Old Man Strength: EP 7.6 Brent Blum Inside the We Will Collective, NIL Wars, Massive Fundraising Stress & What's Next

Brent Blum returns to Old Man Strength for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about his time leading the We Will Collective at Iowa State. He shares never-before-told stories from the chaotic NIL portal battles — including raising millions on tight deadlines, late-night DocuSign sessions from the Dominican Republic, and the insane stress of keeping top Cyclones like Joshua Jefferson, Tamin Lipsey, and Milan Momchilovic in Ames.Brent opens up about the personal toll it took on him and his wife Krystal, the incredible relationships built along the way, the good (and messy) side of college athletics, player loyalty vs. big-money offers, and why he ultimately stepped away. He also talks about his new chapter with Farm Bureau and the lasting impact of "Cyclones helping Cyclones."Raw, honest, and full of insight — don't miss this one from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios.Sponsors:Revelton Distilling CompanyWe Will PizzaIowa Beef SteakhouseStyled by JJ BoutiqueJenny Farrell - RE/MAX ConceptsKyle Lehman at Wintrust MortgageLIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios.
