Meet Miles Weber

 

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Miles Weber. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Miles below.

Miles , thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

My resilience stems from a lifetime of varied experiences. From the mistakes of my youth to coping with unfortunate injuries, each challenge has shaped me. Coaching changes, the loss of family members, and achieving life goals against the odds have all contributed to my strength. Success in different aspects of life, coupled with the enriching experience of traveling and understanding diverse cultures, has further solidified my resilience. Every positive and negative experience has played a crucial role in forming who I am today, and I wouldn’t change a single moment of it.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

My name is Miles Weber, and I am a professional basketball player and entrepreneur. Over the past three years, I have played professionally in seven countries: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Argentina, Moldova, France, and Kosovo. In addition to my basketball career, I am the creator and CEO of Fully Feared, a clothing brand I launched in 2021. Fully Feared is more than just a brand to me; it embodies my story, resilience, and journey through basketball and life.

Beyond my clothing line, I am involved in various business ventures, including organizing events and basketball camps. Exciting developments are on the horizon, both in my athletic career and entrepreneurial endeavors. I will be returning to the court soon after the summer, with many new updates for my brand and other projects. Stay tuned for what’s next in my journey as an athlete, entrepreneur, and business leader.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Three crucial qualities that have significantly impacted my life are a strong work ethic, an open mind, and unwavering self-belief.

Firstly, a good work ethic is fundamental to me—it’s the cornerstone of achieving any goal. As the saying goes, “nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.” Success requires consistent effort and determination to advance and accomplish aspirations.

Secondly, maintaining an open mind has been essential. Life often throws unexpected challenges and opportunities our way. Being adaptable and receptive allows me to navigate through these moments effectively, even when the path isn’t what I initially envisioned.

Lastly, belief in oneself is paramount. In the face of setbacks and naysayers, maintaining a strong belief in my abilities has been crucial. Despite criticism or doubts from others, self-confidence and determination have propelled me forward, reinforcing the idea that with belief comes achievement.

These qualities have not only shaped my personal journey but also continue to guide me in my career and entrepreneurial pursuits.

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

The most impactful thing my parents did for me was always being there for me, no matter the situation. From being just one call away, teaching me valuable lessons, and instilling discipline, to supporting all my dreams and goals—no matter what they were—they have been my unwavering pillars of support from when I was a little baby until now. I love my parents; they are truly the best.
