While most professional athletes are singularly known for their "sport," there are many athletes who possess a variety of other passions, interests, and strengths. Today, we talk with CJ Watson, former professional basketball player who not only excelled in his "sport" but found purpose in his investing, philanthropy and storybook writing. CJ leverages the platform he has built as a former pro athlete to enable him to pursue his other passions and make a name for himself outside of basketball. He is truly an example of a multi-sports athlete. Stay tune to this episode for a chance to win a signed and noted children's book authored by CJ himself.
