The itmakesenz Series
The itmakesenz Series is a narrative podcast about what happens when the identity you built your life around disappears.
Across 40 short episodes, I share my story, from boarding school as a kid, to navigating elite institutions, to playing professional basketball overseas, to the emotional aftermath of retirement and rebuilding myself.
This series isn’t about success stories. It’s about the invisible cost of pressure, the identities we build to survive, and the moment life forces us to become someone new.
For anyone in transition, questioning their direction, or trying to reconnect with who they are beyond achievement.
Start with the intro for the full journey.
If you’re looking for conversations around fitness, mindset, and movement, check out my previous podcast "Fitmakesenz: Mindset & Movement Experience."

Episode 18 (Arc 2) — The outsider advantage
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What felt like a disadvantage becomes awareness most people never develop. I explain how being the outsider builds emotional intelligence, presence, and clarity.
