This week we are joined by BYU and NBA legend, Danny Ainge. Danny has seen it all in the world of sports. Triumphs, failures, dissapointments, and success. And his views are not just limited to just one sport and one title but rather in multiple sports and from multiple perspectives - as a player, broadcaster, coach, and general manager. He truly has seen it all and done it all many times over.
He transitioned out of sports as well as anyone after establishing a rock solid network of people who knew him for being him: a man with work ethic, drive, passion, wisdom, and even luck. Throughout the course of his career he has pivoted and moved around many times even up to his latest position with the Utah Jazz. Despite the constant changes he strives for continuation in one thing: Balance. Balance in sports, with his family, and with his faith.
Join us this week as we are luck to hear from a man who knows what it takes to thrive in very different stages of life and how to find and prioritze balance in your life.
