The Elevate Collection Podcast

Send us Fan MailWhen you're used to being good at what you do, being a beginner can feel incredibly uncomfortable.Golf has a way of forcing you to get comfortable with exactly that.Jordan and Alex sit down with Anya Alvarez and Ellen Ceresko of DriveHer Network for a conversation that starts with golf but quickly becomes something much bigger: perfectionism, identity, resilience, business, community and learning to give yourself permission to not have everything figured out.Anya and Ellen share their experiences competing at an elite level, where every shot could mean making money, paying for the next tournament, getting recruited or letting down a team. Today, both have developed a very different relationship with the game.Because golf is something you can never perfect.You can practice every day and still make a bad swing. You can make the wrong decision. You can have a bad round.What matters is how quickly you adjust and what you do next.They also break down what new golfers actually need to know, how quickly women can become comfortable on the course, why beginners should get out and play sooner than they think, and why community can make entering a traditionally male-dominated sport feel a whole lot less intimidating.Plus, we get into building DriveHer Network, choosing the right business partners, operating from shared core values, and their mission to help more women say yes, show up and bring another woman with them.This one is about golf.But it's also about being willing to be a beginner again.Where Influence Meets Legacy™Follow DriveHer Network on IG at @driverher.networkwww.createcultivate.comELEVATECC20 for 20% OFFSupport the showBefore you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect:1.

Send us Fan MailA to do list can feel like a private battle, especially when you’re juggling business, family, and the invisible work of life maintenance. We wanted to change that, so we tried something new: Admin Social Club, a low pressure meetup where we sit together in a beautiful local space, order great coffee, and finally handle the tasks we keep avoiding. No hustle vibe, no forced networking, just real people showing up and getting things done.We talk about why this works so well for us as neurodivergent founders with professionally diagnosed ADHD, and how body doubling makes the “mundane but necessary” feel achievable. You’ll hear a real example of what this looks like, from scheduling a long delayed mammogram to knocking out small admin that has been endlessly movable on the list. The surprising part is what happens around the work: natural conversations, quick moments of support, and the kind of connection that builds community without trying to manufacture it.We also share what we learned from hosting in partnership with a local business, why we care so much about creating more third places, and where we think Admin Social Club could go next, from monthly meetups to bigger life maintenance resets that support mind, body, and business.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it actually take to build a consumer brand people don't just buy, but want to be part of?This week, Jordan and Alex sit down at Goodwipes HQ with co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer Sam Nebel to talk about the unlikely journey from becoming the “baby wipe dealers” of their college campus to building a national consumer brand.Sam gets into the 8-to-10-year validation cycle behind Goodwipes, why founders can't build consumer brands from behind a laptop, and how staying close to your customer can create the kind of loyalty normally reserved for sports teams.They also unpack the strategy behind Goodwipes' collaborations with brands like OLIPOP and Liquid Death, why the best partnerships go far beyond putting two logos together, and the founder lessons Sam wishes more entrepreneurs understood about operations, finance, content and playing the long game.Plus, Sam opens up about navigating a long-term co-founder relationship, protecting his time and energy differently as the company grows, and rediscovering who he is outside of the business.It's business, branding, butts and a surprisingly good amount of life advice.Where Influence Meets Legacy™www.createcultivate.comELEVATECC20 for 20% OFFSupport the showBefore you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect:1.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it look like to win at life when the world is grading you on a scoreboard? Live from Hamptons Tech Week at the Montauk Yacht Club, we sit down with NBA forward Grant Williams for a straight talk conversation about influence, community, and the kind of legacy that outlasts any season.Grant shares how he thinks about impact beyond basketball, including the work he leads through the Grant Williams Family Foundation. We dig into mentorship and literacy programs in North Carolina, why partnerships like the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library matter, and how computer literacy initiatives can help close the access gap for communities that have been left behind. If you care about athlete philanthropy, nonprofit collaboration, or simply doing more with the platform you have, this conversation gives you a clear, grounded blueprint.Then it gets fun and surprisingly insightful: Grant opens up about getting into Pilates and realizing it can humble even a pro who is used to moving heavy weight. We talk about embracing weakness, finding challenges that make you more well rounded, and why strength training paired with mobility work can be a game changer for performance and health. Grant also leaves advice for young athletes who feel defined by one role, reminding them their value is bigger than the sport they play.If this resonated, subscribe for more interviews on leadership and impact, share this episode with a friend who’s building their own legacy, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Support the showBefore you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect:1.

