My guest today is NBA All-Star and author, Dwyane Wade. Dwyane is a three-time NBA champion, businessman, TV analyst, producer, activist, and philanthropist. He played in the NBA from 2003 to 2019, primarily for the Miami Heat. He won three NBA championships, was a 13-time NBA All-Star, an 8-time member of the All-NBA Team, and a 3-time member of the All-Defensive Team. We talk about his life and career, as captured in his memoir “Dwyane”, during this podcast episode.

The 5 questions I ask in this episode:

What were some of your biggest challenges growing up in the South Side of Chicago and how did facing them help you become the person you are today? How did Michael Jordan’s career inspire you to become a professional basketball player? After having your own line of shoes with Converse and Nike’s Jordan Brand, why did you decide to work with Li-Ning on building your own brand? In what ways do you see yourself as a leader of the trans rights movement? What is your best piece of career advice?
