    The Best of The Art Of Rebounding: Spencer Haywood: From Cotton Fields to the Supreme Court (Part 2)

    In this powerful conclusion to his two-part interview, Spencer Haywood continues his conversation with Harold “Lefty” Williams and opens up about the personal cost and spiritual rebirth that followed his historic Supreme Court victory, Haywood v. NBA — the case that changed basketball forever. Spencer reflects on how breaking the NBA’s four-year rule allowed future stars like Moses Malone, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James to enter the league as high schoolers, but also how that decision led to backlash, isolation, and deep emotional struggle. He speaks honestly about the pressures of fame, public criticism, addiction, and identity — and how faith ultimately brought him back from his lowest moments. Spencer shares intimate reflections on love, fatherhood, forgiveness, and purpose, including heartfelt stories about his daughter Zulekha and his former wife Iman. Lefty and Spencer explore what it means to truly rebound — not on the court, but in life. The conversation is raw, wise, and deeply human — reminding listeners that greatness is not defined by what you achieve, but by what you overcome.

    Corey Cofield: The Climb Is the Whole Point

    Corey Cofield dives into the mindset shift that transformed his life — realizing that fulfillment doesn’t come from reaching the “top,” but from embracing the work required to get there. He explains how many people abandon their passions in exchange for survival, which leads to stress, burnout, and disconnection. For Corey, everything changed when he identified his true passion: helping others discover theirs. That clarity became the foundation for his work as a speaker, creator, and mentor. The conversation also highlights the importance of accountability, self-awareness, and learning from every experience instead of labeling it as a loss.

    Turn No into Your Next Yes: Randy Bonds & Jonathan Singletary

    In this episode of The Art of Rebounding, host Harold "Lefty" Williams sits down with PR powerhouse Randy Bonds and inspirational artist Jonathan Singletary for a powerful conversation about rejection, purpose, and what it means to keep answering the call—even when no one is watching. Randy shares how he built a referral-only PR career without a website, a job posting, or a single cold pitch. He relied solely on a gift that consistently presented itself, and he consistently met it. John opens up about the torn ACL that derailed his senior basketball season, pushed him into depression, and ultimately redirected him toward music, ministry, and the creation of Piano and Prayer—a weekly Instagram Live gathering that gives people space to breathe, grieve, and be still together. Together they explore what it looks like to see your vision before the resources arrive, why rejection is often God's redirection, and how grief can become the unexpected fuel for breakthrough. This conversation is a reminder that rebounding isn't always loud—it's often quiet, consistent, and rooted in knowing what you were called to do.
