  • Nimari Burnett on Winning the Big Ten & Building a Championship Mindset

    Nimari Burnett on Winning the Big Ten & Building a Championship Mindset
    Mar 24 2026
    How does a high school top pick and champion college basketball player build and protect an elite mindset? In Season 6 Episode 12 (EP. 134) of the What Dewey Do? Podcast, Nimari Burnett, current starting shooting guard for the University of Michigan men's basketball team, opens up about his journey and the hard-earned lessons from his dynamic career — from navigating the grind of college hoops to capturing a Big Ten championship, and embracing what he calls the “new era of NIL.” We break down the culture shift under new head coach Dusty May, the shared championship mindset, and the standard every player must commit to in order to win at the highest level in the Big Ten Conference. If you want an up-close, unfiltered look at the real college basketball landscape straight from both player and coach perspectives, this episode pulls back the curtain and reveals the truth behind the jersey of a Big Ten Champion. Don’t miss this powerful episode and discover how athletes like Nimari balance academics, pressure, performance, and personal growth while chasing greatness on and off the court. Quotes: - Dewey Steffen: "It takes a very humble player or a very team-oriented player because there are only five guys that can be out there at the end of the game, whether the game's on the line or not.” - Nimari Burnett: "The biggest component of basketball is when you take a step back and have a coach's perspective, and also an unselfish mindset.” - Nimari Burnett: "You are capable of doing what you set out to do, honestly, even more than that." Nimari Burnett is the current starting shooting guard for the Michigan Wolverines of the Big Ten Conference. He previously played for the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Alabama Crimson Tide. He is also currently pursuing a Master of Social Work at the University of Michigan. Nimari takes pride in serving his community and building relationships that can become impactful and meaningful in any chosen field. He brings the same resilience, discipline, and focus he’s developed on the court into his professional and academic pursuits. His journey has shaped him into a leader who thrives under pressure, values teamwork, and approaches challenges with creativity and confidence.

  • Dollars, Gold, or Crypto – Which Will Rule the Future of Money?

    Dollars, Gold, or Crypto – Which Will Rule the Future of Money?
    Jan 28 2026

    Money is changing fast, and smart investors are learning how to use dollars, gold, and crypto together to build a more resilient financial strategy.

    In Season 6 Episode 10 (EP. 132) of the What Dewey Do? Podcast, the conversation breaks down one of today’s biggest financial debates and replaces noise with strategy. The roles of U.S. dollars as liquidity, gold as long-term protection, and crypto as a speculative satellite are clearly defined.

    You’ll discover how to address the risks most investors overlook, including inflation drag, custody mistakes, regulation, and volatility to make informed decisions instead of emotional ones.

    Want a clearer way to manage cash, hedge risk, and approach crypto without hype? Hit play and get a practical framework you can actually use.

    Quotes:

    - Dewey Steffen: "Dollars handle liquidity, gold hedges long-term risk, and crypto plays a speculative future role."

    - Dewey Steffen: "Idle dollars lose value over time. Cash is necessary, but it shouldn’t sit around doing nothing.”

    - Dewey Steffen: "Dollars, gold, and crypto aren’t competitors. They’re tools with different jobs in your financial toolbox."
