We connect with athletes and dive into specific stories from their careers. Work ethic, communication, leadership, late nights, and early mornings. These are the stories that help give us perspective into our own lives. Storytelling is a powerful way to connect with one another by drawing inspiration, perspective, and value. Sports is one of the only ways to connect people from every different background and we're here to share the stories of all athletes.

'The Athlete Creator', a 7-part podcast content series highlighting the opportunities within the Creator Economy for athletes. The creator economy is the monetization of content through social media. Currently there are 50 million creators participating in the creator economy and the industry is estimated to be worth over $100B.

As athletes receive 3.3x more engagement on social media than a regular user, there is a massive opportunity for athletes to capitalize on their influence within their immediate community.

It’s our goal to highlight these opportunities and give actionable advice on how athletes can start building an audience online today.

We sat down with Kyle Milley, a product and market developer for Air Institutes (Halifax, NS) and former soccer player for Mt. Allison University (New Brunswick). Air Institutes is a mental resilience training company that focuses on helping individuals and organizations work on building resilience. "Just as you can go to the gym to strengthen your body, you can leverage the power of neuroplasticity to gain mental resilience. Your brain has “mental muscles” too!"  Athletes are constantly in a state of building resilience through defeat, conflict with teammates, and often times battling injuries. We sat down with Air Institutes to have a conversation of how athletes tend to be ahead of the game and how they can apply these skills outside of sport.

Dylan Bell is a former U Sports football player for St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. During his time at X, Dylan was an outstanding leader within the football program and studying kinesiology. After his undergrad, Dylan stayed at X where he obtained his Bachelor of Education degree. He is now a teacher at St. Mary's secondary school in his hometown of Brockville, teaching grade 12 kinesiology.  One of the biggest lessons Dylan tries to share is the importance of learning from everybody. Athletes must be willing to learn from coaches, and coaches must be willing to learn from athletes. Just because you're in a position of seniority doesn't mean you can't learn from someone younger than you. It's when we refuse to open ourselves to new perspectives that we see a greater disconnect to those around us.

Meet Troy Crema, a 4 year Dartmouth College hockey graduate and former professional hockey player with the Rochester Americans in the AHL.

Troy is now the co-founder of Green Cube Analytics, a big data marketing technology company and currently working for Gamma Capital Partners here in Toronto.

Growing up in Toronto, Troy was met with a spleen problem during his final year of minor midget, that sidelined him and affected his stock in the OHL draft. At 16, Troy had a soft commitment to go to Yale but due to a poor performance in a prep school tournament in Boston, Yale decided to hold off and wait another year. The following year he played for the Hamilton Heismans, and unexpectedly to Troy, Dartmouth College offered him a spot on their roster immediately following an exhibition game.

The values of hard work and his experience working within teams is what Troy still carries into his day to day now that he’s in the business world.
