1:30
Speaker 1: Sixth Man, and it started your journey, you know, in Springfield, Illinois,
1:35
Speaker 1: and then you go through high school. You know, we're
1:37
Speaker 1: really started earlier elementary, middle school. You're talking about your

Speaker 1: brother Frank. And then you get to College of Arizona.
1:41
Speaker 1: You almost went to Arkansas and then uh Nola Richards
1:45
Speaker 1: he resigned and so you changed your mind with Arizona.
1:48
Speaker 1: So when did you start taking care of your body? Uh?
1:52
Speaker 1: I say, you know, you start having those conversations early
1:55
Speaker 1: in the league. I mean the league tries to practice
2:00
Speaker 1: much information into a week as they can, you know,
2:04
Speaker 1: because that's all the time they have. It's called the
2:05
Speaker 1: Rookie Transition program. And you hear that Moniker, you know
2:11
Speaker 1: if you if you brought a ferrari, would you put
2:13
Speaker 1: sheet gas in it? You start you start hearing out
2:16
Speaker 1: a lot. You can apply that to pretty much anything
2:21
Speaker 1: that you're doing, and say, you know, if you had
2:24
Speaker 1: a ferrarie, how would you treat it? You know, how
2:26
Speaker 1: many times would you watch it? You handwash it? You
2:28
Speaker 1: would handwash it, or you know, you would make sure
2:31
Speaker 1: they didn't get a scratch, or you will put the
2:33
Speaker 1: right fluids into it. Um, you will put the right
2:37
Speaker 1: things in any part of the engine, and you will
2:39
Speaker 1: put top of the line products with it. You know, uh,
2:42
Speaker 1: cleaning the tires, you're trying to use the best tier cleaner.
2:45
Speaker 1: So in terms of just my body, UM, I start
2:50
Speaker 1: to watch other guys and see what they were doing.
2:53
Speaker 1: And it took me, uh some years to find kind
2:57
Speaker 1: of like my niche and kind of fine what was
3:01
Speaker 1: optimal for me. And the big thing was just doing
3:04
Speaker 1: a lot of homework, doing my own studying, UM, surrounding
3:07
Speaker 1: myself with people who were sharing their knowledge, and it
3:13
Speaker 1: was about it was really when I started fixing my
3:17
Speaker 1: sleep and taking my behind the bed is when a
3:21
Speaker 1: lot of things change. And I said, okay, I'm not
3:24
Speaker 1: getting enough sleep, and I started studying sleep and saying, okay,
3:29
Speaker 1: you gotta get the eight hours a night, and these
3:31
Speaker 1: are the things that are keeping you up and these
3:33
Speaker 1: are the things that will help you go to sleep.
3:35
Speaker 1: Once you start with that layer, you get really in
3:37
Speaker 1: depth with one thing and it flows into a lot
3:40
Speaker 1: of other lifestyle things in terms of health. And from there,
3:43
Speaker 1: the the what I would started eating flowed into it.
3:47
Speaker 1: You know. UM, let's meet a lot like like almost
3:50
Speaker 1: cut out meat, h dairy, UM, sugar. Trying to working
3:55
Speaker 1: on that, which is hard, really hard to do because
3:57
Speaker 1: it's just so accustomed to having those things any married
4:00
Speaker 1: and diet and really a lot of us going back
4:03
Speaker 1: to tracing our roots and seeing you know, what was
4:07
Speaker 1: beneficial to um. You know, generations and generations before me,
4:14
Speaker 1: and where their diets are like and how that affected
4:17
Speaker 1: their body. Read a book right now called The Sports
4:19
Speaker 1: Gene and talks in terms of you know what genes
4:23
Speaker 1: different cultures have and how that affects are performances in
4:27
Speaker 1: different sports. And you know why Ethiopians and Kings are
4:31
Speaker 1: great at uh long distance and how Jamaicans are great
4:35
Speaker 1: at sprinting. And you know how diets can help and
4:38
Speaker 1: hand you or how a diet can help you compete
4:41
Speaker 1: with the likes of those cultures. So UM just really
4:44
Speaker 1: started to do my homework or anything um involving you know,
4:48
Speaker 1: whether it be basketball, whether it be business, and how
4:51
Speaker 1: I can be my optimal self. I ask you this, Um.
