March 15, 2023: Erik Qualman was a manager on MSU's basketball team in 1990 but ended his career on the team with a jersey. He played with Steve Smith and Shawn Respert and was involved in the NCAA tournament as both a manager and teammate. He tells us what it's like as a player on the team and what it was like with Jud Heathcote and Tom Izzo running the show in the Breslin Center.

Qualman is best known as a 5 time best selling author and professional public speaker who has presented all over the world. His books have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, on 60 Minutes, and has been used in Universities and even NASA. A sitting professor at Northwestern University, he will be giving the commencement speech at MSU this May. He has been focusing a portion of his time recently to promote supporting MSU students by the Give Green Day Fund.

You can find him on LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.
