Episode Details

In today’s episode, I sit down with former basketball prodigy Schea Cotton to talk about Manchild, the documentary built around his rise, setbacks, and everything he learned along the way. We get into how being labeled “the next big thing” can distort your mindset, why mentorship matters when praise gets loud, and how faith, family, and resilience shape long-term success. Schea opens up about mental health, including a moment that nearly ended everything, and how he now meets kids where they are by asking a simple question: where does it hurt? We also talk about purpose, discipline, and why the journey matters more than the outcome.
