I recently had the privilege of joining the Sports Business Classroom Audio Experience with Sergio Millas, where we talked about leadership, personal growth, and the qualities I believe define strong leaders.

In our conversation, I shared a bit about my journey—from starting in PR and communications to eventually becoming President and GM of the Wizards—and why humility, hustle, and human connection have been at the core of everything I’ve done.

We also talked about:

    • Why going the extra mile is a mindset, not just a task

    • How leadership is more about listening than directing

    • The daily habits and practices that keep me grounded

    • Why embracing the journey matters more than instant gratification

I also touched on my work with Sports Business Classroom students and the next generation of basketball leaders, and why coaching and mentorship are so important in helping people navigate change. 

More than anything, I hope this conversation encourages others to see leadership as a lifelong journey.
