Adrian Wojnarowski walked away from more than $7,000,000 per year.

The background, story, and lesson we should all understand.

-

Wojnarowski (Nicknamed Woj) was the leading ESPN insider for the NBA.

You know the guy that would break every story before anyone else.

The 1 AM signing or the 11 PM MRI result, he had the scoop.

ESPN paid the big bucks for that ~ $7,000,000+ per year.

Yet this year Woj walked away from it all.

-

You see he was recently diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer.

A diagnosis many have said was caught early enough for treatment.

Yet, it wasn't just his diagnosis that made him walk away.

No, it was the funeral of Chris Mortensen (ESPN insider).

-

You see in May, Woj went to Arkansas for Mortensen's memorial service.

The thing that struck him...

How many ESPN colleagues didn't make the trip.
In the end, what matters is your family and friends.
The fact that no one cared how many stories he had broken.

A few months later Woj walked away from that $7,000,000 ESPN salary.

-

My friends...

Your career does not define you.
Your wealth does not define you.
Your level of "fame" does not define you.

In fact, the world will quickly forget all of those things when we are gone.

Yet what defines us is our impact on the people closest to us.
