Never one to give up on his dreams, this proved true when he went undrafted and still stayed the course. An episode that reflects on the importance of manifestation and believing there is a light at the end of the tunnel, even when you cannot see it.

Rick Brunson

Tyneeha and Shea welcome former NBA player and coach Rick Brunson to the show this week. More than a player, more than a coach, more than a father to Jalen, Rick brings bounds of knowledge and instincts to those who have the pleasure to meet him.

We hear how sport literally changed his life, and how he was determined to make sure that his son learned from his mistakes in a life where “you strive for perfection, knowing you will fail”. An inspirational life built on the hard work ethic learned from his mother, this is an episode any one who loves the game must listen to.
