Jesse Chuku—better known online as Chewkz—has lived multiple lives: pro hooper, content creator, and disciplined student of self-reinvention.
In this episode of Beyond The Buzzer, co-host Aboudi Al-Qattan reconnects with one of his oldest friends for an honest, wide-ranging conversation on navigating life after sport.
Jesse shares his experiences playing professional basketball across Europe, and how stepping away from the game led him into the unpredictable world of content creation.
They dive deep into:
🏀 Life overseas and the realities of playing pro ball in Europe
🎥 The evolution of Chewkz and finding a voice in content
⚡️ Managing bursts of creative energy vs. moments of emptiness
🧠 The mindset behind showing up when motivation runs dry
🌍 Reinvention, purpose, and building something bigger than the game.
This is more than a catch-up between two friends—it’s a reflective, inspiring conversation about ambition, self-awareness, and pushing through internal resistance to stay true to your path.
If you’re chasing something, reinventing yourself, or navigating your own in-between phase—this episode will hit.👉🏽 Subscribe, Like & Follow for more:🔴 YouTube: [@beyondbuzz]📸 Instagram: [@beyondthebuzzer13]#BeyondTheBuzzer #Chewkz #JesseChuku #LifeAfterSport #ContentCreatorJourney #BasketballLife
