"What do you do when your best isn't enough?" 

In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with former pro basketball star Chris Anstey to tackle one of life’s toughest questions. 

Chris opens up about the moments when effort, dedication, and passion still fall short, and how he’s learned to navigate these challenges both on the court and in business. 

He shares powerful insights on resilience, embracing failure, and finding the strength to keep pushing forward.

Standing at 7'0", Anstey enjoyed an illustrious career in the National Basketball League (NBL) and with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls. 

A two-time NBL MVP and three-time NBL Champion, he has since transitioned into business, applying his skills in leadership, teamwork, and resilience to the corporate world. As a mentor, speaker, and author of "TALL TALES," 

Chris shares valuable insights into hard work, opportunity, and achieving success in both sports and business.
