Nimari Burnett on Winning the Big Ten & Building a Championship Mindset

How does a high school top pick and champion college basketball player build and protect an elite mindset? In Season 6 Episode 12 (EP. 134) of the What Dewey Do? Podcast, Nimari Burnett, current starting shooting guard for the University of Michigan men's basketball team, opens up about his journey and the hard-earned lessons from his dynamic career — from navigating the grind of college hoops to capturing a Big Ten championship, and embracing what he calls the “new era of NIL.” We break down the culture shift under new head coach Dusty May, the shared championship mindset, and the standard every player must commit to in order to win at the highest level in the Big Ten Conference. If you want an up-close, unfiltered look at the real college basketball landscape straight from both player and coach perspectives, this episode pulls back the curtain and reveals the truth behind the jersey of a Big Ten Champion. Don’t miss this powerful episode and discover how athletes like Nimari balance academics, pressure, performance, and personal growth while chasing greatness on and off the court. Quotes: - Dewey Steffen: "It takes a very humble player or a very team-oriented player because there are only five guys that can be out there at the end of the game, whether the game's on the line or not.” - Nimari Burnett: "The biggest component of basketball is when you take a step back and have a coach's perspective, and also an unselfish mindset.” - Nimari Burnett: "You are capable of doing what you set out to do, honestly, even more than that." Nimari Burnett is the current starting shooting guard for the Michigan Wolverines of the Big Ten Conference. He previously played for the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Alabama Crimson Tide. He is also currently pursuing a Master of Social Work at the University of Michigan. Nimari takes pride in serving his community and building relationships that can become impactful and meaningful in any chosen field. He brings the same resilience, discipline, and focus he’s developed on the court into his professional and academic pursuits. His journey has shaped him into a leader who thrives under pressure, values teamwork, and approaches challenges with creativity and confidence.

Just in time for the season of giving, here’s a no-BS guide to tipping with confidence, generosity, and a clear conscience. Tipping takes center stage from its origin story to the post-COVID spike in expectations, including the tech-fueled “tip creep” phenomenon. You’ll learn when to tip, what to tip, and when it’s totally fine to skip it. Holiday tipping guidelines, auto-gratuity red flags, guilt-driven screens, and personalized service rules are all part of this tipping playbook that’s just as useful for 2026 as it is right now. Skip the awkward pause at the tablet and stop tipping out of guilt. Watch the full episode and head into the holidays with your wallet in balance. Quotes: - Dewey Steffen: "The general rule: tip when someone provides personalized service and relies heavily on your gratuity." - Dewey Steffen: "Holiday tipping is different. You’re giving a bonus to people who support you all year long.” - Dewey Steffen: "In self‑service situations, there’s no need to tip. Don’t let a tablet screen guilt trip you." ➡️ WDD TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@whatdeweydopodcast ➡️ WDD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdeweydopodcast ➡️ WDD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatdeweydo ➡️ GLW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLWealth Thanks for watching!
