    From Northeastern Basketball to Building Pave: Jimmy Marshall's Mission to Fix Youth Sports Mentorship

    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.

    Pro Skateboarder Turned Golf Entrepreneur: Justin Eldridge on Building Golf With Flavor

    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 Before you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect: 1.

    How To Grow A Founder-Led Brand With Purpose with Annette Parker

    Send us Fan Mail Opportunity rarely announces itself. It shows up fast and it rewards the people who did the work before anyone was watching. From Hampton’s Tech Week, we sit down with Annette Parker, a Brooklyn-based brand consultant focused on small business growth and founder-led brands, and she brings a message we keep coming back to: research and preparation change everything. Annette breaks down what “do your research” really means when you’re building a brand, finding clients, and trying to grow with intention. We talk about how founders can build a legacy while they’re still in the messy middle of building the business, and why authenticity is not a soft idea but a practical strategy. Annette also shares how her faith in Christ grounds her purpose and shapes the example she wants to set through her work. And yes, we make space for a spicy take: Annette’s hill to die on is that audiobooks aren’t reading. It’s funny, but it also reveals something deeper about having a clear point of view and the confidence to stand by it, which matters more than ever for personal branding and modern marketing. If you’re growing a consulting business, refining your brand strategy, or trying to lead with purpose without losing momentum, you’ll get practical reminders and real encouragement here. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a founder who needs it, and leave a review telling us: what’s the one principle you’ll never compromise on?

    Plates, People & Purpose: A Conversation with Chef Dennis Prescott

    Send us Fan Mail "If you're fortunate enough to eat three meals a day — make them as delicious as possible, and do it with the people you love." That's not just cooking advice. That's a life philosophy. And it's exactly the kind of wisdom that flows when the room is right. What happens when a musician-turned-Netflix chef and the Elevate Collection sit down together at the most exclusive table in the Hamptons? You get this episode. We're coming to you live from Hamptons Tech Week 2026 at Montauk Yacht Club — and for our very first episode, we sat down with Chef Dennis Prescott: Netflix host, cookbook author, content creator with over 800K followers, and one of the most joyful storytellers in the food and culture world. But this wasn't just a podcast interview. Before we hit record, we were invited to an exclusive private dining experience hosted by Bounty Uncharted — the Cannes award-winning Hamptons docuseries created by tech entrepreneur and avid fisherman Jeff Ragovin, where the catch of the day becomes the meal of a lifetime. Fresh-caught seafood, open water, elite company — and Dennis was one of the chefs cooking for us. That energy carried straight into our conversation. What we get into:  — The journey from musician to Netflix host to global culinary brand  — What it really takes to build an audience of 800K+ and keep them engaged  — Why food is really about service — and why that's where the joy lives  — The business of food, influence, and showing up as your most authentic self  — The growing hunger for community that's been building since 2020  — How he's expanding into sports and lifestyle to unlock new brand partnerships  — Why cooking more makes you care more — about your food, your community, your world  — The one meal that still sets the benchmark for him (his mom's pizza — he hasn't found better)  — And what it truly means to cook for connection, not just content As Dennis puts it: "When everyone takes their first bite and it gets a little bit louder — I fell in love with that moment. Food is all about the people gathered around the table." This is what Elevate Collection was built for — curating elite rooms, capturing culture, and bringing you inside moments most people only dream about. 🌐 www.elevatecollection.co 📺 Watch Bounty Uncharted: bountyuncharted.com 👨‍🍳 Follow Dennis: @dennistheprescott Before you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect: 1.

    How The Sevens Football Turns High School Football Into A National Showcase with Mick Hamilton

    Send us Fan Mail You can learn a lot about modern sports by watching what happens before college. Mick Hamilton has lived it from multiple angles: college football recruiting, the first wave of NIL deals, and now the co-founding of The Sevens Football, an invite-only 7-on-7 tournament in Atlanta built to spotlight the top high school athletes in the country. We talk with Mick about why football players are often tougher to market than basketball players, and how intentional athlete branding can change what opportunities look like long before signing day.  We break down what seven-on-seven football actually is, why it’s become the spring battleground for elite skill-position talent, and how The Sevens creates a true showcase environment with media, energy, and a fan experience that feels more like a big-time event than a typical youth sports weekend. Mick shares the strategy behind keeping the tournament selective, donating $20,000 to winning programs, and building sponsor value through both ticket sales and massive organic reach, including a landmark MaxPreps partnership and millions of video views.  The conversation goes deeper than highlights and stats. Mick gets honest about the startup reality, the pressure of looking bigger than you are, and the lessons that come from negotiating vendors, earning trust, and refusing to quit when things get messy. We also look ahead to the future: girls flag football, boys flag football, and why the road to the 2028 Olympics could make women’s flag football one of the smartest bets in youth sports right now.  If you care about high school football exposure, NIL, sports marketing, or building a modern sports business, listen through and tell us what part of Mick’s story hit home.

