On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we talk to Damon Lembi, former baseball player at ASU, author, and the CEO of Learnit.
Damon tells us about growing up playing sports, his thoughts on NIL, and the importance of networking and connecting.
Talk a little bit about your thoughts on networking and connecting as an athlete.
"I think networking and connecting is really important, and it is a skill that happens inherently to athletes when they're playing. Being an athlete, you connect with other athletes, and there's kind of like a bond out there...I think athletes know how to do that. Now when it comes to connecting and networking outside of their own community, whether it's the business world or whatever, I think there is a gap that needs to be worked on and closed. I think that there's a tremendous opportunity for athletes to evolve and develop those skills and then be able to carry them on when they are done with sports."
"I really believe that athletes have the ability to be super successful in the business world, if they're able to network...But it all starts with them believing in themselves, believing in the skills that they have."
