Show Notes

Kobe Bryant, best known as the NBA superstar for his 20 year career with the Los Angeles Lakers and leading them to 5 championship rings, an 18 time all star and a man who coined the term Mamba Mentality and who displayed relentless work ethic on and off the court - was also a creative.  In the second act of his career, he began to build a new empire in the entertainment and storytelling world with one mission - to inspire the next generation.  Kobe combined his worlds and love for sports and fantasy with meaningful life lessons in the forms of podcasts, The Punies, and The Wizenard Series and also, film.
