--------
Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas shed light on why his podcast has outshined those of other athletes. Vlad commended Arenas for his perseverance, highlighting how many former athletes abandon their podcast projects early on due to the lack of immediate financial returns. Arenas attributed his success to a shift in mindset, likening the journey to starting from scratch as a nine-year-old rather than relying on his NBA fame.
Arenas credited a piece of advice from Dwyane Wade, who suggested approaching the media space as a beginner rather than as an established NBA player. This allowed Arenas to understand the mechanics of podcasting, build from the ground up, and appreciate the process. By treating the endeavor as a long-term commitment and embracing the required effort, Arenas has crafted a successful podcast, setting him apart from others in the sports world.
