Tampa, Florida—Back on familiar ground at the University of South Florida, Almon Gunter delivered an energetic and heartfelt message to students in a Media Planning class taught by Ronda Clement, MBA, CCMP.
Gunter encouraged students to think deeply about how they spend their time, emphasizing that every single day offers only 1,440 minutes—and those minutes need to be lived with purpose and intention.
Four Years That Can Shape the Next 40
Known for his high-energy approach to personal growth and performance, Gunter challenged students to recognize the significance of the time they are spending in college.
His message was simple: the four years students spend at a university can help establish the habits, relationships, knowledge, discipline, and mindset that influence the next 40 years of their lives.
Rather than treating college as something to simply complete, Gunter encouraged students to approach the experience intentionally and make the most of the opportunities available to them each day.
You do not get yesterday’s minutes back. What matters is how intentionally you use the ones you have today.
Leadership Lessons From Different Perspectives
Joining Gunter were his business partner John-Michael Castillo, former Mississippi State University Division I athlete Ashlyn Kane, and arena football standout Charles Reid.
Their experiences and perspectives reinforced Gunter’s message about the importance of discipline, focus, preparation, and mental toughness.
Together, they gave students a broader look at how these principles apply across athletics, business, leadership, and everyday life.