4:57
Speaker 1: We we're talking about your book The Sixth Man, but
4:59
Speaker 1: you as a person, what what view or what perspective
5:03
Speaker 1: of person would you would want a person to have
5:04
Speaker 1: about you as a as a man, as a as
5:07
Speaker 1: a husband, as a father, as a as a business person?
5:11
Speaker 1: What what? What? What? What? What image do you want
5:14
Speaker 1: to project when people say your name or you walk
5:16
Speaker 1: into a room. I think I just want people to
5:20
Speaker 1: realize that, you know, I'll do my homework. You know,
5:24
Speaker 1: I'm very focused on process. You know, it's it's not
5:29
Speaker 1: necessarily about the end results or you know, the money
5:35
Speaker 1: or the same for me, it's about seeing a journey
5:41
Speaker 1: or seeing and go. And I really enjoy putting all
5:48
Speaker 1: the pieces together to build that ultimate puzzle, you know,
5:51
Speaker 1: whether that be on the championship team or hoping the
5:55
Speaker 1: team be the best team that that they can be.
5:58
Speaker 1: You know, it may only be the team first round exit,
6:02
Speaker 1: but that we played our best basketball, We got the
6:05
Speaker 1: most out of every single person on the team. You know,
6:08
Speaker 1: that was a successful year for that particular team. You know,
6:11
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm trying to enhance anyone that I'm around.
6:15
Speaker 1: You know, tell for friends that or to business people
6:18
Speaker 1: that that I get close to, or invest in companies.
6:20
Speaker 1: You know, when I invest in the company and they say, well, us,
6:22
Speaker 1: you're bringing the table to the table. Besides, you know
6:25
Speaker 1: the financial side or did the equity And I say, however,
6:30
Speaker 1: I can help the company, And that may be putting
6:34
Speaker 1: you in touch with other companies that I invested in,
6:36
Speaker 1: or putting you in touch with UM power movers who
6:40
Speaker 1: can help you find a CFO or help you find
6:43
Speaker 1: the CMO. You know, I've tried to find a good
6:47
Speaker 1: network of people across the globe and UM just connecting
6:50
Speaker 1: people and UM building great products, building great companies. And
6:57
Speaker 1: it's been a great journey. It's sort of like being
6:59
Speaker 1: a gym one of you gotta find the right coach
7:02
Speaker 1: right right UM basketball development system to enhance the players. Uh,
7:07
Speaker 1: just bringing the best out of everybody. We know. The
7:10
Speaker 1: thing about when I was reading your book, the book
7:12
Speaker 1: is called the Sixth Band of Talking. I'm interviewing andre
7:15
Speaker 1: Iguadala in the book, and this New York Times best
7:18
Speaker 1: selling book. The thing that came across when you talk
7:21
Speaker 1: about your brother who was an amazing athlete. You talked
7:23
Speaker 1: about Jeff Walker, You talked about different athletes who who
7:27
Speaker 1: came along your life. You took what they what you
7:30
Speaker 1: felt they never took to the next level like finishes
7:35
Speaker 1: you talk about. You know, you read newspapers. You know,
7:37
Speaker 1: people walking a room and go, why why are this
7:39
Speaker 1: young kid reading newspaper because they thought that was add
7:41
Speaker 1: but you, but that was part of the house. You
7:43
Speaker 1: could read the newspapers your parents, your mom excuse me,
7:46
Speaker 1: your mom thought that was part of the growth process
7:49
Speaker 1: to know the world for real. I do that with
7:51
Speaker 1: my daughter. Always tell my daughter all my life, I said,
7:53
Speaker 1: sit down and look at the six o'clock news. So
7:55
Speaker 1: you want to know what life, look at the news.
