Together Is The Only Way To Sustain Jori, What Now?

    • Sport

Carlon Brown a former professional athlete from the overseas basketball community recently posted about his need to redirect his efforts towards his family and other things because his consulting business @pointadvising wasn't sustainable. Ive seen this happen in a few cases and it really triggered me because I know how important individuals like Carlon are to the community. Yet, the only way for us to sustain is together. My assumption is if more current athletes support the former athletes by using our likeness, and actually hiring them and not looking for free insights we will eventually empower individuals that can go into the decision making rooms and advocate for change on our behalf. I could be wrong. They say representation matters. In the sports industry case I believe more athletes in business positions is a win for the community. Its up to us though to elevate them.
