Tracy Haraksin is a Registered Representative and Financial Advisor of Park Avenue Securities LLC (PAS), and provides a unique opportunity to strategize for one’s success. She takes an uncommon approach towards helping her clients achieve long-term financial success. Much of the traditional financial plans and strategies utilized since the 80’s have failed the American public. Breaking away from this model, Tracy creates a personalized plan beginning with a thorough understanding of her clients’ current situation. Then she helps them concretely envision “a good life for the rest of their life.” Only after understanding her clients’ current situation, goals, and aspirations for the future is she able to offer step by step guidance towards building that future.

We live in a society built on “doing it yourself” – DIY. And it works in some areas of life. But it is not working in people’s finances when 57% of Americans retire with less than $25,000. Learn more about Juvenile Gifting by downloading the document discussed on this episode HERE.

Randy Osei, born to immigrant parents in Canada, always had a true passion for the game of basketball. After a couple injuries derailed his hoop dreams, Randy traded in his jersey to work in sports marketing. Randy became the brand manager for a Top 5 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.

In 2015, Randy launched Rozaay Management a creative marketing and branding agency. Rozaay Management has grown into one of Canada’s most influential agencies, working with over 30+ brands, 60 media outlets, and over 150 professional athletes spanning the NBA, NFL, CFL, and MLS.

In 2019, Randy wanted to build a new bridge for athletes; life after sports using technology. Athlete Technology Summit was born and grew to begin building that bridge, but COVID-19 caused Randy to pivot, and shortly after Athlete Tech Group (ATG) was founded in 2021. ATG launched Training Ground, on demand micro learning in a centralized mobile friendly experience.

On this episode, Dr. Matthew Raidbard discusses all things leadership, how to tap into yours and his new book with Sivonnia DeBarros, the protector of athletes.

After obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in history and classical studies from Indiana University, Dr. Raidbard decided to pursue his dream of being a college basketball coach. His first college basketball coaching job was at Western New Mexico University, where in addition to coaching he completed his Master’s degree in Educational Leadership.

After leaving Western New Mexico he served as a men’s basketball coach at Dartmouth College, Florida Gulf Coast University, and Chicago State University. While working at Chicago State he completed his Doctorate in Educational Leadership, with his dissertation focusing on determining the best leadership style and behaviors for athletic coaches to practice. From his dissertation research, he realized that coaches at all levels of sports were being asked to take on increased leadership responsibilities for their athletes and team without sufficient opportunities to receive leadership education and training.

This finding was the inspiration for his new book, “Lead Like A Pro,” where he helps inform coaches about leadership practice, and teaches them how to be more intentional and effective leaders. During his last two years at Chicago State he transitioned into athletics administration, and since that time has worked at the University of Northern Colorado, before moving into his current role as the Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director for Administration, Compliance, and Student-Athlete Success at the University of Hartford.

Harry was born in Philadelphia and attended Rutgers University, receiving a B.S. in Sport Management. He received numerous Big East honors and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 7th round of the 1987 NFL draft. After playing defensive line for three years, he made the difficult switch in 1990 to left offensive tackle where he would play for twelve years.

Harry spent the next six years as a San Diego Charger, taking them to their first ever World Championship, Super Bowl XXIX in 1994. Voted as the team union representative for four years, Harry was pivotal in identifying unacceptable playing and workplace conditions. He would win the next two World Championships with the Denver Broncos. Harry then signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 1999 and won his third World Championship, Super Bowl XXXV. The Miami Dolphins were his final team for the 2001 season after fifteen years in the NFL.

After an extensive year of training with the para-church ministry, Athletes in Action, Harry was assigned to the Chicago Bears. He served as Life Coach and Team Chaplain for five years during Head Coach Lovie Smith’s tenure.

In 2008, Harry returned to the Baltimore Ravens as the Player Development Director, working closely with GM Ozzie Newsome. Harry was tasked with shaping the culture of the team by creating innovative programs and strategically engaging and utilizing partnerships with key influencers. Harry designed, built and executed programs that ensured high potential players performed consistently at the highest level of sport. He created and implemented the Ravens Mentoring Program, which became a sought-after designation for veteran players for 10 years. Additionally, Harry initiated the Ravens Rookie Orientation program which he designed to utilize solution-based research and content driven by qualitative and quantitative data. These and other programs set the Ravens apart. Harry proved that analyzing data in HR was just as profitable as analytics in strategic football.

His talent acquisition duties within the personnel department included 90+ face to face interviews in which Harry identified character traits consistent with organizational goals. Harry’s narrative reports to the GM, Ozzie Newsome, both helped to forecast workforce planning and inform program changes.

During his time with the Ravens, Harry’s programs, including his “Bring the Upstairs Down” (BUD) initiative (which educated employees on benefits, insurance grievances, payroll, union matters, 401k, etc.) greatly influenced the culture of the team and the organization. His robust and comprehensive programs are driven by a holistic approach. People perform at high levels when they are situated as teammates, friend, and co-workers invested relationally. Many with knowledge of my programming agree with Troy Vincent, VP NFL Operations, that “Harry’s department is the benchmark of Player Engagement.”

