Ryan Williams
Partner at Athletes First Sports Agency
“If you find one person to believe in you, ride that wave for as long as you can because you never know where it’s going to end up.”
“As an unpaid intern, I thought that if I do 12 hours of work vs. the normal 8 hours, I can get ahead of other people.”
“If I don’t respond to your interview request keep pushing, you have to follow up with people or you’ll get forgotten.”
“Be creative and different in every facet of life and you will find success.”
“[Agents] are the call that everyone makes when things hit the fan”
Felisa Israel
Founder 10 Fold Entertainment
“It’s good for my ego to say I worked in professional sports and entertainment for 30 years, but it’s more gratifying to know I created a platform for all of you to have opportunities to shine in front of executives rather than be represented on a piece of paper.”
“I stayed in my lane; I didn’t try to out-do people but I found areas that I have interest in and maximized the experience.”
“There are 2 kinds of people in the world; leaders and followers, and there are a lot of followers.”
“Stay true to yourself and your passions; do not sell out.”
“It’s who you know that gets you in the door, and what you know that keeps you in.”
