In Episode 28 of the Men Pursuing More podcast, we sit down with NCAA Champion Bennett Davison for an inspiring and unfiltered look at his basketball journey—from a small-town kid in Sebastopol, California, with a 1.8 GPA and a spot on the bench, to cutting down the nets with the University of Arizona. Bennett shares how playing multiple sports and navigating early setbacks shaped his drive, leading him to knock on doors for scholarship opportunities and eventually land at West Valley Junior College. From there, his path took him to Arizona, where he played under Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson and helped lead the Wildcats to a national title in his first year. After college, Bennett chose a different route, spending 13 years playing overseas, where he learned valuable life lessons and developed a passion for mentoring others. He now runs Euro Hoop Life, helping current and aspiring overseas players. Bennett also opens up about his move to Dallas to be closer to his three daughters and his newest venture, Bird Basketball. This episode is a story of grit, growth, and using every chapter—no matter how challenging—to build something meaningful.

“Built for the battle—on the court, in business, and in life.”

In Episode 27 of Men Pursuing More, Chris Neumann shares his powerful story—from growing up in Milwaukee with 12 siblings and finding his passion for basketball, to starring at Whitefish Bay High School and Minnesota-Duluth. He walks us through the decision-making process that landed him at Minnesota-Duluth, overcoming uncertainty and turning down other offers. At MDU, Chris teamed up with Brian Hanson ("B"), and together they built a legacy.

He reflects on how his belief in "winning and preparation" translated from the court to business and life. He reflects on key moments in sports, life, family, and business, including his long career at Western States Envelope, his battle with prostate cancer, and the joy of seeing his sons play Division I basketball. This is a story about grit, preparation, and the mindset it takes to win—on and off the court.

"Rooted in Faith, Shaped by Brotherhood, Leading and Counseling with Purpose."

In this Episode 26 of Men Pursuing More, Quincy Davis shares with us growing up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in a home full of energy, competition, and strong family ties. As one of four brothers raised by a single mother—with a father who served in the military—Quincy learned early on about resilience, responsibility, and the importance of sticking together. He shares what it was like attending Fountain Fort Carson High School, where he and his brothers made their presence felt in athletics. Those experiences, both the highlights and hardships, shaped his path and ultimately led him to play college basketball—first at Adams State and then Presentation College, where he not only continued his athletic journey but also met his future wife.

Quincy’s pursuit of purpose took him into counseling and coaching, earning his master’s degree from Northern State while serving as a graduate assistant. In 2016, he joined Eastview High School as a counselor and coach, helping lead a team to a state championship and mentoring student-athletes along the way. After the heartbreaking loss of his mother in 2021, Quincy continued to lean into his calling, eventually landing a role at Mississippi State as Assistant Director of Counseling and Sports Psychology.
