Shannon Williams Talks Holiday Harvest, Young Titan Mindset, Mentorship | 105.1 The Bounce

In this interview on 105.1 The Bounce, Lori Mac sits down with Detroit native Shannon Williams, founder of Young Titan Mindset, to discuss his journey from playing professional basketball overseas to becoming a community leader and nonprofit founder.

Shannon talks about how an injury ended his basketball career and led him to reassess his purpose. He explains how faith played a central role in guiding him toward mentorship and service, eventually resulting in the creation of Young Titan Mindset. Although the nonprofit is just over a year old, Shannon shares how it has already built partnerships with organizations like Forgotten Harvest and Catholic Charities and supported the community through food giveaways, clothing drives, and youth programs.

The conversation also explores Shannon’s work helping young athletes gain exposure and opportunities outside of Detroit, including playing overseas. He discusses the importance of changing mindset through travel and experience, financial literacy topics such as life insurance, and the realities of running a nonprofit beyond what people see on social media.
