Courtside Moms Media Through the Wealth Lens

Hannes and Max are joined by two women who have dedicated their entire lives to their children: Daynia La-Force and Wendy Sparks. Both mothers of players in the NBA, Daynia and Wendy have used their experience in the professional sports world to found Courtside Moms Media, an organization created to assist the mothers, fathers, and families of professional basketball players navigate the many challenges these young pros coming into significant wealth face. Throughout the conversation, we discuss how CMM supports this community via educational panels, sharing the stories of different mothers via personal interviews, and the connections they’ve created along their own journeys. We also discuss how they’ve helped both of their sons give back to their communities, giving other aspiring young athletes the chance to leave their own mark on the world.
