Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you finally reach the goal everyone told you was impossible… and find yourself asking, “What’s next?”NBA and international pro Mitch Creek joins Mariel for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about what it actually takes to build a career — and a life — at a high level.From growing up in a small Australian town and once being scared of the basketball, to earning his opportunity in the NBA and competing around the world, Mitch shares the mindset that has carried him through every stage: stay curious, keep learning, and be willing to get uncomfortable.But this conversation goes far beyond basketball.Mitch opens up about pressure, failure, being cut, leadership, relationships, therapy, mental health, identity, and the work he's had to do away from the court to become better on it. He breaks down how he mentally steps outside high-pressure moments, why great leadership is about creating confidence in the people around you, and why sometimes you have to be willing to go backwards before you can move forward.They dig into what it really means to be a professional — not simply getting paid to play, but becoming so consistent that the gap between your best and your worst gets smaller and smaller.And perhaps most importantly, they talk about the danger of believing the destination is the point.Because once you get there… what’s next?This episode is for athletes, parents, coaches, leaders, and anyone chasing something bigger. It’s about curiosity, consistency, self-awareness, discomfort, growth — and learning to love the process of becoming.Follow Mitch on IG Here!SHOW NOTES00:01 — From small-town kid to international proMitch shares how his upbringing, family, multi-sport childhood, and natural curiosity helped shape the athlete and person he became.03:12 — Curiosity might be the real advantageWhy you don’t need to be the best when you’re young — but you do need the patience and curiosity to keep learning.06:09 — Progress is NOT a straight lineMitch breaks down why development includes plateaus, setbacks, missed goals, mistakes, and sometimes going backwards before moving forward.10:53 — Break the big goal downStart with where you are, understand where you want to go, build a plan, and keep repeating the process.12:47 — Small habits create consistencyBig goals are exciting, but Mitch believes progress is built through simple actions repeated until they become automatic.14:32 — Everybody wants the outcome.