7:57
Speaker 1: Don't look at those of that other stuff. But you
7:58
Speaker 1: gotta look at the news. And that was your mom's
8:01
Speaker 1: approach was the newspaper. My approach was the six o'clock news.
8:04
Speaker 1: And so when you look at the things that that
8:06
Speaker 1: you value and that you're growing And we got like
8:08
Speaker 1: fifty seconds left in this break, can you say real
8:11
Speaker 1: quick about what bothered you when you didn't see people
8:13
Speaker 1: with talent take advantage of it. Yeah, so I really
8:19
Speaker 1: we'll try to process that, especially at young age and
8:22
Speaker 1: you've got people order than you, um when you looked
8:26
Speaker 1: up to And what I found was, you know, you
8:29
Speaker 1: can become a product in your environment where you know,
8:32
Speaker 1: folks didn't expect you, you know, they generalized you. They
8:35
Speaker 1: didn't expect you to have success in the classroom. They
8:37
Speaker 1: didn't expect you to you know, have a mind and
8:40
Speaker 1: be able to speak it and be able to articulate it. Um.
8:44
Speaker 1: So for me, it was that it was a challenge.
8:45
Speaker 1: You know, I made that a challenge. You know, Okay,
8:47
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you that it's more than dribbling the ball.
8:50
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna be able to have success in
8:52
Speaker 1: the classroom. I'm gonna be able to uh spark a
8:55
Speaker 1: debate and be able to articulate you know why I
8:58
Speaker 1: feel the way that I feel, and I'm gonna learn
9:01
Speaker 1: as much as I can to be able to have
9:04
Speaker 1: success in those conversations. So it was just it was
9:07
Speaker 1: a challenge that I tried to put on myself and
9:10
Speaker 1: and completed. Cool, We'll be right back with more of
9:12
Speaker 1: my man entitled The book is entitled The Sixth Man.
9:15
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to andre igu Dollar I'm on the phone
9:19
Speaker 1: with They call him a six maid, and some people
9:23
Speaker 1: call a swing man because he can be all over
9:24
Speaker 1: the clore. He can be he can go the sinner.
9:27
Speaker 1: Sometimes he might go the power forward. Sometimes he might
9:30
Speaker 1: go on a small four. He might the shooting guard,
9:32
Speaker 1: he might guard the point guard, because he had that
9:35
Speaker 1: skill set like that. Every time you dunk, I would
9:38
Speaker 1: you had my spirit, you know, because you know, so
9:44
Speaker 1: many of us lived through your success, and so that's
9:47
Speaker 1: a responsibility when you have people like me or young
9:50
Speaker 1: young people like you talk about the legends when you
9:53
Speaker 1: got to play with the legends, and then you start
9:55
Speaker 1: mentioning the legends who directed you at a certain point,
9:58
Speaker 1: and you realize as you was coming up, you didn't
10:00
Speaker 1: think you belonged on the court. And then you people
10:02
Speaker 1: start checking you and you realized why they're checking me, well,
10:05
Speaker 1: because you're the baddest man on the court. So the
10:07
Speaker 1: realization of yourself you were just a humble guy that
10:11
Speaker 1: had this guard getting talent without the arrogance, am I right, Yeah, yeah,
10:16
Speaker 1: well you know, and we all go through those different
10:17
Speaker 1: moments in life, so I definitely, you know, try to
10:20
Speaker 1: find the balance and you know the scale with way
10:24
Speaker 1: one way and tip the other way. You know, I've
10:26
Speaker 1: had moments where I've had to check myself or I've
10:28
Speaker 1: always tried to put people around me who you know,
10:30
Speaker 1: hold me accountable, you know, be able to give me
10:33
Speaker 1: constructive criticism. But those things are really important to you know,
10:37
Speaker 1: the company that you keep. Um so there. I've had
10:40
Speaker 1: times where I've been too humble, and I haven't been
10:44
Speaker 1: I haven't had as much confidence as I should have
10:46
Speaker 1: in certain areas, and other times I got a little
10:48
Speaker 1: too cocky. But I found you gotta have the right balance,
10:52
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta be humble and put in that work.
