The Breakthrough Code

In this week's episode, Tom sits down with his friend, Jeff Lamp. Jeff is a former NBA player and 1988 NBA Champion. He now works with the NBA Players Association in mentoring current and former NBA Players to find their passion off the court so they can thrive when they are no longer playing.

Jeff is an excellent example of the Breakthrough Code. He was cut from his 7th grade basketball team, which he said is pretty hard to do, and then only played in 2 games for his 8th grade basketball team. Then a coach for the high school he was going to attend saw him play and told him he better come out for the high school team. That coach’s belief in Jeff helped Jeff become and All American high school and college basketball player and then a first round draft choice in the NBA.

More information on Jeff Lamp: Jeff Lamp is a distinguished professional basketball veteran and esteemed member of the 1988 NBA championship team with the Los Angeles Lakers. With an accomplished 11-year career in the NBA and an additional six years of professional play in Europe, Lamp brings extensive insights from his on-court experiences. Off the court, his dedication to mentorship and development shines through his work with the National Basketball Player’s Association, where he's spent the last 22 years advising current NBA players on achieving their professional and personal aspirations.

Beyond basketball, Jeff has an impressive track record in business development, specifically in online marketing partnerships and youth sports programming. With a career that spans the NBA, European Business Division of the NBA, and even the management of over 150 basketball camps, Lamp's multifaceted experience offers a unique perspective on career transitions, personal development, and the intersection of sports and business.

After achieving his first dream of touring the world as a musician, Trey Lockerbie began prioritizing health and wellness. Kombucha changed his life.  He says, "I spit Kombucha out the first time I bought it, but when I brewed it for myself, I saw where others were going wrong. I wanted to create a drink that people craved, without selling them on the health benefits."

Better Booch is now sold in Whole Foods, Sprouts, Target, Walmart, Costco, and many other amazing retailers. We bootstrapped Better Booch from $0 to $7M in revenue - manufacturing every bottle by hand - before taking outside capital. 

Along the way Trey became fascinated by Warren Buffett and his philosophies on business. This drove him to become the host of We Study Billionaires - the #1 investing show in the world, of which he was a fan of since 2015.
