Now we’re going to begin this hour with another exclusive interview with one of the greatest athletes of all time Serena Williams, the tennis legend. In this wide-ranging conversation, Williams shares insights into her life after tennis, her plans for her business, and her desire to expand her family. Joining her is her husband Alexis Ohanian as they give us a glimpse into their lives on their farm in Florida.
Serena Williams is known not only for her tennis prowess but also for her advocacy in promoting gender equality in sports. In her recent collaboration with Michelob Ultra for their Super Bowl commercial, she highlights the importance of equity in sports, particularly for women athletes. Williams emphasizes the need for genuine partnerships with brands that align with her values, making the Michelob Ultra collaboration a perfect fit.
In the interview, Williams reflects on her decision to step away from tennis and her transition into new endeavors. She shares her thoughts on the day after her last US Open match and the mix of emotions she experienced. Despite her success and achievements, Williams expresses her determination to continue pushing boundaries and challenging herself outside of tennis.
One of her greatest joys is her family, and Williams talks about her daughter Olympia’s desire to be a big sister. Although her dedication to tennis has delayed their plans for another child, Williams is excited about the future and balancing her personal and professional aspirations. She also discusses her passion for investing in diverse founders through her venture capital firm, Serena Ventures, and acknowledges the importance of women driving change in the investment landscape.
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian’s South Florida farm serves as a sanctuary for them and their daughter Olympia. Together, they cultivate a close connection to nature, growing fruits and vegetables and even raising chickens. Ohanian reflects on their relationship and how they complement each other, with Williams’s intensity and drive and his unwavering support.
As the interview comes to a close, Williams gazes at the tennis court on her farm and reflects on her journey in the sport. While she feels a sense of relief not having to train for hours each day, she admits to experiencing moments of nostalgia when looking at old championship photos. Williams remains firm in her decision to dedicate herself to new endeavors and embraces the possibilities that await her outside the world of tennis.

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience, you creat your own conditions, through your decision making ability. If you want good opportunities so you can make good decisions. It's simple. Start with small successes that you have complete control over. Continue that successful mindset throughout your day. People notice a positive attitude, and present opportunity to those who seem capable. Project capability, and when opportunity arises, prove your capabilities. There are rarely situations without opportunity, and those few unwinnable situations are completely of your own making, I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
Tomi and Kat are For It
love my sister <3
