Steven Simmons—Supporting College Athletes for Financial Literacy and NIL Licensing

Show Notes

Our guest Steven Simmons, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Nilent, NIL Enterprise Solutions, shares experiences supporting college athletes for financial literacy, wellbeing, and social media branding.

Partnering with colleges and corporate bands, Steve shares how the Nilent service model reflects a mix of altruism and mercenary capitalism. The model is driving solutions in the wake of the recent federal ruling allowing college athletes to monetize their name, image, and likeness (NIL). He underlies the importance of authentic engagement not only across Nilent services, but for athletes in branding, and colleges in educating.
