What does it look like to be a Division I athlete who stays grounded, purpose-driven, and anchored in faith—while navigating fame, NIL money, loss, identity shifts, and the transition into entrepreneurship?

In this deeply moving episode of Elevate Wellness, hosts Lisa D. Murphy and Mark Murphy sit down with Anthony Leal, Indiana Hoosiers basketball star turned entrepreneur, whose story gained national attention when he used his NIL earnings to pay off his sister’s student loan debt.

He shares the emotional story of his sister’s influence, the heartbreak of losing a close friend, the pressures of identity in sports, and what it really takes for young men and women to manage mental health in a world obsessed with perfection.

Today, Anthony is building companies that help athletes create long-term financial stability and transform the sports ecosystem—ranging from a real estate investment group to Motion Sports, a tech company recently backed by Mark Cuban.
