Check out John’s latest book, It's Not Magic: The Ordinary Skills of Exceptional Leaders. John joins me this week to Highlight the Lowlights of growing up in Stockport, England, his unique journey into the NBA, and earning a PhD in psychology while playing in the league. With little exposure to basketball in England, John shares the memory of picking his first ball up at 17 and the moments after that changed everything. He also shares his experience as the first openly gay NBA player, and how he balances the pride of that milestone with the desire to be recognized for his basketball and career achievements.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Check out my new standup special “Live and Alive” streaming on my YouTube now! &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/PMGWVyM2NJo?si=SrhXjgzR1pe6CyYE"&gt;https://youtu.be/PMGWVyM2NJo?si=SrhXjgzR1pe6CyYE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE and watch full episodes of The Dew every toozdee! &lt;a href="https://youtube.com/@rsickler"&gt;https://youtube.com/@rsickler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; SUBSCRIBE TO MY PATREON - The HoneyDew with Y’all, where I Highlight the Lowlights with Y’all!