Send us Fan MailA billion views a month sounds like magic until you hear the routine behind it. We’re live at Hampton Tech Week with Austin Sprinz, a creator who’s spent 10 years building an audience that now totals around 50 million followers across platforms, and he’s refreshingly honest about what it took to get there: years of posting with little payoff, tiny improvements every day, and a mindset that refuses to quit when the numbers don’t move.We also go deeper than content. Austin walks us through the leap from influencer to founder with two passion projects he’s going all-in on. One is Memento, a screenless digital camera that feels like a disposable, keeps you present while you shoot, and delivers retro, vintage-style photos when you upload later. The other is Pulse Drones, a drone show company that can “draw” art in the sky for festivals and events, turning creativity into a shareable real-world moment people can’t look away from.Then we get practical: how he finds fresh ideas (quiet mornings, meditation, breathwork, and avoiding early phone stimulation), what “consistency is king” actually looks like over multiple years, and how a big enough why becomes the North Star that keeps you moving. We close with hot takes, including the belief that there is no failure, only feedback.If you like creator strategy, TikTok growth, social media marketing, and building businesses from a personal brand, hit play.

Send us Fan MailA lot of people assume the biggest challenge for a pro athlete is making a roster. We’ve learned the quieter challenge is what happens next: building a life where your money, relationships, and identity don’t get managed by strangers you barely know. From a yacht at the Montauk Yacht Club, we talk with former NFL cornerback Levi Wallace about the real off-field game and why trust is the most important line in any contract.Levi shares his story from being a two-time national champion at the University of Alabama to spending eight years in the NFL, then transitioning into a new role as a sports agent with Legacy Trust Sports Group. He explains why he didn’t choose coaching, what he heard in locker rooms about agents and agencies, and why too many players only hear from their representation when it’s time to sign or when they’re hurt. We dig into financial literacy, advisor selection, and the “referral pipeline” that can turn into a predatory system if nobody is willing to be transparent.We also get into Levi’s community work through the Levi Wallace Foundation in Arizona, including taking high school students suit shopping to build confidence and open doors for graduation, college, job interviews, and life. Finally, Levi drops clear advice for the NIL era: don’t chase the biggest bag if it costs development, stability, or even school credits that don’t transfer. If your goal is the NFL, choose the place that helps you grow on and off the field.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share this with an athlete or parent navigating NIL and recruiting, and leave a review with the biggest lesson you’re taking from Levi’s approach.Support the showBefore you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect:1.

It made international news. ABC had a helicopter circling. Uber sent a onesie.And then he went back to being one of California's most sought-after real estate attorneys.We sat down with Niv Davidovich on the Elevate Collection Podcast — landlord-tenant litigator, real estate law expert, and one of the most direct, no-nonsense voices on what's actually happening inside California's housing crisis. Niv connects with over 4,000 real estate professionals on LinkedIn — and he's earned it, because he talks like a person, not a credential.This episode is equal parts wild storytelling and real estate education that every athlete, investor, agent, and property owner needs to hear.In this episode we get into:— The full story of delivering his son in an Uber outside a Whole Foods on the Sabbath (yes, really) — Why Uber PR was all over it — and what he actually got in return ($250 in credits and a onesie) — How athletes and entertainers should be structuring LLCs and trusts to protect their real estate privacy — Why owning property in California is no longer a side hustle — it's NFL playoffs with your team losing — The landlord vs. tenant war playing out in LA, NYC, Seattle, and DC right now — Squatters, fake leases written on ChatGPT, and why the police can't help you — The machete story (yes, there's a machete story) — How a city councilman changed an eviction law mid-case — and why Niv has the recording to prove it — Why California says it wants affordable housing and then makes it nearly impossible to build — What he'd change if he could tear the whole system down and rebuild it from scratch — His family's journey from the USSR — and why he's fighting to make sure those ideas don't come back — Why you should call a real estate attorney before you buy, not after"Owning property in Los Angeles right now is like being in the NFL during playoffs with your team not doing so well.

