Today, we're thrilled to have Jeremy Pressman on the Thrive Study AbroadCast to share his inspiring journey from being a basketball junkie to a successful venture capitalist.
From an early age, Jeremy pressman was obsessed with basketball; Jeremy made it onto college recruiting lists after trying out for the 5-star basketball camp. He eventually landed a spot on the Yeshiva University basketball team. Despite being committed to his values and refusing to play on Shabbat, while playing at secular colleges, he still made headlines and even had fans showing up with yarmulkes to support him.
He eventually went to Israel to study to become a rabbi and play professional basketball for a year. While in Israel, he transitioned from being a basketball player to a venture capitalist. Working with the Adidas founding family, Jeremy invested in the future of sports, fitness, and gaming technology. He even had the opportunity to bring NBA legend Michael Redd to Israel.
Jeremy's story is a testament to integrating all of the passions of one's life to build a meaningful and successful career and life. Join us in this episode as we explore the importance of staying true to your values and finding success in your passions.
