Listen "From NBA Dreams to Inventing a Game-Changing Basketball Machine with Grind Founder Thomas Fields // EP. 64"
Episode Synopsis
Thomas Fields grew up chasing NBA dreams. He didn't have height on his side, but he had grind. Until multiple torn ACLs ended his shot altogether. But instead of giving up on the game, he turned to innovation. In this episode, Thomas shares how he went from aspiring pro athlete to tech founder, building Grind, a portable basketball shooting machine that's changing how players train. With no formal engineering background, he spent several years developing his first prototype, eventually landing appearances on platforms like ABC's Shark Tank, Forbes 30 Under 30, and CNBC. This is a story of resilience, invention, reinventing yourself, and redefining what it means to make it.Be sure to check out the Show Notes!Follow us on Instagram: @witnessbusinessFollow Thomas on Instagram: @grindbasketball_ and @thomas.fields
