Welcome back to another episode of Season Two here on the Reach Your Prime Podcast. Today, on the first part of the show, we are joined by a very special guest, Amobi Okugo. Amobi is a jack of all trades; professional athlete, entrepreneur, and investor. In this episode we dive into his story and learn more about him as a person, which is something that we value as athletes; to be known as more than just a great player, but also as a person.

In part two of this episode, we are joined by another special guest, Bobby Audley. Bobby is a former student-athlete, lacrosse player, lacrosse coach, and a world-renowned leadership development facilitator.
