    You're More Than the Game | NBA's Grant Williams on Impact Beyond Basketball

    Send us Fan Mail What does it look like to win at life when the world is grading you on a scoreboard? Live from Hamptons Tech Week at the Montauk Yacht Club, we sit down with NBA forward Grant Williams for a straight talk conversation about influence, community, and the kind of legacy that outlasts any season. Grant shares how he thinks about impact beyond basketball, including the work he leads through the Grant Williams Family Foundation. We dig into mentorship and literacy programs in North Carolina, why partnerships like the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library matter, and how computer literacy initiatives can help close the access gap for communities that have been left behind. If you care about athlete philanthropy, nonprofit collaboration, or simply doing more with the platform you have, this conversation gives you a clear, grounded blueprint. Then it gets fun and surprisingly insightful: Grant opens up about getting into Pilates and realizing it can humble even a pro who is used to moving heavy weight. We talk about embracing weakness, finding challenges that make you more well rounded, and why strength training paired with mobility work can be a game changer for performance and health. Grant also leaves advice for young athletes who feel defined by one role, reminding them their value is bigger than the sport they play.

    How to Turn 50 Million Followers Into a Real Business | Austin Sprinz

    Send us Fan Mail A billion views a month sounds like magic until you hear the routine behind it. We’re live at Hampton Tech Week with Austin Sprinz, a creator who’s spent 10 years building an audience that now totals around 50 million followers across platforms, and he’s refreshingly honest about what it took to get there: years of posting with little payoff, tiny improvements every day, and a mindset that refuses to quit when the numbers don’t move. We also go deeper than content. Austin walks us through the leap from influencer to founder with two passion projects he’s going all-in on. One is Memento, a screenless digital camera that feels like a disposable, keeps you present while you shoot, and delivers retro, vintage-style photos when you upload later. The other is Pulse Drones, a drone show company that can “draw” art in the sky for festivals and events, turning creativity into a shareable real-world moment people can’t look away from. Then we get practical: how he finds fresh ideas (quiet mornings, meditation, breathwork, and avoiding early phone stimulation), what “consistency is king” actually looks like over multiple years, and how a big enough why becomes the North Star that keeps you moving. We close with hot takes, including the belief that there is no failure, only feedback. If you like creator strategy, TikTok growth, social media marketing, and building businesses from a personal brand, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a creator friend, and leave a review, then tell us: what’s the one habit you’d start tomorrow?

    The Agent-Player Relationship Is Broken — Levi Wallace Wants to Fix It

    Send us Fan Mail A lot of people assume the biggest challenge for a pro athlete is making a roster. We’ve learned the quieter challenge is what happens next: building a life where your money, relationships, and identity don’t get managed by strangers you barely know. From a yacht at the Montauk Yacht Club, we talk with former NFL cornerback Levi Wallace about the real off-field game and why trust is the most important line in any contract. Levi shares his story from being a two-time national champion at the University of Alabama to spending eight years in the NFL, then transitioning into a new role as a sports agent with Legacy Trust Sports Group. He explains why he didn’t choose coaching, what he heard in locker rooms about agents and agencies, and why too many players only hear from their representation when it’s time to sign or when they’re hurt. We dig into financial literacy, advisor selection, and the “referral pipeline” that can turn into a predatory system if nobody is willing to be transparent. We also get into Levi’s community work through the Levi Wallace Foundation in Arizona, including taking high school students suit shopping to build confidence and open doors for graduation, college, job interviews, and life. Finally, Levi drops clear advice for the NIL era: don’t chase the biggest bag if it costs development, stability, or even school credits that don’t transfer. If your goal is the NFL, choose the place that helps you grow on and off the field. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share this with an athlete or parent navigating NIL and recruiting, and leave a review with the biggest lesson you’re taking from Levi’s approach.

He breaks down why he pursued his CFP certification while still in the league, how learning cash management, taxes, debt, investing, and real estate changed the way he saw every paycheck, and why "rich" isn't the same as "wealthy."