Send us Fan MailThe recruiting journey can feel like a maze built out of opinions, pressure, and expensive “helpers” who may not have your best interests at heart. From Hamptons Tech Week at the Montauk Yacht Club, we sit down with Jimmy Marshall, founder of PAVE, to talk about the one advantage that changes everything for a young athlete: real access to someone who has already done what you’re trying to do.Jimmy draws from his own path as a former Division I basketball player at Northeastern University and explains how early exposure to high-level athletes forced him to take his craft seriously. Now, with NIL reshaping college sports and the rules changing constantly, he sees families struggling to find trustworthy, verified experience. That gap creates risk for athletes and parents alike: wasted time, wasted money, and decisions made without clear feedback from people who have actually navigated the process.We get into how PAVE works, why Jimmy describes it as “Airbnb and Cameo for sports,” and what mentorship looks like when it’s practical, direct, and paid for transparently. He also shares his sharpest guidance for recruits: the best advice is often what not to do, because avoiding the wrong paths can be more valuable than copying someone else’s playbook. If you care about youth sports, college recruiting, NIL, athlete mentorship, and protecting families from a predatory marketplace, this conversation will give you a clearer lens and a real next step.Subscribe for more founder stories at the intersection of sports and tech, share this with a parent or athlete who needs it, and leave a review if you want more conversations like this.Support the showBefore you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect:1.

Send us Fan MailOpportunity rarely announces itself. It shows up fast and it rewards the people who did the work before anyone was watching. From Hampton’s Tech Week, we sit down with Annette Parker, a Brooklyn-based brand consultant focused on small business growth and founder-led brands, and she brings a message we keep coming back to: research and preparation change everything.Annette breaks down what “do your research” really means when you’re building a brand, finding clients, and trying to grow with intention. We talk about how founders can build a legacy while they’re still in the messy middle of building the business, and why authenticity is not a soft idea but a practical strategy. Annette also shares how her faith in Christ grounds her purpose and shapes the example she wants to set through her work.And yes, we make space for a spicy take: Annette’s hill to die on is that audiobooks aren’t reading. It’s funny, but it also reveals something deeper about having a clear point of view and the confidence to stand by it, which matters more than ever for personal branding and modern marketing.If you’re growing a consulting business, refining your brand strategy, or trying to lead with purpose without losing momentum, you’ll get practical reminders and real encouragement here.

That's a life philosophy. And it's exactly the kind of wisdom that flows when the room is right.What happens when a musician-turned-Netflix chef and the Elevate Collection sit down together at the most exclusive table in the Hamptons? You get this episode.We're coming to you live from Hamptons Tech Week 2026 at Montauk Yacht Club — and for our very first episode, we sat down with Chef Dennis Prescott: Netflix host, cookbook author, content creator with over 800K followers, and one of the most joyful storytellers in the food and culture world.But this wasn't just a podcast interview. Before we hit record, we were invited to an exclusive private dining experience hosted by Bounty Uncharted — the Cannes award-winning Hamptons docuseries created by tech entrepreneur and avid fisherman Jeff Ragovin, where the catch of the day becomes the meal of a lifetime. Fresh-caught seafood, open water, elite company — and Dennis was one of the chefs cooking for us. That energy carried straight into our conversation.What we get into: — The journey from musician to Netflix host to global culinary brand — What it really takes to build an audience of 800K+ and keep them engaged — Why food is really about service — and why that's where the joy lives — The business of food, influence, and showing up as your most authentic self — The growing hunger for community that's been building since 2020 — How he's expanding into sports and lifestyle to unlock new brand partnerships — Why cooking more makes you care more — about your food, your community, your world — The one meal that still sets the benchmark for him (his mom's pizza — he hasn't found better) — And what it truly means to cook for connection, not just contentAs Dennis puts it: "When everyone takes their first bite and it gets a little bit louder — I fell in love with that moment.

