We had the good fortune of connecting with Brent Benson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brent, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
Ultimately, I played college basketball and volunteered for a numerous amount of summer programs for kids. This inspired me to become a positive influence and role model for our youth, through the game of basketball, After playing overseas, this passion and vision continued to grow, thus resulting in B3 Academy.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
B3 is a dream that has become a reality! I believe my passion emphasizes a major difference from others within the same field. B3 is family based and geared towards all ages, genders and levels of experience.

Having faith and trusting the process is ultimately what has gotten me where I am today. Executing a lifelong vision is not an easy task by far, but with hard work, dedication, and a team that works equally as hard, it has been possible and well worth the journey.

The biggest lesson thus far has been to believe and bet on yourself! Many individuals may not understand and/or believe in your vision, which has inspired me to work ten times harder to ensure greatness.

“Changing lives one shot at a time”. We take pride in our craft, as well as our impact for generations to come. B3 strives to influence lives on and off the court. It’s more than just basketball.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Within the city of Atlanta, there are several attractions to keep one interested, in fact, too many to name just one. Depending on the energy and crowd, locations will vary. While downtown has the exciting nightlife experience, such as sporting events, lounge areas and memorable restaurants, the surrounding cities can be more of a calm and relaxing scene. Without a doubt, our city does not and will not disappoint.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My parents have been the true definition of love and support. Their dedication, hard work, and sacrifice has set a remarkable foundation for greatness. Without them, my story is incomplete.