10:54
Speaker 1: And sometimes you gotta go to the humble beginnings and
10:57
Speaker 1: put yourself in the mindset like you know, I'm just
11:00
Speaker 1: a kid at home, you know, trying to see the family.
11:03
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta you gotta put yourself in that mode.
11:05
Speaker 1: And other times, you know, in the core, you gotta
11:06
Speaker 1: tell yourself, look, I'm the baddest man out here. You know,
11:09
Speaker 1: I'm putting in the work. You know, I respected the game,
11:12
Speaker 1: I do it the right way, and I'm one of
11:14
Speaker 1: the hardest workers and I'm gonna show it out here.
11:16
Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody can you know, compete with
11:19
Speaker 1: me in certain areas of the game that I feel
11:22
Speaker 1: very confident. And so you just gotta have that right balance.
11:25
Speaker 1: You gotta always believe in yourself and um, I feel
11:28
Speaker 1: like I was surrounding myself with the right people to
11:31
Speaker 1: keep that thing balanced. You better have confident when you
11:33
Speaker 1: you know, when you were running up on Lebron, you
11:35
Speaker 1: know you get up underneath them running up on him.
11:37
Speaker 1: Now that that you man, you know, you're a special dude.
11:42
Speaker 1: And I say that from a standpoint of just watching
11:45
Speaker 1: your career, your body of work, and there's a professionalism
11:49
Speaker 1: that you carry with yourself because of the fact that
11:53
Speaker 1: you're a great player, but you were able to back
11:55
Speaker 1: down when you were surrounded by other great players to
11:58
Speaker 1: make the bigger picture work. And that that humbleness is
12:02
Speaker 1: a greatness and that has to be applauded. And that
12:06
Speaker 1: is something that I'm sure when you speak to people,
12:09
Speaker 1: you it has to be acknowledged that you know that
12:12
Speaker 1: a team works, a team wins, an individual just accomplished
12:16
Speaker 1: it is that correct in my assessment of you. I
12:21
Speaker 1: would like to think so, and I appreciate that, Um,
12:23
Speaker 1: you know, and it's it could be difficult to make
12:26
Speaker 1: those adjustments on the fly. And you know, sometimes you
12:31
Speaker 1: have transition into a position that's not as beneficial to
12:36
Speaker 1: you personally, but beneficial to the whole, whether it be
12:39
Speaker 1: a team or a company or a family or wherever
12:43
Speaker 1: you are. Um, you got to see the big picture.
12:46
Speaker 1: And and I'll tell you interesting story. I would have
12:50
Speaker 1: a lot of different conversations with people who were very
12:53
Speaker 1: supportive of me, and they would ask, you know, why
12:55
Speaker 1: don't you shoot this much? You know, you're just You're
12:58
Speaker 1: just as good as this guy. You know, why don't
13:00
Speaker 1: you get into shine that you deserve? You know? You know, Um,
13:03
Speaker 1: I've been in the gym with you. You shot you know,
13:06
Speaker 1: you made five hundred shots, Uh, every day for a summer,
13:09
Speaker 1: the whole summer. Too straight? You know, you could shoot
13:12
Speaker 1: the ball? Or why didn't you do this? Or you know,
13:14
Speaker 1: not understanding the process or not understanding you know the
13:17
Speaker 1: bigger picture and and and end game and end game
13:20
Speaker 1: is always too Like I said before, UH, maximize the team.
13:26
Speaker 1: And I was lucky to have a guy like Steve
13:30
Speaker 1: Kirr who went to University of Arizona, had the same
13:32
Speaker 1: coaches I did, so we spoke the same basketball language.
