Episode 93 -

2-time NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic, recently reached the top of the basketball world after leading his Denver Nuggets to the 2023 NBA Championship.  An unlikely success story if there ever was one, Jokic's rise to greatness is one worth taking notice of.  As told in a recent ESPN article written by Ramona Shelborne, his is a tale of tapping into one's fullest potential through encouragement and hard work.
