EP 28: RASHAD CAMPBELL
Rashad Campbell is an athlete and businessman
Guest Host: Brandon Chubb
Rashad Campbell is an athlete and businessman. He graduated from Cornell University and played Defensive Back on the football team, where as a senior he set an Ivy League record for kick return yards in a season and became the only Ivy player with multiple returns for a score. His 1,921 career kickoff return yards ranks third all-time in the Ivy League. Football has been a consistent thread throughout his family (brother Ibraheim plays for the Indianapolis Colts) and we discuss being a football player and where that can take you, and how Rashad has found many business and corporate environments are similar to the game of football. Rashad has transitioned from football to a financial career, first in selling alternative investments, and now as Partner at Team Altemus where he works directly with athletes from a financial perspective.
