Each of us has those first person friendships from back in the day. Bucky McMillan is one of those guys for me. If you know one thing about him, it's his love for basketball. While most of my friends ventured into corporate America, Bucky pursued his passion as an AAU basketball coach, earning $1,500 a year. He knew his path and excelled. But learn how he made it work.
In 2013, Bucky led Mountain Brook Schools to national prominence, transforming them into one of the best high school teams in the country. Mountain Brook wasn't known for athletic prowess until he worked his magic.
Fast forward to 2020, Samford University recognized Bucky's talent, hiring him to coach their men's basketball program. From just 9 wins initially, he guided them to their first NCAA tournament in 25 years within four years, in 2024.
Whether he coaches a Final 4 team or makes it to the NBA remains to be seen, but I am confident in his success.
Recently, I caught up with Bucky and his staff over dinner, discussing college athletics, the transfer portal, NIL, his potential, and esteemed colleagues like Nate Oats and Bruce Pearl. He holds nothing back.
As the dog days of summer roll in, it's a perfect time to reconnect with individuals who achieve remarkable feats. Don't miss out on hearing Bucky's story and insights - he's an hour well spent for any sports enthusiast.

This week 3 Democrats on the Federal Trade Commission voted to repeal the use of non-compete agreements in America for nearly everybody. This is huge for many people in industries ion which businesses force them upon employees as a condition of their employment. Upon leaving the company, the employee is contractually bound to a period of time they cannot seek employment in that same field with a competitor. Imagine not being able to work for 6 months after leaving a job and having to get by without that income stream.
Today, Ben comments on that practice and how it has affected him personally, gives credit to the three Democrats on the Federal Trade Commission who made this happen, and questions why Republicans haven't done this years ago.
