"Martin":

Not many people in the sports business know who Martin Kuchalik is but the people who work with him truly appreciate his knowledge and view on things. Martin is a communication expert and is hired by companies to observe and improve internal communication especially when taking the vertical communication from management down to its employees. The goal is always to create a platform of understanding each other better and cooperating in order to reach common goals...just as in sports.

Today, I tried to combine the two worlds and bridge the gap between the business world of communication and my basketball world, especially within the coach's locker-room as well as the dynamic between coaches & players.

We talked a lot about trust-based communication, brutal honesty vs honesty with empathy, how to ask powerful and open ended questions, cultural differences within a company and how to help understand each other better, how to deal with manipulation as well as patronization at the work-place and much more.

My favorite episode to say the least, we totally geeked out :)

"AntGoods":

Anthony is a former professional basketball player who played in a lot of different places around the world. He played four years at Stanford before transitioning to the DLeague at the time, making his way to Italy later on before coming back to the DLeague again. Later, he finally decided to take his talents to Europe as well as South America and played in countries such as Ukraine, France, Israel, Venezuela, Dominican Republic as well as Kosovo where he ended up finishing his career in 2020.

Today, Ant shared his experience of playing in Venezuela and how he almost got kidnapped upon arrival, his path throughout Europe and how open he was to new cultures and new experiences before deciding to retire. We also talked about our life as scouts on the road and the life in hotels and the challenge of finding a routine. Anthony also talked about the beginnings of "Swishcultures" and how he goes about living out his creative side of things, while also being productive in everything he does.

A multi-faceted personality with a variety of experiences and lots of fascinating stories to tell.

"Eskedar":

Eskedar is a good friend of mine and has been living in Vilnius first as a refugee before finally becoming a Lithuanian citizen. Today she shared her crazy and unique story of how she escaped an oppressive government in Ethiopia 19 years ago, got tangled up in an even more restrictive government in Khartoum (Sudan) until civil war broke out before ending up in jail in Lybia and then taking a boat to Malta to finally enjoy her freedom. She did this final journey while being pregnant and ended up in Lithuania with her boyfriend at that time. Meanwhile, Eskedar enjoys her freedom in Lithuania for 17 years now, is politically active and shares her story as inspiration for all people around Lithuania that anything is possible while also being a business woman in Vilnius.

Eskedar is running several Cafes in Vilnius where she is selling her locally roasted coffee beans from different countries in Africa & inviting people to traditional Ethiopian Coffee Ceremonies while creating her own community based on her native Ethiopian hospitality traits.

If you need an inspirational story as well as a good laugh and a new place to taste some Ethiopian Coffee in Vilnius, check this episode out and share it with friends who love coffee as much as we do!
