Former All-American Triple Jumper to CEO of Child Action, Inc |Adonai Mack

In this episode of Athletes to Entrepreneurs: The Alumni Journey, host Rob Finkelstein, Founder & CEO of Alumni Direct, sits down with Adonai Mack — former All-American Triple Jumper from Morehouse College and now CEO of Child Action, Inc. — to explore how athletes can transform the lessons of sport into leadership, purpose, and impact.

Adonai shares his journey from chasing Olympic dreams to leading a mission-driven organization that advocates for children and families. Guided by values of education and service instilled by his father, longtime Sacramento-area superintendent Dr. Carl Mack, Adonai brings a powerful perspective on how discipline, resilience, and coaching shaped his success beyond the track.

Together, Rob and Adonai dive deep into what it means to grow through transition — not just to survive it. They uncover how the mental, emotional, and practical lessons learned through sports can become a foundation for leadership and lifelong growth.

Rob and Adonai unpack:

- How athletic discipline translates into leadership excellence

- The importance of coaching that prepares athletes for life, not just performance

- The mental and emotional challenges of redefining identity after sports

- Why education and mentorship are critical for long-term success

- How to find purpose beyond the pursuit of medals or championships

If you’re an athlete (or know one) navigating the next chapter — this conversation will remind you that the end of the game isn’t the end of your story.

It’s the start of a new kind of race — one built on purpose, perseverance, and impact.
