Pau Gasol - Parenthood, Pro Ball, and the 'Pau'wer of Helping Others

Enlightened

Six-time NBA All-Star and two-time NBA Champion Pau Gasol comes on the show to talk about the importance of the international language of sports and share how his work as a UNICEF ambassador ignited an extraordinary passion for helping children. His life is full of surprising and moving anecdotes — and some funny ones, too! The story of Pau's coming to America is a touching tale of family sacrifice and the power of having a support system. He tells us about a heartwarming moment in the early days of his friendship with late teammate and legend, Kobe Bryant, details how hearing Magic Johnson was HIV Positive once inspired him to follow in his parents' physician and nursing footsteps, and divulges what it's like to suit shop with a seven foot wingspan. Pau lets us in on his experience with sports psychology and how he learned a love of reading and meditation from Lakers head coach Phil Jackson — and we discuss parenthood, legacy, and how detaching oneself from success and defeat can lead to a more purposeful life.