Harry participated in and won the Wharton School of Executive Education (2012) competition. He led a group of six other NFL franchises and won by utilizing feedback in the milieu as a networking strategy for Career Development. Harry completed his Masters in Human Service Counseling (2018) at Liberty University. In 2019 Harry received the Senior Certified Professional (2019) designation from the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM). He consults with various businesses, such as Unlock the Champion, who states, “we are honored to have Harry join with other NFL Legends as they train the next generation of leaders from many top university athletic programs.” Harry’s consulting always seeks to improve performance.

Retired athletes know their bodies are no longer at their best. They no longer have a team of experts managing their diet and exercise routines. They notice that things are beginning to slip. Maybe they’ve gained some weight. Stamina isn’t what it used to be. The mirror is no longer their friend.

Dr. Greg was featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX. He’s the founder of Retired Athlete Health and the author of Why Doctors Skip Breakfast: Wellness Tips to Reverse Aging, Treat Depression, and Get a Good Night’s Sleep.

He founded Retired Athlete Health and created the Seven-Week Wellness Program to fill the team void for retired athletes. His program is designed to help clients reclaim their youthful health and vigor. His team of experts teach athletes how to use technology, foods, supplements and exercise to create a customized plan to fit their lifestyle.

Dr. Greg is a focused wellness expert who isn’t Dr. Google or your primary doctor. Athletes want someone they can trust to ask health questions. “Is it okay to have this much sugar?” “Should I take vitamins?” “How much sleep do I need?” He gives concrete answers to show clients an achievable and evidence-based way to improve their health and performance.

He uses telemedicine visits to boost athlete health from the convenience and safety of their homes.

“We are thrilled to add someone with Coach Hart’s background and experience to help develop our student-athletes at the University of Nebraska,” Head Coach Amy Williams said. “Coach Hart not only has a track record of success as a strength coach, he also brings his experiences as both a basketball player and assistant coach.”

Hart was a men’s basketball player at Saint Leo University before graduating in 1998. Upon his graduation, Hart served as the head strength and conditioning coach for the Saint Leo Lions from 2008 through 2014. He was responsible for designing and coordinating in- and off-season workout programs for all of 19 sports. Hart hired, supervised and trained a staff of five at Saint Leo, and assisted the Certified Athletic Training staff with rehabilitation of student-athletes.

In addition to his role as a strength and conditioning coach, Hart also served as an assistant women’s basketball coach for three seasons from 2008 to 2011, breaking down film for the team, coordinating travel plans and developing a recruiting base.

A Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (SCCS) by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Hart supervised and managed a 4,500 square-foot Fitness Center at Saint Leo, assisting University members and community patrons, while overseeing 35 student staff during that same six-year period.

At Nebraska, Hart travels with the women’s basketball team as the Huskers’ primary strength and conditioning coach. His philosophy is to create a mentally and physically challenging environment to replicate and ready the student-athletes for the psychological and physiological demands of competition.

Before making her leap into the world of startups, she joined ESPN Stats & Information Group as a Sports Analytics Associate, where she created ESPN’s College Football Fan Happiness Index. She was the first African-American analyst to join the team. Throughout her tenure with the leading sports multimedia company, she became an advocate for harmonizing creativity, human traits, and data science. When people ask Tiffany Kelly to describe herself, she doesn’t hesitate to say that first and foremost she is a passionate idealist and visionary to her core — a trait birthed from her parents, the Reverend Dr. Herman O. Kelly, Jr. and Linda M. Kelly.

Dr. Kelly, a University educator, philosopher, and theologian, helped raise Tiffany and her older brother Herman O. Kelly, III giving both lessons on the meaning of life and joy while Mrs. Kelly worked as a corporate analyst with a background in computer science and technology. A product of the Louisiana private educational system, Tiffany Kelly attended an all-girls Catholic, college preparatory school St. Joseph’s Academy in Baton Rouge before moving to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to study Sport & Recreation Management, Statistics, and Computer Science from Nova Southeastern University (NSU).

She grew more into her natural ability to lead by creating the first sports organization open to undergraduate students at NSU. Early in her college years, Ms. Kelly decided her true calling was eliminating the inequality and lack of gender and racial diversity within the sports industry, especially decision-makers at the top. She served as an analytics contributor for The Undefeated writing on her own experiences and the experiences of other minorities within sports analytics.

Tiffany Kelly has continued her diversity efforts by inspiring youth and women in STEM to use their gifts to change sports and sports tech for a better future. As board member of the Sports Analytics Club Program (SACP) and high-profile ambassador of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) – Lyda Hill Philanthropies IF/THEN Initiative, she seeks to further this calling through sports analytics educational programs provided in inner city secondary schooling throughout the country, and mentoring middle school girls in STEM so they can then be the change.
