retirement planning. President Sean Rabinowitz provides exceptional outcomes and is a proud supporter of Husky Talk. She was always athletic, competing as a gymnist before she grew taller . Volleyball and basketball were sports she excelled in. Ultimately, playing club volleyball with several teammates who went to division 1 colleges was how UConn found her and recruited Raftyn to Storrs. She had a great career despite a few difficult injuries and ended up being a double major. After coaching at the college level, working for her father, in 2019 she decided to try starting to use social media to be an influencer. Her competitive drive from sports translated to wanting to show she could be successful. It started with doing projects around her house with her husband and has grown into a juggernaut. She has millions of followers. Her best advice to me was to be relatable and build strong engagement. Very happy she would throw me a few tips, learning from the best, I am grateful. Between Raftyn and Nicki Maher , they have built empires on social media! Green Street Trust International is our newest sponsor of Husky Talk.

Over the past 5 months I have been on a journey to climb back into the boxing ring and fight in Victory Gala to raise money for the Pinball Foundation. Last night I had that fight and unfortunately I was not the winner. It was a split decision, and like most competitive minded people I hate losing, especially when it was close. However, I also believe that losing is part of the path to ultimately winning. When the sting of the loss is over you have to reflect on what can be learned, what was accomplished, and what the next step will be. This mindset has served me well in life and business. So here are some reflections: 1) I started this journey in early January - In five months I brought myself back to fighting shape. Frankly an incredible transformation that I won’t go into great detail about but probably will add years to my life, because there is NO going back! 2) I immersed myself in the skills of creative marketing in order to get my donations promoted and thank you posts out there. This is a skill I can now take to other aspects of my work. 3) Brenda Benard and I were inspired to move forward with our new charitable initiative and will continue to build on that effort (more to come on this). 4) I discovered, no, was reminded of all the great friends, and supporters I have in my life. I am so so so blessed and grateful for all of you. 5) This is the biggest one, I raised over $30,000.00 dollars for the kids who will benefit from my effort. This is the true win that I am so proud of. I understand it is a record with this event and while my ego would have liked to hold up a belt. If given the choice to raise the money for the kids or win the fight, I would take a beating every time! Finally, I know I have used this platform a lot to promote the fight and get donations. Some people feel this is a place purely for work related things. This event is work related in my opinion, very important work. I will soon be back to my usual investigations and mediation commentary, trying to share what I can to help. Thank you to all my friends, family, and clients for allowing me the privilege to engage so fully, and I promise to always work hard to be a difference maker for enhancing the lives of others. What’s the next step…I will take some time to consider that but my love of boxing will never diminish and coaching youth would be a potential next step. My coach Syd Vanderpool creates great boxers and great coaches, so I’ll see what he thinks about my prospects as a coach. I’m inspired by a man who coaches under Syd and was in my corner last night Mehrzad Salkhordeh. Both these men give back every day in many ways and they inspire me to continue to do the same.

How can we help?

Youth sports, especially high school sports, allow a platform for young adults to learn some valuable life lessons. How to contend with adversity, learn leadership skills, conflict resolution, the value of hard work, being fruitful in your role(whatever that is), team building, rising from failure and handling success. It’s the main reason I enjoy coaching so much within a sport I played and love. Any funds raised from this silent auction will help these kids in that endeavor. To not only be better players, but better people. #RangerPride https://lnkd.in/gy_6RZ7w

Last week, the #MFN24 team were paid a visit by a legend of the sport - Johnny Nelson MBE. 🥊❤️ He held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) cruiserweight title from 1999 to 2006, and remains the longest reigning cruiserweight world champion of all time. Nelson defended the title against thirteen different opponents, more than any other cruiserweight in history, and holds a joint-record of most consecutive cruiserweight title defences (along with Marco Huck). But.....to those awesome credentials, he can now add that he had the privilege of coaching both Nicole Hansen and myself, gifting us some of his skills and wisdom. 💪😀 Johnny has also been a huge, long-term supporter of Media Fight Night, helping it to raise over £1.5m for its nominated charities over the past 8 years. This year, we're supporting two incredible charities - Off The Ropes and Carney's Community! If you would like to give to our group JustGiving fundraising page, you can do that here (naming me in your donation comment please, you lovely people): https://lnkd.in/ewZAtSRw Thank you! 🥊 John Maloney Ashley Newman Amanda Rosevear Charlotte Ford DJ Agahi Dory Tse Gareth Cross Jamel Green Kenny Maxwell Mark Burborough Nicole Hansen Seun Odeneye Wayne Mensah Xavier H Keenan Mira Childerhouse Hannah Marshall #MediaFightNight2024 #OffTheRopes #CarneysCommunity #CharityBoxing #FightForACause #MFN24 #founders #marketing #growth #startup #marketing #content #programmatic #adtech #martech #advertisers #datadrivenmarketing #marketers #mediaplanning #performancemarketing #cmo #brands #marketingandadvertising #mediabuying #advertising #mediaagency #media #data #mediastrategy #startuptips #scaleups #growthmarketing #vcs

How important is sport and physical activity to the development of our children? But have you donated to your local sports club lately? The Australian Sports Foundation provides you the the ability to make tax deductible donations to sport clubs. As a parent, football coach, player, and club administrator I know it takes good adults to help young people become the best they can be. It takes a village, right? We all know physical activity is integral to our health and wellbeing. We also know the many challenges to starting and keeping children and teenagers engaged in sport. Whether the young person is playing social, or organised grassroots sport, or at an elite level in National Rugby League AFL - Australian Football League Cricket Australia Rugby Australia National Basketball League (NBL) Netball Australia Tennis Australia Athletics Australia Football Australia or any other sport, our kids need our support. And done right, sport plays a hugely positive role in developing our kids - physically, mentally, and socially. In good times and bad. Good adults understand the need to mentor the next generation. If you’re still reading this, consider a tax deductible donation to your local or favourite sports club. If you’re a Manly Warringah Sea Eagles fan, come and play your part in helping the next generation soar. Donate now. Queries to foundation@seaeagles.com.au  #ManlySeaEagles #NextGen #Donate
