Keynote Address 2: Who Are You When the Jersey Comes Off? – Jamie Gilmore Jr. Jamie Gilmore Jr is a leadership speaker, educator, former Division I student-athlete, and Founder & CEO of Kut Different Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young people discover their identity and develop a vision for their future. Known as "Mr. Daily Deposits," Jamie is the creator of the Daily Deposits philosophy, teaching that extraordinary lives are built through the small choices we make every day. Through his work mentoring hundreds of young people and his authentic storytelling, Jamie challenges student-athletes to build their identity on who they are rather than how they perform, encouraging them to answer three life-changing questions: Who am I? Where am I going? What daily deposits am I making to get there? Jamie believes that while sports are something you do, they should never define who you are.
