We had the good fortune of connecting with Devin Browne and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Devin, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I saw a need and couldn’t turn away. I started Sports Konnect due to a need i saw in the community and wanted to make a difference.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At Sports Konnect we mentor at-risk youth through Sports, Science, and Mental Health Awareness. We are the only organization that provides all these three. We are really excited about Sports Konnect Youth Move our Mental Health clinic we are working with youth that are stressed and depressed. I had a lot of mentors that helped build Sports Konnect to what it is today.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would say Sugar is amazing great view with awesome drinks. I would also go to Tap 42 brunch on the weekends $ 20 bottomless mimosas great deal! I would say those are great spots to start.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to Shout out Danellia Levine Cava And Rebecca Fishman-Lipsey. These are both very powerful women who both believed in me from the very beginning. Danellia got me into Social work as a Public Allie and developing my leadership skills and always saying she believed in me. Rebecca bringing me into her Radical Partners leadership lab was a game changer for Sports Konnect it really helped us grow and scale.
