Nearly two dozen athletes attended the event, where they learned about entrepreneurship, investing, and leadership from some of the top names in business. Speakers included Fanatics founder Michael Rubin, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, ESPN Chair Jimmy Pitaro, and Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves. These leaders shared lessons on building companies, managing wealth, and staying competitive in business. Former NFL star Aaron Donald called it “one hell of an opportunity” to sit in a room with billion-dollar company founders and gain real insight. NBA player Cole Anthony echoed that, saying the camp motivated him to take his off-court ventures more seriously. Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman, who co-founded the company with Kevin Durant, said the goal is to give athletes a blueprint for their "2.0 career" beyond the game. Fanatics’ chief people officer Toretha McGuire added that the athletes’ current access and networks are key to their post-sports success. Participants came away inspired, noting the similarities between competing in sports and thriving in business. The message was clear: mindset, grit, and preparation still matter—just in a different arena.