    Your Waiting Season Can Prepare You For Purpose with Aspen Kennedy

    Send us Fan Mail A role can open doors, but a single “no” can protect your future. We’re joined by actor Aspen Kennedy for a candid conversation about faith, purpose, and the real-life decisions that shape a creative career when the timeline feels uncertain. Aspen shares how he found acting almost by accident, why mentorship matters, and what it meant to come full circle in the industry through projects like Queen Sugar. We also dig into the deeper stuff: influence, humility, and why storytelling is not just entertainment when you’re trying to leave a legacy. Aspen talks about The Forge and the unexpected reach it had across countries and cultures, plus the responsibility that comes with being “graced” to do work that touches people. If you care about values-driven work, Christian faith in Hollywood, and using a platform to edify others, this conversation stays practical without getting performative. One of the most moving parts is Aspen’s personal testimony around forgiveness and obedience in private, and how God used that heart work to prepare him for a bigger assignment on screen. We also unpack scarcity mindset and career boundaries, including how to turn down opportunities that don’t align with your vision, even when you need the money or momentum. Listen, share this with a friend who’s in a waiting season, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next. If our conversations help you, leave a review and tell us what part hit home.

    One Size Fits None: A Global Take on Sports Social Media with Arabella Hibbert-Corkhill

    Send us Fan Mail Gen Z doesn’t fall in love with teams the way older generations did and that’s not a problem, it’s a strategy clue. We’re joined by Arabella Hibbert-Corkhill, a social media strategist whose career spans London, New York, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and now Washington, DC. That global perspective turns a familiar topic like “fan engagement” into something sharper: culture moves faster than campaigns, and the only way to keep up is to listen harder than you post. We talk about how China’s internet ecosystem shaped Arabella’s love of social, from the reality of Western platform blocks to the innovation of WeChat and Weibo. If you work in digital marketing, brand strategy, or community building, you’ll hear why platform design and cultural norms change everything, and why “one size fits all” social media strategy is usually a quiet failure. From there, we get into modern sports marketing and the question every team asks: how do we reach Gen Z? Arabella breaks down passion points beyond the game itself, including fashion, music, food, and creators, plus why collaborations like Nike and Skims can work when audiences truly overlap. We also dig into cultural sensitivity, why some launches backfire, and how loud comment sections can be both a warning and a superpower. Finally, we unpack NIL and personal branding for athletes, the rise of IRL community, and Arabella’s strongest stance: meet the audience where they are and give creators room to tell your story. If you want smarter social listening, she explains why Reddit belongs in your toolkit. Subscribe, share this with a friend building a brand, and leave a review.

    Power In Privacy: How Pro Athlete Mortgage Lender, David Cline, Builds Trust and Closes Quietly

    Send us Fan Mail The loudest flex in sports business might be how quietly the best deals get done. We’re joined by our friend David Cline, a pro athlete mortgage lender who’s built a reputation on discretion, speed, and doing the right thing when nobody’s watching. If you’ve ever wondered how high-profile clients choose who to trust, this conversation breaks down the real signals: privacy-first behavior, disciplined execution, and a team that can handle complexity without drama.  We get into why David prefers curated “socials” over traditional networking, how controlling the guest list changes the quality of relationships, and what “ROI” looks like when you can’t post names, photos, or closings. He shares stories from the field, including how a small detail inside an LLC can accidentally make a purchase public, and why respecting boundaries (no autographs, no clout chasing) is part of elite service in athlete mortgages and luxury real estate.  Then we go tactical on underwriting: signing bonuses, guaranteed money, incentives, short career windows, credit challenges, trades, practice-squad movement, and why reading a contract is a core mortgage skill. We also talk NIL athletes earning serious income at 18 or 19, how predatory rates and “friends” can do real damage, and what it takes to build a personal board of directors early enough to change someone’s future.  If this helped you think differently about privacy, credit, and building the right team, subscribe, share it with someone who works with athletes or high earners, and leave us a review. What’s the biggest money mistake you see young athletes make? Connect with David on Instagram @proathletemortgage  Before you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect: 1.
