In this powerful and inspiring episode of The Art of Rebounding, Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with actor, writer, director, and entrepreneur Allen Maldonado to unpack the grind behind his success. From growing up in an underserved community to starring in hit shows like Black-ish, and writing for Survivor’s Remorse and The Last O.G., Allen shares how basketball shaped his work ethic and how mentorship, discipline, and faith helped him carve out his path in Hollywood. Allen opens up about his “mile 20” philosophy — that critical point where your mind wants to quit — and why persistence, daily discipline, and being “obsessed with success” are the keys to winning in life. Whether you’re chasing a dream, rebuilding after a setback, or pushing through your own mile 20 moment, this conversation will leave you motivated and ready to put in the work.
