Brian DiNapoli has spent over 30 years in public service, community engagement, and youth development. And he saw a gap no one was filling.

Student-athletes are facing unprecedented pressure — NIL deals, social media visibility, mental health challenges, substance use risks — and most don't have the resources or support to navigate it safely.

So Brian built NIL Insight — a platform providing student-athletes and parents with resources on mental health, drug and alcohol prevention, and navigating NIL opportunities with confidence and clarity.

His tagline says it all: "The Roads Are Out There, We Must Build The Bridges."

In this episode of The Standard Podcast™, Brian breaks down the biggest lie culture sold student-athletes about handling pressure, why mental health and substance prevention can't be ignored in the NIL era, how to help young athletes make healthy choices on and off the field, and what parents and coaches need to know to support athlete well-being.

Whether you're a student-athlete navigating NIL pressure, a parent trying to protect your kid, or a coach building a culture of well-being — this conversation will challenge how you think about athlete development beyond the field.

This isn't motivation. This is a movement.

College athletes are signing NIL contracts they don't fully understand. And it's costing them.

Max Rusakov and Calum Kuhn saw the problem and built the solution: RevU — an AI contract-intelligence platform that empowers college athletes to do NIL with confidence.

Max, a recent SMU graduate with a background in finance and management, leads operations and partnerships at RevU. Calum, the CTO and Solutions Engineer at Coralogix (formerly Splunk), brings cutting-edge AI expertise to transform how athletes understand and manage their NIL contracts.

In this episode of The Standard Podcast™, Max and Calum break down the biggest lie the NIL industry sold college athletes, why most athletes don't understand what they're signing, how AI is transforming contract management, and the red flags athletes, families, and athletic directors need to watch for.

Whether you're a college athlete navigating NIL deals, a parent trying to protect your kid, or an athletic director building resources for your program—this conversation will challenge how you think about NIL contracts and athlete protection.

This isn't motivation. This is a movement.