13:36
Speaker 1: You know, when he came in and start coaching us.
13:38
Speaker 1: It's it's usually difficult for guys to adjust to a
13:40
Speaker 1: new coaches like differently go different language, different verbics, and
13:43
Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, people trying to adjust on
13:45
Speaker 1: the fly. You know, it was seamless for me. I
13:48
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I get everything he said. We did
13:49
Speaker 1: these same drills in college. You know, he would Olsen talk,
13:52
Speaker 1: so I understood everything that he was trying to do.
13:55
Speaker 1: And when he told me, you know, I need you
13:56
Speaker 1: to come off the bench and uh, you know, to
13:58
Speaker 1: help our team have more depth there for you know,
14:01
Speaker 1: it's more balanced game. Over forty eight minutes. You know,
14:05
Speaker 1: I understood everything he was trying to say, and I
14:07
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I get that. That's that's nothing, and
14:09
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta chance to do some special you know.
14:11
Speaker 1: So you know, why not, um, just go along with
14:15
Speaker 1: the process and you know, have faith in it and
14:18
Speaker 1: see what happens. Going for the book, the sixth Man,
14:21
Speaker 1: one of the areas of the book that I've been
14:22
Speaker 1: followed you that's not in the book as much as
14:24
Speaker 1: you mentioned it. It's the tech investment side of you
14:28
Speaker 1: talk to us about how did you get involved in
14:30
Speaker 1: that and what is the future are you are your
14:33
Speaker 1: person that's uh, that's mentoring other NBA players or other
14:36
Speaker 1: athletes are students. What did your overall participation as a
14:42
Speaker 1: tech investor? Well, it started as a trade account. You know,
14:46
Speaker 1: you hear a lot of stories about athletes going broke
14:48
Speaker 1: or athletes not having that financial literacy that they need
14:51
Speaker 1: to have to have financial successes, you know, after they're
14:54
Speaker 1: playing days. So you know, I took it up for
14:55
Speaker 1: myself to like I said before, right stuff with the
14:57
Speaker 1: way people people that were going to empower you, people
14:59
Speaker 1: that were book accountable and make sure that you learn
15:02
Speaker 1: and you gotta hold yourself accountable too, and do your
15:04
Speaker 1: do your work, you know what I'm saying. Like I
15:05
Speaker 1: used to, like you said before, read the newspaper every day,
15:08
Speaker 1: and you know, you get you get the habit of
15:10
Speaker 1: being able to retain information and and read the newspaper
15:13
Speaker 1: and the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, all those publications.
15:16
Speaker 1: So I started e trade account, and you know, a
15:19
Speaker 1: business partner helped me, you know, pick a few stocks
15:21
Speaker 1: and then how do we track the stocks and understand
15:24
Speaker 1: why they're going up, why they're going down. I gotta
15:26
Speaker 1: understand the markets and how the markets work, and not
15:28
Speaker 1: just in in America, but globally. Everything is connected. And
15:34
Speaker 1: from there I saw that, you know, the iPhone came
15:37
Speaker 1: out a round the time, and I was having had
15:38
Speaker 1: all the Apple products, so I said, let me put
15:41
Speaker 1: some money Apple and you know, from there and start
15:43
Speaker 1: seeing the effects that Apple had on other companies that
15:46
Speaker 1: were up and coming um on on the mobile platforms
15:49
Speaker 1: and start investment in those. It's all some success there
15:53
Speaker 1: in the public markets. And you know, reading into it,
15:56
Speaker 1: you say, okay, hear about these private markets and who's
15:58
Speaker 1: going to be up for I p over the next
16:00
Speaker 1: couple of years. It's like private markets and you know,
16:02
Speaker 1: pique my interests and said, you know, how do we
16:04
Speaker 1: go deeper? And um, timing was perfect, being a free agent,
16:08
Speaker 1: having a few years investing under my belt in the
16:10
