My background is in both marketing, I hold a BBA in Marketing from Texas A&M University - Mays Business School, and law, I am licensed to practice law and went to Texas A&M University School of Law. I consider myself a multipotentialite because I not only have a degree in marketing and a law license, but I was a competitive gymnast, a writer, an actress with an acting agent for 15 years, and more. A multipotentialite is someone who doesn't have one true calling like specialists do. We have the ability to be successful in multiple industries sometimes simultaneously.

Through my podcast I want to help you realize Your Potential for Everything and learn from my guests about how they have managed to lead lives in multiple careers and never had to settle for having one answer to the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

In this episode of Your Potential for Everything, host Alex brings on Brent “Lord Beezus” Aasgaard a professional esports player for Jazz Gaming of the NBA 2K League. Brent talks to Alex about NBA 2K, Being a Gamer, & the NBA Draft.

Brent was a gamer from a young age and never dreamed that going pro in NBA 2K would be in his future. He was drafted in the NBA 2K League Draft in 2019 as the #24 overall pick by the Indiana Pacers. He points out similarities between professional esports athletes and professional traditional sports athletes. Brent played traditional basketball for a long time before an injury sidelined him. He believes is real-life experience in basketball helps him as a gamer in the NBA 2K League.

He encourages everyone who is interested in esports to network in the industry and get familiar with the different career paths you can take. Being a professional gamer is great, but he points out there are jobs behind the scenes that are important and diverse as well. He also mentioned he was happy that women are getting drafted into the NBA 2K League because diversity is a great thing to have.
