    Nov 7 2025

    In this powerful episode of the Train. Lead. Win. Podcast, we sit down with Collis Temple III — former LSU basketball standout turned national sales director and agency owner at Primerica — to unpack a remarkable journey of grit, mindset, and purpose. Collis shares how his early obstacles, including late physical development and major injuries, shaped the relentless work ethic and coachability that propelled him to success in both athletics and business. He opens up about walking away from professional basketball to build a thriving financial literacy career, the generational legacy of education and leadership in his family, and what it means to be truly present as a husband, father, and entrepreneur. This episode is packed with wisdom on overcoming setbacks, the power of environment and mindset, and why leadership starts with living intentionally — in your work, home, and community.
