When the founder of Akron's I Promise School, an NBA star, and "Just a Kid from Akron" appeared, a group of students at the school had a surprising first guest for their first kid-produced podcast.
The "Let's Taco 'Bout It" podcast, which was released on Tuesday, featured a wide range of questions from James about his favorite holiday to the video game he's currently playing.
By the way, it's Halloween and "Madden 23."
However, James was even taken aback by some of the questions posed by hostesses Aliza Blair, an eighth-grader; Christian Nurse, a seventh-grader; Dominick Townsend, an eighth-grader; and Jenisha Tamang, a seventh-grader.
When LeBron was growing up in Akron, the superstar was asked what guidance he would give him.
James hesitated at the question.
According to James, it's critical to look after your mental health. "Therefore, young people need to find someone with whom they can share their thoughts," he stated.
"Y'all need to talk with someone," he stated.
According to James, you should never hold things inside.
The celebrity was also questioned on how to handle failure. According to James, failure is a natural part of life.
"You are not always going to succeed," he stated. "But that doesn't mean you stop."
He explained to the children that there is a new opportunity every day.
James said, "Let's make the most of today." "You can't worry about yesterday because that's history and tomorrow is a mystery."
LeBron's legacy of "I Promise"
A number of inquiries focused on James' post-game legacy and his humanitarian endeavors in Greater Akron via The LeBron James Family Foundation.
James claimed that his work with I Promise was never about making headlines but rather a sincere desire to assist in removing obstacles so that Akron children might not only continue their education but also graduate from high school, possibly earn a college degree, or begin a job.
"I only care about the families and the kids we are helping," he stated. "That's all that matters."
James said that something new might be planned along East Market as construction proceeds to turn Akron's former Tangier location into House Three Thirty, which will include restaurants, a museum, and job opportunities for I Promise children and families.
"I want to see a nice big garden here where we grow our own vegetables and fruits," stated the man.