Send us Fan MailYou can learn a lot about modern sports by watching what happens before college. Mick Hamilton has lived it from multiple angles: college football recruiting, the first wave of NIL deals, and now the co-founding of The Sevens Football, an invite-only 7-on-7 tournament in Atlanta built to spotlight the top high school athletes in the country. We talk with Mick about why football players are often tougher to market than basketball players, and how intentional athlete branding can change what opportunities look like long before signing day. We break down what seven-on-seven football actually is, why it’s become the spring battleground for elite skill-position talent, and how The Sevens creates a true showcase environment with media, energy, and a fan experience that feels more like a big-time event than a typical youth sports weekend. Mick shares the strategy behind keeping the tournament selective, donating $20,000 to winning programs, and building sponsor value through both ticket sales and massive organic reach, including a landmark MaxPreps partnership and millions of video views. The conversation goes deeper than highlights and stats. Mick gets honest about the startup reality, the pressure of looking bigger than you are, and the lessons that come from negotiating vendors, earning trust, and refusing to quit when things get messy. We also look ahead to the future: girls flag football, boys flag football, and why the road to the 2028 Olympics could make women’s flag football one of the smartest bets in youth sports right now. If you care about high school football exposure, NIL, sports marketing, or building a modern sports business, listen through and tell us what part of Mick’s story hit home.

Send us Fan MailA role can open doors, but a single “no” can protect your future. We’re joined by actor Aspen Kennedy for a candid conversation about faith, purpose, and the real-life decisions that shape a creative career when the timeline feels uncertain. Aspen shares how he found acting almost by accident, why mentorship matters, and what it meant to come full circle in the industry through projects like Queen Sugar.We also dig into the deeper stuff: influence, humility, and why storytelling is not just entertainment when you’re trying to leave a legacy. Aspen talks about The Forge and the unexpected reach it had across countries and cultures, plus the responsibility that comes with being “graced” to do work that touches people. If you care about values-driven work, Christian faith in Hollywood, and using a platform to edify others, this conversation stays practical without getting performative.One of the most moving parts is Aspen’s personal testimony around forgiveness and obedience in private, and how God used that heart work to prepare him for a bigger assignment on screen.

Send us Fan MailGen Z doesn’t fall in love with teams the way older generations did and that’s not a problem, it’s a strategy clue. We’re joined by Arabella Hibbert-Corkhill, a social media strategist whose career spans London, New York, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and now Washington, DC. That global perspective turns a familiar topic like “fan engagement” into something sharper: culture moves faster than campaigns, and the only way to keep up is to listen harder than you post.We talk about how China’s internet ecosystem shaped Arabella’s love of social, from the reality of Western platform blocks to the innovation of WeChat and Weibo. If you work in digital marketing, brand strategy, or community building, you’ll hear why platform design and cultural norms change everything, and why “one size fits all” social media strategy is usually a quiet failure.From there, we get into modern sports marketing and the question every team asks: how do we reach Gen Z? Arabella breaks down passion points beyond the game itself, including fashion, music, food, and creators, plus why collaborations like Nike and Skims can work when audiences truly overlap. We also dig into cultural sensitivity, why some launches backfire, and how loud comment sections can be both a warning and a superpower.Finally, we unpack NIL and personal branding for athletes, the rise of IRL community, and Arabella’s strongest stance: meet the audience where they are and give creators room to tell your story.

