Jonte Flowers was a walk-on for the Wisconsin Badgers' football team, but ultimately decided to follow his passion for basketball, leading him to Winona State University. During his four years, he was the NCAA Div II leader in steals, 1st All-American, 2X NCAA D II National Champion, and was a captain on the Winona State Men's basketball team. He then talks about his passion driving him to play overseas for 11 years, and then jumping into a new endeavor in Real Estate. In each chapter in his life, Jonte had smaller goals that led to his ultimate success. From winning 57 straight games in college to learning a new career in real estate, it was his passion of motivating himself to take his life to a new level.

Uw-Milwaukee Athletic Director Amanda Braun and Deputy Athletic Director Cathy Rossi joins me for a warm conversation on the path it took to get to the highest level of college athletics. They each had separate paths: One was a college student drop out from law school and the other one built their career step by step. Together, they formed a team that promotes academic excellence, diversity within their department, and six core values. These include: Education, Excellence, Leadership, Integrity, Pride, and Respect. Whether you're interested in learning how to become an athletic director, in a career where you want to literally drop out of that path, or want to hear how to foster a welcoming culture to an organization, this one's for you!
