Welcome back, Converge listeners, to another inspiring episode. I'm your host, Jeff Williamson, joined by my co-host Brian Prairie, and today we're excited to bring you part two of our conversation with the remarkable Evelyn Magley, CEO of the Basketball League!
In this session, Evelyn dives deep into the heart of community impact, sharing how The Basketball League isn't just about the game but about fostering local economies, creating safe spaces for fun, and bringing people together to make a difference. We discuss the league's incredible growth from 8 to 49 teams and its expansion plans in North America, even amid the pandemic — a testament to the unyielding power of community.
Evelyn emphasizes the culture of giving back as players engage in meaningful community outreach, building stronger bonds in the neighborhoods they serve. This drive for community betterment has even contributed to a downturn in local crime rates on game nights — a ripple effect of the league's influence.
Beyond the league, Evelyn imparts the vital importance of self-acceptance and the valuable role of effective listening in leadership, suggesting she may even bring her wisdom to a TED talk stage in the future. We round off the discussion with an invitation to listeners to support and get involved with The Basketball League's initiatives, reminding us all that the true wealth in life extends far beyond monetary measures.
So sit tight and tune in as we celebrate the power of sports in connecting communities, embracing authenticity, and inspiring future generations. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button to join us for more stories of leadership, purpose, and impact.