Send us Fan MailThe loudest flex in sports business might be how quietly the best deals get done. We’re joined by our friend David Cline, a pro athlete mortgage lender who’s built a reputation on discretion, speed, and doing the right thing when nobody’s watching. If you’ve ever wondered how high-profile clients choose who to trust, this conversation breaks down the real signals: privacy-first behavior, disciplined execution, and a team that can handle complexity without drama. We get into why David prefers curated “socials” over traditional networking, how controlling the guest list changes the quality of relationships, and what “ROI” looks like when you can’t post names, photos, or closings. He shares stories from the field, including how a small detail inside an LLC can accidentally make a purchase public, and why respecting boundaries (no autographs, no clout chasing) is part of elite service in athlete mortgages and luxury real estate. Then we go tactical on underwriting: signing bonuses, guaranteed money, incentives, short career windows, credit challenges, trades, practice-squad movement, and why reading a contract is a core mortgage skill. We also talk NIL athletes earning serious income at 18 or 19, how predatory rates and “friends” can do real damage, and what it takes to build a personal board of directors early enough to change someone’s future. If this helped you think differently about privacy, credit, and building the right team, subscribe, share it with someone who works with athletes or high earners, and leave us a review.

Send us Fan MailMarketing can either borrow from culture or build with it, and the difference shows immediately. We’re joined by Kirsten Atkinson, SVP of Brand Partnerships and Sales at Complex (West Coast), to talk about what brand partnerships really are when you stop treating them like a transaction and start treating them like long-term brand stewardship.Kirsten walks us through her journey from studying mass media and PR to running huge media budgets at top agencies, then stepping into entertainment and client partnerships before landing at Complex. We dig into the practical side of partnership strategy: starting with the problem a brand is trying to solve, using insight as the connective tissue, and designing campaigns that earn attention through storytelling. She breaks down early partnership thinking with Nissan and Complex, including a Mark Ecko apparel collaboration launched in a fashion context, plus the mindset behind culture-first integrations like the Lexus Black Panther partnership.We also get tactical about how leaders stay relevant in youth culture and the creator economy: scanning social for sentiment, reading comments, getting outside, and building proactive ideas that actually fit the moment. Kirsten shares three simple filters that keep partnership marketing sharp: first to market, innovation, and technology. Finally, we talk legacy, opening doors for creators, and why reaching back to students and young professionals matters if we want this industry to change.If you got value from this conversation, subscribe, share it with someone building partnerships, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailSome people climb by getting louder. Ashley S. Green climbs by getting clearer. Ashley is a sports, entertainment, and lifestyle marketing consultant based in Atlanta, and her approach flips the usual playbook: lead with service, protect your identity, and let your work speak before your pitch ever does. We talk about what it really means to be a disruptor in sports marketing and community impact, and why “to thine own self be true” is more than a motto, it’s a career decision you make again and again. Ashley traces her commitment to service back to Mississippi roots and a family legacy of collective survival and community care, then shares how her years in education and a defining experience student teaching in England shaped her leadership style. From helping families navigate real needs to guiding athletes beyond one-off drives, she explains how impact grows when it’s strategic, relationship-based, and built for the long term. We also dig into networking in powerful rooms, including why “early pitching” can backfire and how listening, observing, and offering real value creates connections that last. Finally, Ashley calls out a system she’s actively disrupting: the way industries reward logos and big names over independent talent and proven skill. If you care about sports philanthropy, athlete branding, social impact strategy, and building an ecosystem that protects athletes and entertainers from being taken advantage of, you’ll leave with a sharper mindset and practical moves. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share this with a friend who’s building in sports or entertainment, and leave a review with the biggest takeaway you’re applying next.www.createcultivate.comELEVATECC20 for 20% OFFSupport the showBefore you go - here are three ways to continue elevating your legacy & connect:1.
