What happens when your dream of going pro doesn’t pan out?

In this episode of Walk 2 Wealth, I sit down with Omar Fortt — former UConn linebacker turned entrepreneur and founder of Runners Collective. Omar opens up about life after football, rebuilding his identity, and launching one of Connecticut’s fastest-growing wellness communities from scratch.

We talk about:

  • Navigating life after college athletics
  • Building a personal brand without the NFL logo
  • Launching a movement with no followers and turning it into 100+ people running every week
  • The role of marketing, mindset, and mission in finding your next chapter

Whether you're an athlete, a creative, or just figuring out your next step — Omar's story is packed with lessons on purpose, perseverance, and turning pain into progress.

🎧 Tap in and discover how to create something meaningful when it feels like you’re starting from zero.
