Meet Logan Newman

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Logan Newman a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Logan, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

Honestly it was something I definitely grew into. But I have to give all the thanks and credit to God who gives me my confidence, or “God-fidence” as I call it. Also, investing into myself: mentally, emotionally, physically and most importantly spiritually. Seeing the fruits of all the labor I put in behind closed doors, gives me so much confidence because I feel as if no one works as hard as I do at my craft.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

As of now I am currently on my year of my contract, playing the forward position with the Detroit Panthers Basketball Club. Also, I am serving as the Youth Affairs Coordinator in the Mayor’s Office of the City of Detroit. As well as operating my media Company 94Feet Inc.

Basketball and serving the youth of Detroit has always and will always be my passion and true calling in life.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Three qualities that were impactful in my journey were: 1) patience. Understanding that things may not happen right when I want them too. Also, learning that people are in different places in life– not expecting myself out of others. 2) being stoic, which has allowed me to look a things from the perspective of truth, logic and reason instead of leaning one my emotions to make important decisions. 3) My trust that God will provide me with everything that I need to live an abundant life on Earth. Giving up my control over the things that I can’t control, understanding that my circumstances do not define me but how I make the most of it.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

My spiritual and emotional growth. Investing in that has open up so many doors for me. We really don’t know how much we are missing out on in life because we can’t see clearly due to our emotions. Conceding my emotions and making decisions from a place of logic and reason is what has gotten me so far in the last year. I have been very intentional about my spiritual journey, getting closer to God and staying rooted. This has helped me find my true purpose and calling in life. And now God has blessed me by putting me in the environments that will help me fulfill my life’s purpose.
