Rock Bottom Isn't The End w/ Derick Grant #269


Listen Later

In this episode, I've got a guest whose story could definitely change the way you see the world around you. He is Derick Grant, an ex-basketball player and the founder of the Life is Mental brand.

Derick was an athlete with dreams bigger than the court, but when he tried to turn those dreams into reality, everything fell apart. As many of us did, he hit rock bottom, not just personally but financially too. 

And he did it big time - when his business crashed, he was left in a mess so huge that even the FBI got involved. Yeah, you read that right.

But Derick didn't let this be the end of his tale. Instead, he took a hard look at his life, at the decisions that led him to where he was, and he realized that he could truly change his life only by changing his perspective. 

For the first time, it became clear to him that if he wanted to fix what was outside, he needed to transform what was inside. Through self-reflection and a hell of a lot of courage, Derick rediscovered his purpose and began an inspirational journey that he’s willing to share with us.

In this interview, Derick talks about his career, from playing with the Harlem Globetrotters to starting a basketball training company and eventually moving into coaching and motivational speaking.

We covered a bunch of topics:

- the impact of childhood experiences on adulthood

- the importance of authenticity and self-work

- the importance of self-love

- facing inner wounds

- accepting your true self

- communication in relationships

Tune in. I promise it’s worth it!
