Interview with Stephen Julien Semi Pro Women's Team Owner and Urban Not Average Board Member, Benefits of Praying and Waiting on God, and How to Encourage Yourself with Positive Confessions

My guest interviewee Stephen Julien was born in Trinidad and Tobago, and he came to Boston, MA at the age of 6. As he grew older, basketball became a great outlet for him to stay out of trouble. At the age of 19, he was offered the opportunity to coach his high school CYO team, where they went on to win the cities. Even since then, he fell in love with coaching basketball. 10 years later, while also coaching in all the women’s tournaments, he started up a semi-pro women’s program called The Boston Bombers out of the WBCBL. He took a try at the ABA men’s division and continued a successful program. In 2021, he has embarked on a team in the WABA called The New England TrailBlazers, which he plans on hiring at least 80% women on his staff to give them the opportunity to one day own their own team or get other job opportunities on the college or NBA level. His Women's Team IG page: @newenglandtrailblazers On Quiet Time with God segment, I talk about the benefits of praying and waiting on God.
