Selflessness, Mentorship, and Collaboration w/ Dahani Jones

About the Episode🎧 [https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f3a7.png] Dhani Jones is an accomplished former NFL linebacker, multipreneur, venture capitalist, media personality, and philanthropist among other things—the list goes on and on. He is currently serving as an ambassador for Stand Together and Café Momentum. With the support of the Stand Together Foundation, Café Momentum offers a 12-month internship program aimed at uplifting justice-involved youth. In this episode, Dhani touches on his desire to pour into something greater than himself and attributes his intrinsic benevolence to his career as a middle linebacker. He also speaks to the power of collaboration for young NFL players interested in giving back, but not necessarily starting their own foundation. Additionally, he gives thoughts on the changing landscape of college sports with the advent of NIL and the value of finding a coach in every stage of your life.
