92. From Getting Cut to the Olympics — and Building Something That Lasts with Christian Honer

In this episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi sits down with Christian Honer — beach volleyball pro, entrepreneur, and host of the Champion Secrets and Athlete Disciples podcasts — to talk about what it really looks like to build an identity beyond your sport. Christian shares how he went from homeschooled kid selling websites door to door to representing the U.S. on the international volleyball stage, and how he's now helping athletes turn their knowledge and story into purpose and income.Obi opens up about his own journey too — going overseas with an ego that got him cut in three months, grinding his way to the Olympics with Nigeria and beating USA, signing to play alongside Victor Wembanyama the day before tearing his ACL, and how the one by one mindset became the only way he knew how to survive it all. The conversation goes deep on identity, pressure, faith, and what athletes owe themselves when the sport is over.📍 Topics covered:- Going overseas with the wrong mindset — and paying for it- From getting cut to the Olympic floor: Nigeria vs. USA- Signing with Paris Le Valois the day before tearing his ACL- How "one by one" was born out of a 12-month recovery- Why the pressure to return kept him from healing- Sports is not who you are — it's something you do- Helping athletes turn their story into purpose and income🎙️ Hosted by Obi Emegano – Pro Basketball Player & Olympian🟡 Follow Christian: @christianvball🟡 Follow Obi: @obiemeganoMake sure to follow us.WONBYONE MHP IG: https://www.instagram.com/wonbyonepodcast WONBYONE IG: https://www.instagram.com/wonby1ne/OBI EMEGANO IG: https://www.instagram.com/obiemegano/VISIT US :  http://wonby1ne.comPODCAST ON APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wonbyone-podcast/id1603115592PODCAST ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/62QmQX4OTyMcyReHoHo2bi?si=ef0f8b43c7b446f6Podcast Questions
