NBA Hoops, Hope, and The Rebranding of Africa, with Jared Harrington

This week on Finding Certainty, headliner host Patrick Laing visits with Jared Harrington, a professional basketball player with the NBA Africa League, known as the B.A.L. (Basketball Africa League). Patrick and Jared discuss his impressive resume of achievements as a 25-year-old entrepreneur, philanthropist, and NBA athlete. They continue the conversation started last week with Lloyd Ward of Ward Holdings, Inc., on the growing development and emergence of Africa as a financial leader internationally, and discuss Jared’s role as a celebrity business development sponsor with WHI. With over 60% of the arable land in the world, Africa may well be the worldwide leader in sustainable food production in the decades to come. It is much more than just an agricultural continent though. A dynamic collection of cultures, diversity, adventure, sports, cutting-edge technology, design, music, entrepreneurship, and more, Jared is well-suited to comment on the present reality and future potentiality of Africa and its relationship with the U.S.A. and the rest of the world. He discusses the “rebranding” of Africa, his NBA career thus far, as well his dual intercontinental company, Beat the Odds Ventures, and also his nonprofit foundation, Beat the Odds Global, which has its footprint in both Africa as well as the United States. They also discuss the upcoming conference Jared is spearheading this next week in Washington DC and why it may just be one of the hottest tickets in town.
