Most people know Mike Mullins as the founder of Illinois Wolves Basketball and one of the most influential figures in youth basketball.

What many don’t know is the story behind the man.

In our conversation with Mike, we went far beyond basketball. We discussed growing up with very little, the mentors who changed his life, family challenges, and how those experiences shaped his commitment to helping thousands of young athletes throughout Illinois.

This episode reminded us that you can never judge a book by its cover.

The lessons Mike learned as a young man became the foundation for the impact he has made on countless players and families over the years.

🎙️ New Episode Releases Monday, June 8
