💬 "Athletes have grit, resilience, and drive — skills that make great business owners. They just don't realize they have them."

Dave Moss — Former Michigan and NHL Hockey to Franchising and Founder of Next Path Franchising

You trained your whole career.
You dealt with pressure, adversity, and competition.
You know how to work when it's hard.
That's entrepreneurship.
You just haven't called it that yet.

At Alumni Direct, we believe the athletic mindset is a business superpower.

"The same things that made you great on the field? They translate directly into business."

Jack Stewart played professional soccer for nearly a decade. When the career ended, he didn't leave those skills behind — he just moved them to a different field.

The early mornings. The discipline. The ability to take feedback and keep going.

As founder of Cool Factor Cryo, Jack says building a business felt familiar — because athletes are already wired for it.

The difference in entrepreneurship? It's now in your control.

That's the part athletes are built for.

At Alumni Direct, we believe the mindset that carried you through competition is the same mindset that builds great careers and companies.

"Everyone knew me as soccer Jack. Figuring out who I was after that — that was the real challenge."

After nearly a decade in the MLS and USL, Jack Stewart hung up his boots — and faced something most athletes aren't prepared for.

Not the financial part. Not the physical part.

The identity part.

He tried sports tech. He tried HR. He tried sales. And somewhere along the way, he found his lane — building Cool Factor Cryo, a mobile recovery business now expanding through franchising.

His transition wasn't a straight line. It never is.

But every stop along the way prepared him for what came next.

At Alumni Direct, we know that transition looks different for everyone. But you don't have to figure it out alone.
