Podcasts about dibia athletic development

This episode features a man who gives Trick Daddy a run for his money; not just for his immense genuine love for "da kids", but his growing collection of gold grills. Had such a fun time chatting with my friend, Brandon Okpalobi, CEO of Dibia Athletic Development and the founder of Dibia DREAM (Development through Recreational Education for Athletic Minds). A Seventh Ward, New Orleans, LA native, Brandon graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in Computer Information Systems and minor in Marketing, after walking on the Division 1 basketball team and earning a scholarship and position of Team Captain his senior year. Though he has worked for major corporations including the Orange Bowl Committee, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and The Miami Heat, Brandon always had his heart set in serving and changing his community through investment in our future -- our children. Tune in as we discuss the importance of staying true to thine own self, what inspired him to take the leap of faith to start his own business, keeping a level head to navigate through temporary set backs, the interesting dynamic of social media (and thirst trapping), the significance of strong faith in his success, his Nigerian culture and pride, upcoming projects in the pipeline (hint: there's an Academy in the works!), and much more! Whether you know him as B Dot, Young Jefe, or simply Brandon, this one is sure to be an entertaining and enlightening treat.

Brandon Okpalobi is a disruptor. My good friend is hellbent on putting his stamp on the community. His foundation Dibia Dream is really making a difference in the city of Miami. Whether it's educating kids in inner city schools with his "STEM Saturdays" program or donating cars to single moms, his presence is being felt in Miami. His basketball roots that began in New Orleans at St. Augustine High School and continued at University of Miami, are also serving the community well. B Dot's career started as a walk-on for the University of Miami basketball team and ended with B Dot as a scholarship athlete getting minutes for The U. Jefe Dibia is coaching and runs Dibia Athletic Development in Miami, New Orleans and Bermuda. I swear Nigerian's are taking over the world. Please enjoy my conversation with the man who never met a nickname he didn't like.
