Interview with Free Game CEO Leek

 

 

 

 Had to sit down with @madmanleek inside @woodswrxmedia
We talked sports — baseball, some hoops — and really tapped into the GRIND. The hours he put in to become a leader and a real factor on that baseball field  … and how that same discipline helped him transition into the battle rap scene.
He also spoke on being big on the Hyphy movement and how he incorporates some of those dance vibes into his raps  — that energy different!!
He’s really putting on for Sacramento and doing it the right way. I had the chance to attend one of his events and it was A1 — no !! Major love to everybody who showed up and participated!
Big shoutout to @iamaward and @everythingloso — y’all gotta pull back up to the City so we can sit down and tap in!! 
Don’t miss this drop!!

Interview with Sacramento's Own Dr. Ray Harris

Today’s conversation bridges academics, athletics, and personal growth. Our guest recently completed their doctorate and brings a powerful story rooted right here at Los Rios, where they once competed as a student-athlete in the early 2000s before transferring to Western Illinois to finish their undergraduate degree.

As an athlete, they learned how to compete, endure, and push physical limits—but it wasn’t until a professor challenged them that they discovered how to push themselves intellectually. That moment now defines their teaching philosophy: helping students understand that academic excellence requires the same discipline, intentional practice, and mindset as athletics—not for grades, but for true mastery.

We’ll also touch on the athlete experience today, including the journey of Ray Harris Jr., a sophomore guard formerly with University of the Pacific, whose path through college basketball was shaped by performance, redshirting, health challenges, and resilience.

This is a conversation about growth, identity, and what it really means to level up—on and off the court. Let’s get into it.
