He’s coached at nearly every level of the game, giving him a unique 360° perspective on what it takes to build, sustain, and evolve a successful program.

Greg also hosts his own podcast and recently launched a newsletter, both offering thoughtful insight into leadership, culture, and the business of college basketball.

• An overview of Hampton University and the HBCU basketball landscape
• His day-to-day responsibilities as General Manager at Hampton
• Recruiting to Hampton and the unique opportunities that come with it

After a decade of building Kreation Talent Agency from the ground up — negotiating deals across Europe and Asia, traveling to 46 countries, and learning every lesson the hard way — I’ve officially made the transition to FreeGame Management as Director of Basketball Strategy & Athlete Manager.

In this episode, I share the why behind the move, what FreeGame is all about, and answer some of the most common questions I’ve been getting:

• Am I still repping pros?

• Am I focusing more on international or domestic?

• How does this new role expand into high school and college representation?

Grateful for the KTA journey. Fired up for this next chapter with FreeGame. Let’s get it.

Today’s a big one.

When I started this show, I had no clue what I was doing — no team, no sponsors, no fancy equipment. Just a pair of headphones and a commitment to show up.
