Former Perth Wildcats star and 2014 NBL Grand Final MVP, Jermaine Beal, joins the podcast to reflect on his basketball journey—from his standout college days at Vanderbilt, to his championship-winning years in the NBL, and beyond. We dive into his time playing alongside future NBA and NBL talent like Festus Ezeli and AJ Ogilvy, his experiences in the NBA Summer League, and his journey through professional leagues in Europe and South America before landing in Australia. Beal shares his insights on playing for the Wildcats under Trevor Gleeson, winning two NBL championships, and setting records—including becoming the first player in the NBL's 40-minute era to hit 10 three-pointers in a single game, a feat that's since been matched by Chris Goulding, Bryce Cotton, and Dejan Vasiljevic. Beal also opens up about his short-lived stint with the Brisbane Bullets, the challenges of being released mid-season, and his final years playing in Belgium and Israel before transitioning into coaching. Topics Include: What is Jermaine doing now, and thoughts on the legacy of the Wildcats' 2014 and 2016 championship teams (2:00) His thoughts on how the NBL has changed since he played here (7:00) Transitioning from college to pro basketball and the challenges of overseas leagues (9:00) Playing overseas in Poland, Belguim, Germany, Brazil and comparing them to Australia (11:30) How Jermaine was recruited by Trevor Gleeson and the Perth Wildcats (13:30) Forming a lethal duo with future NBA talent James Ennis (15:00) His cold start to his first year in the league and how he turned it around to win Grand Final MVP honors and the championship by season's end (17:00) Returning for season two in 2015 and falling short in the playoffs (24:00) His third year with Perth and teaming with Casey Prather to win his second title (32:00) Leaving Perth to play with the Brisbane Bullets (38:00) Reflections on his career highlights and biggest challenges (45:00) Visit dunk.com.au for your next set of basketball uniforms.

Have Good Ripple Effect

Do you have a book idea, but just don't know where to start?  Hey there! Welcome back to the Have Good Ripple Effect podcast. Today, I want to let you in my my story and journey to writing my very own book. Now, calling myself an author feels a bit odd even now but I learned a few tips and tricks along the way to help get you started. :)  Let's be honest; the thought of writing a book can be daunting. I mean, who am I to write a book, right? We all have to face that limiting belief but that's just it—each of us has something valuable to share. For me, it was about turning my scattered thoughts on finding joy into something solid that I could hold in my hands. It started with conversations, those little "aha!" moments where people would ask, "Lisa, how do you do it?" That's when I knew I had something worth writing down. With a whole lot of sticky notes and a fantastic book coach who was part therapist, part cheerleader, I started organizing my ideas. Imagine my desk—post-its everywhere, each a tiny insight into creating joy that would soon be chapters.  And here's a little secret: I spoke most of my book before I wrote it down. Yep, I used a transcription app to capture my spoken words, turning them into the chapters of my book. (More about that tip in the episode!) If you're sitting on a book idea, thinking it's too big a mountain to climb, I'm here to tell you: just start. It's about getting those ideas out, however messy and unpolished they may be. Each word you jot down or speak into your phone brings you closer to sharing your story with the world. So, if you've ever thought, "Maybe I could write a book," why not start today? Grab that stack of post-its, or open a new note on your phone, and just begin. It's your thoughts, your story, your book. And trust me, it's worth sharing.

Blair developed Higher Consciousness Meditation after many years of meditation and yoga, and a traumatic year at a new job with a difficult boss who was abusing employees. This forced him to dive deep into his meditation practice to stay sane. As a result, he emerged with new, vibrant ways of coping with life's challenges. In short, he's an observer, yogi, and a toolmaker. An ordinary mystic. His books reflect as much. He describes himself this way, “I am an explorer who has discovered a variety of techniques, tools and ideas that I think you will find useful in your own personal development.  Here's an example of what I mean. From one perspective, each of us has a unique story in which we are born, live and die as three- dimensional characters here on Planet Earth.  Simultaneously, we are also Five Dimensional Beings having an Eternity experience in a human body on a planet that is a challenge to master, and which gives us an opportunity to grow and develop into Universal Citizens.” Blair was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, though he has spent much of his life in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though he received a Master's Degree in 1978, he never intended to be an author. Instead, he spent most of his work life as an entrepreneur and business consultant, though he began his yoga and meditation practices over 45 years ago and self-exploration has been his avocation. Blair has published 5 books on meditation, mindfulness, and other related topics. His website is at: HiCMeditation.com and includes sample chapters, a blog, poems and an ecommerce site called “Healthy Home”, a free book and a free chakra meditation bracelet. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/new-mind-creator/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/new-mind-creator/support
