Get ready for an exclusive peek into the world of Danielle Cantor, one of the very few women agents in the NBA. Calling Danielle "just" an NBA agent, just doesn't do her justice. From teaching negotiation at Law School to mentoring young women in sports, she's all about making an impact far beyond the basketball court.
What makes this episode truly special? Well, Danielle prefers to stay behind the scenes, getting shit done without seeking the spotlight. She has only granted one interview with The Washington Post, turning down major media platforms like ESPN and Sports Illustrated over the years.
But today, she's here to share her story with the She GOAT community and inspire all of us!
With over 20 years of experience her career and influence extends far beyond the confines of the NBA: from teaching negotiations at Law School, to advising the National Women's Soccer League Player Association, and mentoring a network of young women in sports, Danielle's impact is undeniable. Join us as we dive deep into Danielle Cantor's story, where she opens up about:
- Her journey, how she became an NBA player's agent and what is like to thrive in a male-dominated industry (spoiler: she didn't realize she was one of the very few female agents in the NBA until a Washington Post reporter phoned her for an interview and brought it to her attention)
- "Confidence comes from repeated exposure" - Danielle's insights on confidence, impostor syndrome, and how to master the art of negotiation.
- "My passion is helping others unlocking their potential" - What are Danielle's aspirations for the future? From her ambition to join an ownership group and make a significant impact to her unwavering commitment to paving the way for the next generation (Aaaaaaand guess what? She's also coaching youth soccer! Isn't that incredibly inspiring?)
Whether you're a sports fan, an aspiring agent, or simply in need of some inspiration, you're in for a treat. Welcome to She GOAT!
