PAUL PIERCE | No Fear of Failure Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

Ask Paul Pierce, and he will tell you: When you have suffered, when you have failed, when you have known what it is to be humbled — when you endure all of that and emerge on top, triumph is all the sweeter. The journey of the 6’7″ Hall of Fame forward, from the playgrounds of L.A. to superstardom and back again, is astounding both for its success and how it was achieved.

From his childhood through college and the NBA, Paul toiled on the court, working tirelessly on his game, never with fanfare, always with confidence. Throughout a 19-year NBA career, No. 34 was a consummate player, stalwart defender and offensive dynamo. At his peak, he famously faced up and defeated LeBron James and Kobe Bryant in the same championship playoff run.

An all-star, NBA champion and Finals MVP, he has lived up to the meaning of his nickname — the Truth — by staying true to himself.
