Episode 4: The Right Move, Not the Hype Move, ft. Kerry Blackshear
Episode Notes
Kerry is currently playing overseas in Japan for the Hiroshima Dragonflies. Entering his 3rd season as a professional, he initially made a name for himself on the college level, as he was widely noted as one of the best players in the country during his 3 seasons at Virginia Tech and 1 at the University of Florida. He is one of a few players in the history of college basketball to earn all-conference honors in both the ACC and the SEC. Each off-season since his name first skyrocketed into 1st team All-American and 2nd round NBA draft pick projections towards his later years in college, he has continually made decisions that were against popular opinion, but put him into positions to continue his success.
Key Topic:
Setting the media and brand names aside, and leaning on personal priorities, a solid and real circle of people, and an open mindset when making decisions on the next step in your career.
