OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Quentin Richardson

ARCHETYPE

The Convener

The room, the network and the deal, brings the right people together.

Quentin Richardson leads as The Convener, drawing influence from connection rather than command. The NBA veteran and Knuckleheads co-host frames podcasting as a collaborative space, not a competitive one, credits peers for inspiring him, and builds community across generations of Chicago basketball. His instincts show in the details, inviting Antoine Walker onstage, championing neighborhood court refurbishment through Kamile Murray's project. Richardson's power is gravitational. People gather around him, and he makes sure they meet.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY CONVENER

This space is enough for all of us to get in here and do our ship and get money and make our way and be able to take care of our families and it's fun.

REJECTING COMPETITION IN PODCASTING SPACE

We about to do a basketball portion of that to try and bring that and perf that back into the city — that's something I'm extremely passionate about.

ON COMMUNITY BASKETBALL PROGRAMMING

We remember the first conversations I had with both y'all before y'all got cracking — y'all didn't took off doing y'all thing. I feel like once we all did it the way we did it, everybody else saw they could do it their own way too.
