Devin Booker’s maternal grandfather was from Mexico. He was raised by his Puerto Rican-Mexican mother, while his father, who is Black, pursued a basketball career internationally. Booker, who was just named to the USA Olympic team, is 24 years old and has been one of the marquee stars of the NBA playoffs this season. He dates celebrities and will probably be one of the most sought-after NBA stars for endorsements and commercials. I’m a fan of Devin Booker. I like his game and he seems to have a Kobe Bryant- like work ethic. Aesthetically, he also resembles Bryant, with a swagger to match. I predict that the Suns will win the NBA championship this year, and Devin Booker will be the first Latino-American to be MVP of the NBA Finals.
Some call it selfish; I call it the American way. In this episode, I break down why voting for policies that improve your life isn’t just your right—it’s how the system was designed to work. When we vote our own interests, we build a country that works for everyone.
Michael Jordan wasn’t picked first in the NBA draft—he wasn’t even picked second. Why? The Portland Trail Blazers hired for position, not for talent, and passed on the greatest basketball player of all time. In this episode, I explain why employers make the same mistake, and why the smartest leaders hire the best people they can find—regardless of position.
Politicians on both sides have overreached—ICE raids and the war on DEI have gone too far, and history tells us there will be a rebound. In this episode, I explain why attacks on Latinos may end up uniting us more than ever before, and why the backlash could be a turning point for our community.
