From Underdog to Training NBA Hall of Famers — His RARE Blueprint for Winning in Life | PART 1
Fri Feb 06 2026
Ganon Baker joins the show to break down what it really takes to win — in sports, business, and life. From being an undersized underdog chasing an NBA tryout to building a decades-long player development career working with some of the best basketball players in the world, Ganon shares the mindset that carried him through it all.
We get into resilience, performance anxiety, routines, and the truth about “grind culture.” He explains how elite athletes like Kobe, LeBron, and Steph manage pressure, why repetition beats motivation, and how everyday people can apply the same tools to their own careers and lives.
This conversation goes beyond basketball. It’s about learning how to handle doubt, build confidence through action, and create a life built on purpose, discipline, and balance — not just hype.
