Send us a comment about the Be a Baller Podcast Episode. Thanks for support.

This episode brings the fire of Doc West’s journey from a C student with setbacks to a four‑degree educator who refuses to let labels define his future. We talk about work ethic over image, the Five P’s—Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance—and how mental capacity is trained through small, repeatable habits. From gratitude to morning mantras, Doc shows how purpose rides with you through rain, criticism, and those long days when quitting looks convenient.

We also dig into the power of circles: who’s in the room, who gets your flowers, and who quietly lowers your ceiling. Dream busters are real—sometimes in your feed, sometimes at your table. The move isn’t to argue; it’s to build better rooms. That’s why we spotlight role models and mentors who raise the standard and remind us that accountability is a team sport. Legacy becomes practical when you choose inputs with care—voices, routines, and environments that align with your vision.
