About the guest:

Kevin Daley had a challenging start in life, losing his mother to suicide when he was just three years old. Raised by his father and two older brothers, he developed three ambitious goals at a young age. First, he wanted to play basketball and get paid for it, inspired by someone telling him it was possible. Second, he desired to travel the world. And finally, he aspired to play against and with the best basketball players globally.

Kevin's persistent pursuit paid off, as he played professional basketball for 14 years, including 10 years with the legendary Harlem Globetrotters. During his basketball career, he had opportunities to play with icons like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, even doubling as a stand-in for Jordan in commercials.

Having traveled to 101 different countries, Kevin achieved his goal of seeing the world. Now, he uses his experiences and expertise as a speaker hired by organizations to cultivate winning mindsets and develop superstar performances.

Additionally, Kevin works with current and former professional athletes, helping them transform their athletic backgrounds into successful careers as motivational speakers. Kevin believes that every athlete has a unique story to share, whether it be a struggle or a triumph, and he aims to empower them to leverage their experiences into paid speaking engagements.

Through his own journey, Kevin emphasizes the importance of setting ambitious goals and focusing on being prepared for when opportunities arise.
