BREAKING NEWS: Adrian Wojnarowski walks away from $20 million contract | Episode 6

What makes someone at the top of their game walk away? In this episode, we unpack the surprising retirement of Adrian Wojnarowski—better known as “Woj”—the most trusted NBA insider and the man behind some of the league’s biggest breaking news.

After a 30+ year career and a $20M ESPN contract, Woj made the bold decision to step away from the spotlight, leaving behind a career defined by relentless hustle, sleepless nights, and an unmatched ability to deliver the news first.

But why did Woj choose to retire at the peak of his career? We explore how a diagnosis of prostate cancer, the death of a colleague, and the constant pressures of the 24/7 news cycle led him to rethink everything.

Woj’s story isn’t just about leaving ESPN—it’s about reclaiming his time, prioritizing his family, and finding joy in life beyond work as he transitions to his new role at St. Bonaventure University.

This episode isn’t just for NBA fans—it’s for anyone who’s felt the weight of burnout, struggled with balancing work and family, or questioned what success truly means. Through Woj’s story, we’ll examine the toll of being "always on," the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and how to find fulfillment beyond a paycheck.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to choose family over career and realign your life with what truly matters, this episode is for you. Tune in now for an inspiring conversation about redefining success and why no job is worth more than the people you love.
