    From College Athlete to Global COO | Leadership, Family & Business w/ Derek Grundy.

    Today on Talk2Em Jay, I sit down with my former college teammate and longtime friend Derek Grundy for a powerful conversation about leadership, family, and life after sports. Derek is the Chief Operating Officer at HuaLi Industrial Group (Nike Division), currently based in China, where he leads global operations and partnerships at the executive level. Beyond the title, he’s a husband, a father of two hoopers, and a leader who believes relationships are the foundation of long-term success. In this episode, we talk about: Transitioning from college athletics to global business Leading across cultures and time zones Balancing career, family, and purpose Lessons sports teach that translate to the boardroom What legacy really means beyond money and titles This conversation is for athletes, entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone thinking about what’s next. 🎙️ CONNECT WITH US Host: James LeVeque (Talk2Em Jay) 📸 Instagram: @Talk2EmJay 🎵 TikTok: @Talk2Em Guest: Derek Grundy 📸 Instagram: @dgrundy20 ❤️ SUPPORT THE SHOW If this episode added value and you’d like to support Talk2Em, donations are appreciated: 💵 Cash App: $Jaymes1111 Your support helps us continue bringing real conversations with real people making real impact. 🔔 DON’T FORGET Like 👍 | Comment 💬 | Subscribe 🔔 | Share 📲 Let us know what part of the conversation resonated most with you. #Talk2Emjay #DerekGrundy #LifeAfterSports #AthletetoExecutive #BusinessLeadershipPodcast #GlobalBusinessLeadership #LeadershipMindset #FormerAthleteSuccess #NikeSupplyChain #COOInterview