    He Delivered His Own Baby in the Back of a Lexus | Niv Davidovich

    Send us Fan Mail He has an engineering degree. He's a top 100 attorney. And his name is on his son's birth certificate — under "Delivered By." Because Niv Davidovich caught his baby like a football in the back of a Lexus sedan, two minutes from his house, outside a Whole Foods, on a Friday night. It made international news. ABC had a helicopter circling. Uber sent a onesie. And then he went back to being one of California's most sought-after real estate attorneys. We sat down with Niv Davidovich on the Elevate Collection Podcast — landlord-tenant litigator, real estate law expert, and one of the most direct, no-nonsense voices on what's actually happening inside California's housing crisis. Niv connects with over 4,000 real estate professionals on LinkedIn — and he's earned it, because he talks like a person, not a credential. This episode is equal parts wild storytelling and real estate education that every athlete, investor, agent, and property owner needs to hear. In this episode we get into: — The full story of delivering his son in an Uber outside a Whole Foods on the Sabbath (yes, really)  — Why Uber PR was all over it — and what he actually got in return ($250 in credits and a onesie)  — How athletes and entertainers should be structuring LLCs and trusts to protect their real estate privacy  — Why owning property in California is no longer a side hustle — it's NFL playoffs with your team losing  — The landlord vs. tenant war playing out in LA, NYC, Seattle, and DC right now  — Squatters, fake leases written on ChatGPT, and why the police can't help you  — The machete story (yes, there's a machete story)  — How a city councilman changed an eviction law mid-case — and why Niv has the recording to prove it  — Why California says it wants affordable housing and then makes it nearly impossible to build  — What he'd change if he could tear the whole system down and rebuild it from scratch  — His family's journey from the USSR — and why he's fighting to make sure those ideas don't come back  — Why you should call a real estate attorney before you buy, not after "Owning property in Los Angeles right now is like being in the NFL during playoffs with your team not doing so well. This is not a side hustle. If you're not prepared for it, you are going to get run over." — Niv Davidovich This is what the Elevate Collection Podcast is built for — bringing you into rooms where the real conversations happen, with people who tell you the truth. 🌐 www.elevatecollection.co | www.davidovichlaw.com ⚖️ Work with Niv — California landlord tenant, real estate, construction & employment litigation: connect with him on LinkedIn #NivDavidovich #ElevateCollection #ElevateCollectionPodcast #CaliforniaRealEstate #LandlordTenantLaw #SquatterLaws #RealEstateLaw #RealEstateAttorney #CaliforniaHousingCrisis #LARealestate #EvictionLaw #RentControl #AthleteRealEstate #RealEstateInvesting #AssetProtection #LLCStrategy #RealEstateTips #PropertyRights #WhereInfluenceMeetsLegacy #SportsBusiness #RealEstatePodcast #InvestorEducation #WealthBuilding #RealEstateLitigation #HousingCrisis #TopAttorney #LandlordRights #RealEstateInvestor #AthleteWealth #EntertainmentBusiness www.createcultivate.com ELEVATECC20 for 20% OFF Support the show Before you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect: 1.

    Youth Sports Has a Mentorship Problem. He's Trying to Fix It | Jimmy Marshall

    Send us Fan Mail The recruiting journey can feel like a maze built out of opinions, pressure, and expensive “helpers” who may not have your best interests at heart. From Hamptons Tech Week at the Montauk Yacht Club, we sit down with Jimmy Marshall, founder of PAVE, to talk about the one advantage that changes everything for a young athlete: real access to someone who has already done what you’re trying to do. Jimmy draws from his own path as a former Division I basketball player at Northeastern University and explains how early exposure to high-level athletes forced him to take his craft seriously. Now, with NIL reshaping college sports and the rules changing constantly, he sees families struggling to find trustworthy, verified experience. That gap creates risk for athletes and parents alike: wasted time, wasted money, and decisions made without clear feedback from people who have actually navigated the process. We get into how PAVE works, why Jimmy describes it as “Airbnb and Cameo for sports,” and what mentorship looks like when it’s practical, direct, and paid for transparently. He also shares his sharpest guidance for recruits: the best advice is often what not to do, because avoiding the wrong paths can be more valuable than copying someone else’s playbook. If you care about youth sports, college recruiting, NIL, athlete mentorship, and protecting families from a predatory marketplace, this conversation will give you a clearer lens and a real next step.

    Why Winning Alone Sucks | Pro Skateboarder Turned Founder Justin Eldridge

    Send us Fan Mail "Fully follow your heart. It's an easy thing to say — but when you really get down to it, it will guide you to where you need to go." That's the kind of wisdom that only comes from someone who's actually done it. Twice. We're coming to you live from Hamptons Tech Week 2026 at Montauk Yacht Club, and this episode is one you didn't see coming — in the best way. Justin Eldridge spent two decades as a professional skateboarder — traveling the world, building influence, and learning more about people than most ever will. Then he found golf. And then food. And what he's building now at the intersection of all three is something the industry has never seen. Meet Golf With Flavor — and its food and beverage arm, House of Flavor — a brand rooted not in sport, but in people. Community. Connection. And doing it all together. In this episode we get into: — Two decades as a pro skateboarder and what the road actually teaches you about people  — How Justin walked into brand collaborations without even mentioning skateboarding — and still closed the room  — Why he believes money is the wrong goal — and what to chase instead  — The pivot from skateboarding to golf, and why golf is far more diverse than people think  — Golf With Flavor and House of Flavor — what he's building and why it matters  — Why he took peer counseling four times in high school and how it shaped everything  — His hot take: you can be selfish — if you want the right things for everyone  — Why winning alone sucks, and what it really means to build something together  — The no-a*****e policy and why Elevate Collection and Justin are cut from the same cloth "Winning alone sucks. We all gotta win together." That's the whole game. And Justin Eldridge is playing it right. This is what the Elevate Collection Podcast was built for — real conversations with people who are doing it differently, filmed live from the rooms most people never get access to. 🌐 www.elevatecollection.co 🏌️ Follow Justin: @justineldridge ⛳ Follow Golf With Flavor: @golfwithflavor Support the show Before you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect: 1.
