Built For Legacy
Built For Legacy (previously The Nichols and Dimez Show) is the podcast for high performers navigating major transitions and building work that lasts. Hosted by Chris Nichols, this show features candid conversations with athletes, veterans, and entrepreneurs who have boldly shifted from peak careers into purpose-driven ventures built to leave lasting impact. Whether stepping off the field, leaving the military, or walking away from a corporate ladder, our guests share how they embraced their next chapter to grow, lead, and build with intention. Each episode dives into the mindset shifts, strategies, and lessons they used to move beyond their first chapter — from launching a business to scaling a personal brand. Built For Legacy offers actionable insights, inspiring stories of reinvention, and a playbook for those determined to make their next move the most meaningful yet.

Quentin Williams | Identity After Athletics: Coaching for Life Beyond Sports
Quentin Williams is a coach who helps athletes transition to life beyond sports. In this conversation, we discuss Quentin’s background playing football and how experiencing concussions and witnessing related long term negative impacts on other fellow athletes motivated him to help bring awareness to this problem. This includes topics like CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), men’s mental health, and the importance of having compassion. We also talk about the most common struggles that athletes experience when moving on from a career as an athlete (esp. around identity), his coaching business philosophy and structure, and entrepreneurial lessons learned.
