Why I’ve Never Felt Like I Am Enough

Ive achieved everything I dreamed of — NBL champion, Olympics, NBA. And still, most days, a voice whispers: not enough. Becoming a dad made me look closer at where it comes from. This is the most honest episode I’ve created.

The Skill That Helped Me Keep Chasing My Dream When All Hope Was Lost

At 21, I thought my NBA dream was over. I dropped out, went home, and didn’t believe it was possible anymore. This episode is about the skill that kept me going anyway: long-term thinking. I share how a single idea from Mastery reframed my entire career, why belief isn’t required to keep moving forward, and how a skill I worked on for seven years finally showed up when I stopped measuring it too early. If you’re doubting yourself, stuck in comparison, or feeling like your effort isn’t converting yet — this episode is for you.

Failing, Frustration and Dangerous Expectations in 2025.

This week, I’m talking about frustration — not the obvious kind, but the quiet, corrosive kind that shows up when effort doesn’t convert into outcomes. 2025 was a year where I chased hard, worked hard, and still fell short of the goal I set for myself. And instead of motivation, what followed was resentment, burnout, and anger. In this episode, I unpack what I got wrong: how expectations quietly turned into entitlement, why frustration isn’t caused by failure itself, and how a simple idea from Buddhism helped me separate pain from self-created suffering. This isn’t a lesson about lowering standards or wanting less. It’s about learning how to pursue excellence without poisoning yourself along the way. If you’ve ever felt frustrated despite doing “everything right,” this episode is for you.

Flow, Fatherhood, and 47 Points.

I scored 47 points — a career high — five days after becoming a father. This isn’t a story about a “dad game” or confidence. It’s about presence, flow, and what happens when the noise finally drops away.

I wasn’t built by wins.

From the outside, success looks clean. From the inside, it demands a rebuild. In this first episode, I share how chasing my dream nearly broke me, and what I had to change to become the kind of person who could live with success. This isn’t about motivation or basketball tips. It’s about pressure, identity, failure, and the quiet inner work that turns ambition into something sustainable.
