In this episode of The Art of Rebounding, Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with Steve Brandes, President of the Wisconsin Herd and two-time NBA G League Executive of the Year. Steve shares his journey from humble beginnings in basketball operations to leading one of the league’s most respected franchises.

They talk about the importance of positioning, perseverance, and people — how leadership isn’t just about winning games, but about developing players, staff, and culture that leave a lasting impact. Steve opens up about his vision for the Herd, the power of diversity and inclusion through their award-winning Black History Month promotions, and the deeper purpose behind everything he builds.

This conversation is filled with wisdom on leadership, mentorship, and the mindset it takes to turn obstacles into opportunities — both in business and in life. Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or dreamer trying to rebound from setbacks, Steve’s story will inspire you to keep pushing with purpose.
