S3 Ep18: My Dream was to be in the NBA and this Happened…

I’m honored to partner with #Same Here, The Global Mental Health Movement to bring you this episode featuring Christopher Wright - PRO BASKETBALL PLAYER & M.S. WARRIOR - Ambassador of #SameHere.



I was introduced to Chris by my dear friend, Eric Kussin, Founder of Same Here. As soon as I heard Chris’ incredible story of perseverance and leadership against the mind-blowing odds as the first NBA player to knowingly compete while battling Multiple Scleroses – I knew I wanted him to share his story with you.  


You can’t help but be inspired and energized by Chris and his incredible evolution. 



Chris has been a Professional Basketball player in Europe as well as NBA. He is co-host of The Dawg Talk Podcast interviewing former Georgetown Hoyas basketball players Jeff Green (Houston Rockets), Greg Monroe (nine-year NBA career) and other prominent figures such as Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets) and Quinn Cook (Los Angeles Lakers). 



In this episode you'll hear Chris talk with Shauna about these topics and more!

- He Never Had the Chance to Hide it

- Balancing His Family Life and Basketball as a Pro Athlete

- The NBA Hustle No One Talks About



Special thanks to our Founding Partners, Felica Hall Allen & Associates, Influence Media Agency, CMD Agency and Hijinx Agency.
