Amir Ansari | Chief Imagination Officer & Mindset Guide

I believe that creativity isn’t limited to artists, and play isn’t just for children. Instead, play is an enhanced state of mind that fuels creativity, innovation, and fulfillment in people of all ages. The inspiration to start Playmore came from my deep desire to help people remember the innate imaginative abilities we are born with – abilities that often get lost under the demands of everyday life. By reigniting natural human creativity, I hope to empower others to see the world with fresh eyes, embrace a limitless mindset, and unlock possibilities in their lives. Read more>>

Troy Carter Jr | Founder, 432 MEDIA — Owner, Box Boys

I am truly inspired by the great executives who have come before and paved a way for me. Obviously my father, Troy Carter. J Erving is someone who bet on and believed in me early, and put me in position to really win. I am grateful to have had support from people like Ryan Press, Shawn Gee, & Mont Brown on my way up. So with learning from these guys, I’m truly inspired by the opportunity to win a new arena. Im fortunate to be building in the era where social media has democratized access to fans and community. Independent ownership is also the standard in this iteration of the business. Its very inspiring to know that the moves we’ve made, and the moments we’ve curated with Box Boys are going to live forever. Read more>>
