31. Jay Allen: You can be anything you want, so why not be colossal?
from Johnson City Living · host Colin Johnson
Today's guest is Jay Allen. I’ll let Jay tell you about his background, but I’ll share this with you: Jay was born into basketball royalty as the son of local hoops legend Shane Williams and worked his way into some pretty unbelievable opportunities. In high school, he transferred to the prestigious Christ School in Arden, North Carolina which at one point won five consecutive and which has sent 23 players to Division One schools in recent years (including Jay) and has several players in the NBA. After graduating from Wofford in 2017, Jay began plotting out his next move and has since started Colossal Brand, which creates original apparel and accessories. But Jay says the message of Colossal Brand is just as important as the merchandise. I’ll let you hear it in his own words.
