Transcript. What follows is a transcript of the video above, in Isaiah Cull’s own words. It has not been rewritten, and no part of it was drafted for them.
I'm Isaiah Cole, and I'm a junior basketball player at Mid-America Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas. Some local small business owners that have inspired me, one being Ben Jackson, who founded and created Bungie, which is basically an Uber for your stuff. Another one would be Lars Hansen, who opened up Ignite Gym, which is for strength and conditioning for local athletes, and he's built a big and strong community for local camps and younger athletes striving to get to the next level. The last one would be Drew Molitoris, who has opened up his own basketball tournament company called Hardwood Events, and he helps with excelling the next generation for collegiate athletics and helping them get to the next step. I've worked with him for social media and helping kids get recruited in order to play at the highest level possible.
