Be the Story You Want to Tell

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I sit down with former NBA players Tarik Black and CJ Miles to discuss storytelling, authenticity, mentorship, and the transition from professional basketball into new pursuits. CJ explains why the best storytellers must live the story first and how years on the court shaped his creative work as a writer and photographer. Tarik shares lessons from Kobe Bryant, including how purpose, passion, and strong mentors can guide the next chapter. We also talk about the humility required to become a beginner again, the value of integrity in business, and how curiosity transforms fear, challenges old assumptions, and creates a path toward growth and lasting expertise.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
