No Dumb Questions podcast recently dropped an episode on Michael Jordan titled: Is Michael Jordan Happy.

Case in point: watch Michael Jordan's hall of fame acceptance speech. Would someone at the height of his career, success and popularity say what he said in his speech?

Although perseverance and motivation is important, I think Michael Jordan is unique in that he also embodies what it cost to reach such heights. The faustian bargain that he makes and the sacrifices along the way.
