In this episode of The Art of Rebounding, Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with actor Richard Whiten for a conversation about work ethic, purpose, persistence, and figuring out what you really want out of life.

Richard reflects on his long career in Los Angeles and the importance of being willing to do the work, stay patient, and keep moving forward even when the next opportunity doesn't come immediately. He shares why he doesn't necessarily focus on one specific type of acting—his philosophy is simple: he prefers to work.

The conversation goes beyond acting and entertainment. Richard and Lefty talk about finding your own path, understanding your "why," and recognizing that success doesn't always happen on your timeline. Sometimes you have to hit a wall, reassess, and pivot instead of giving up.

A major theme throughout the episode is the importance of identifying what you actually want and then committing to it. Lefty emphasizes that nobody else can bring your purpose into the world for you—you have to pursue it yourself. And when rejection or setbacks happen, the answer isn't necessarily to stop. Sometimes it's simply time to find another route forward.

Richard's story is a reminder that the work you put in today may not pay off immediately—but that doesn't mean it isn't building toward something. As Lefty says throughout the conversation, good work creates more work.

In This Episode:

• Richard Whiten's long career in Los Angeles
• The importance of consistently doing the work
• Figuring out what you actually want in life
• Staying committed when opportunities take time
• Dealing with rejection and setbacks
• Knowing when to pivot
• Finding your purpose and remembering your "why"
• Creating your own path instead of following what's popular
• Why preparation matters when opportunity arrives

In this special solo episode of The Art of Rebounding, Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with his son CJ Williams for a conversation about acting, basketball, perseverance, and what it takes to turn years of hard work into real opportunities.

CJ has been in front of the camera since he was just two years old, building an impressive résumé that includes national commercials, appearances on Steve Harvey, Night Court, The Wonder Years, Abbott Elementary, Disney+ projects, and more. Now, he's taking another major step in his career with his first box-office movie.

CJ talks about what it feels like to see years of auditions, commercials, print work, and waiting finally lead to a major opportunity on the big screen. He also opens up about the challenge of balancing acting with basketball and real life, emphasizing that young people need to make sure they're genuinely committed to the path they want to pursue.

The conversation goes beyond acting. CJ and Lefty discuss work ethic, patience, preparation, creating opportunities, and the importance of starting small. CJ explains why aspiring actors shouldn't immediately focus on landing the biggest roles—they should start wherever they can, whether that's commercials, school plays, or smaller projects, and use those experiences to determine whether the industry is truly for them.

It's a special father-and-son conversation about what happens when persistence meets opportunity—and a reminder that sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes after years of simply continuing to show up.

In This Episode:

• CJ's journey into acting from a very young age
• Going from commercials and television to the big screen
• His first box-office movie
• Working on projects including Night Court, The Wonder Years, and Abbott Elementary
• Balancing acting and basketball
• The importance of starting small
• Knowing whether acting is truly the right career for you
• Why persistence and patience matter
• Turning one opportunity into the next

In this heartfelt episode of The Art of Rebounding, Harold "Lefty" Williams sits down with former Harlem Globetrotter Otis Key for one of the most honest conversations of the series.

Known for bringing smiles to millions of fans around the world, Otis reveals the unseen reality behind life as a Globetrotter. While entertaining packed arenas and visiting children's hospitals, he was quietly carrying unimaginable grief after losing both of his sisters while on tour in Mexico. Instead of having time to process the loss, he immediately stepped into the role of helping his family before returning to the road just days later.

Otis reflects on what it means to keep moving forward through heartbreak, the role faith played in carrying him through difficult seasons, and why grief is something you learn to live with—not simply get over.

The conversation also celebrates the incredible legacy of the Harlem Globetrotters, from representing the organization around the world to eventually watching his own son earn a spot on the team, becoming part of one of the few father-son legacies in Globetrotter history.

This episode is a powerful reminder that everyone has battles no one else can see—and that true strength is found in continuing to show up with purpose, even during life's hardest moments.
