In this inspiring episode of The Art of Rebounding, Harold “Lefty” Williams welcomes Jesse Ough — play-by-play broadcaster for the ACC, Big 12, and ASUN Conferences, and host of Basketball Past, Present, and Future on Gray TV Sports and NBA TV Canada.

Jesse shares his incredible journey from his college radio station at UC Berkeley to calling international games in Italy, all while navigating years of rejection, uncertainty, and relentless hustle. He opens up about learning to embrace the word “no,” taking unpaid opportunities, and the moment when everything finally turned around — proving that success comes to those who stay woefully persistent.

Now reaching over five million homes each month, Jesse reflects on perseverance, faith, and the mindset that helped him turn setbacks into setups. Whether you’re chasing a dream, building a career, or waiting for your breakthrough, this conversation reminds you that the rebound is already in motion.
