NBA All-star Kobe Bryant has expanded his domain into the world of sports drinks, but instead of being a paid celebrity face behind an industry he’s become all too familiar with, the retired Lakers veteran is now a business person behind sports drink startup BodyArmor. With ambitious goals to take on the industry-dominating Gatorade brand thatÂ’s owned by Pepsi Co. and Coca ColaÂ’s Powerade, Bryant turns to advice he received from serial entrepreneur Elon Musk.

Speaking with CNBC at the NACS Show 2017 in Chicago, Bryant recounts his time with Musk who founded and simultaneous runs Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company and NeuralNet. “Elon Musk I think is a genius by all accounts. I asked him one time about how does he learn.” said Bryant. As BodyArmor sets its sights on becoming the number one sports drink company by 2025, Bryant recalls the inspirational message Musk had for him.

“The amount of research, the amount of study he does is unheard of. But he’ll always say the most important thing is imagination. You can learn anything that you want to learn. You can study all these things that you have in a book, but if you don’t have the imagination and then take it to another level, it doesn’t mean anything.” said Bryant on the advice he received from Musk.

“I buy into Elon”.

Watch as Bryant explains how Elon Musk inspires him.

 

BodyArmor is making strides in the billion dollar sports drink market, receiving national distribution in convenience stores, sports clubs, and grocery chains. The company is expected to hit over $200 million in revenue this year, and was recently signed by the UFC as the championshipÂ’s official sports drink.

BryantÂ’s recent tweet revealing the companyÂ’s 110% year-over-year growth in convenience stores could be a signal that the aspiring sports drink startup is beginning to chip away at the $6 billion industry. With a figure as iconic as Bryant leading the charge and inspiration fueled by arguably one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time, Elon Musk, one could say that BodyArmor is poised for a slam dunk.

    • Should Christians place greater trust in human-created philosophies or should a genuine Christian ground their desires from the scriptural perspective on the frailties of the mind and body? Psychology often falls short when it clashes with personal beliefs, regardless of the intentions behind it. James 1:14, Romans 12: 2 It also acts as a guide to clarify misconceptions, such as labeling "shunning" as an evil act rather than recognizing it as a corrective measure or a personal choice. This suggests a misunderstanding on the part of experts, more so than scholars, regarding psychological matters. The forum is structured around Christian ethics.

    • The statement "A (cigarette) pack a day keeps lung cancer away" is completely false and misleading. In reality, smoking a pack of cigarettes a day significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer, along with many other serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illnesses. Smoking is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, and quitting or avoiding smoking altogether is the best way to reduce your risk.
