Listen as Meyers shares his inspiring stories.
In this episode you will hear:
- I’m just a normal, blue-collar dude, who’s been thru the struggle, on and off the basketball floor.
- 2 things that help get me by – no matter what: My character and my work ethic.
- How can I help my team? Selflessness.
- There’s no chance I’m giving up.
- I want shit to get tough, because that when the mental edge takes over.
- Patriotism runs deep in my family.
- I can support the military because of my connections to it, but I still understand that there are issues in America, and I can support my teammates and what they have felt in their lives.
- I could’ve quit – I gave it 7 years – Then I went from getting booed to crowds chanting my name.
- People think that because I’m 7 feet; I’ve got millions of dollars; I drive nice cars – everything is great, but I’m still a normal human being. Sometimes things are hard.
- You are gonna get your opportunity and you better be ready.
- I wanna be known as a man who did something for someone else.
