#SPEAKYOURTRUTH! Podcast (#SYT!)

Liam and I met while I was at work and we had the opportunity to share stories of our experiences with basketball and the military. Once Liam brought up mental health, (and not to mention the good vibes 😊) I knew I had to have him on the show! Take a listen to this NEW episode of SPEAK YOUR TRUTH to learn more about Liam's experiences with mental health and the military!

Jamaal May is one savvy dude! Smart, go-getter, business-man. He tells his story of going from college student-athlete to Brand Manager for some the same athletes he played with.

So, I was going to edit this episode, but 1.) It's too funny to cut/leave anything out and 2.) I want listeners to experience the joy and power of true friendship. Anma and I met 4-5 years ago at the airport in Madrid, instantly connected, didn't exchange anyyy sort of contact info when it was time to go, yet still found each other. It's been a match made in Heaven ever since
