2015 NBA CHAMPION ( GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS) FESTUS EZELI. We sit down with 2015 NBA Champion Festus Ezeli. This episode was more than him just telling his story but it was also a huge teaching lesson for me. He runs his own podcast and brand called rebuilding the beast where he sits down and interviews people who have overcome great obstacles in their life, he uses these success stories to influence and motivate others to never quit and never give up. I met Festus personally just a year ago in preparations for the 2021 olympics in Tokyo Japan. This  podcast became more of a life lesson than I expected it to be, but as a student of life I used this opportunity to learn from a vet a man much wiser than me and picked his brain about his life experiences and some of the things he has learned during his journey.In this episode we cover :1m- Rebuilding the beast, how it started. 13m- Being so big, 6 feet 11 inches and needing a cartilage transplant, he had to wait for someone equally as big to to pass away for a cadaver transplant.24min- What it felt like finally holding the NBA championship trophy.34min- No matter your social class we are all humans who have emotions and feelings.39m- Meditation40m- Self love Make sure to follow us.OBI EMEGANO IG: https://www.instagram.com/obiemegano/WONBYONE IG: https://www.instagram.com/_wonbyone_/Visit us:  http://wonby1ne.comApple Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/wonbyone-mental-health-podcast/id1603115592Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/62QmQX4OTyMcyReHoHo2bi?si=ef0f8b43c7b446f6Podcast Questions

What's going on everyone and welcome to the wonbyone mental health podcast. My name is Obi Emegano founder of wonbyone and also your host for this show. I started this brand as a resource for mental health. As somebody who has dealt with mental health issues I believe one of the most beneficial ways to grow and learn from those situations is to open up the conversation and share your own experiences with others. You never know by sharing your experiences you may be helping someone else who is dealing with the same or similar issues. As I said earlier This podcast will be hosted by yours truly but I will be joined by a different guest each week who will be sharing their experiences with mental health. We'll dive into some of the methods, behaviors, habits and mindsets they have developed to help them live a healthy successful life despite the struggles they have faced. I want This podcast will be a safe place for people to come, learn and share their own life experiences. My hope is to normalize these conversations and remove the negative stigma that has been created by the society we live in. Mental health is something that we will all go through in some form or another during our lifetime and hopefully you will hear something on this podcast that you can relate to. Something that helps ease the pain you are going through and gives you the strength to keep going. Enjoy the podcast, learn from it, help one another and don't forget to practice self love. Peace. We are not at all professionals or giving advice, we are simply sharing our experiences in hopes to increase awareness and normalize conversations surrounding mental health.
