- Robert F. Smith, the billionaire Black businessman and philanthropist, invited co-hosts Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner to spend a day with him in the intimate and cozy confines of his historic Lincoln Hills, CO, home. Over the course of the conversation, Smith spends time explaining how software programmers are alchemists, the joy of making something out of nothing, the importance of giving back to your community-as he did and continues to do with his donation to Morehouse and The Giving pledge- and shares the most important things he’s leaving to his children. The care and thought Smith puts into every single word is evident from the first to final minute of this rousing conversation.
Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner are great friends. They’re also former NBA teammates whose versatility on the court endowed them with the nontraditional position that also happens to be the title of this podcast. But that’s not all. Extend those gifts off the court and you’ll find two truth-tellers who keep their finger on the pulse of sports, business, and culture. Each week join in as they unleash sharp analysis on everything from sports headlines & tech innovations to book reviews & internet memes. Throw in a rotating cast of some of the world’s most elite players, authors, musicians, and entrepreneurs, and Point Forward is a podcast taking the athlete conversation to the next level. Candid. Unconventional. Witty. Welcome to the future.

This man is what we need in leadership in the world. Not these self serving selfish politicians
His confident humility is spine straightening and inspiring
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Very well said.
One of the best interviews by the billionaire and philanthropist businessman. It was great hearing his phenomenal ideas that are most definitely brilliant.
This was an incredibly informative and underrated episode. I'm happy yall got the opportunity to do this.
So grateful for all the education y’all give me. It expands my humanity and consciousness. Helps me teach my children how to love and help others who may not have the same privileges they do. I learn so much about finances from all the guests you interview, and share your episodes with my husband who is a business owner.
On another note, Iggy, you’re one of my guys. I know you don’t love that nickname, but I’ve been calling you that since 2015 and I like to pretend we’re friends. I cried multiple times when you had to leave our team. I followed you on the Heat while I cheered for our injured Warriors. Then I bawled like a baby rejoicing that you were back. It is what I had been praying for. Thanks for giving us another year. You have such a brilliant mind and incredible heart. Thank you for giving all that you give to our Warriors, to your community, and to people like me. So grateful God made you. Keep up the great work! You’re doing incredible things.
How dare you praise this disgraceful person. The criminal acts he admitted in writing were the largest in US history, which involved money laundering and tax evasion. Whatever money he gave away, he stole from the rest of us.
Legend!!! Keep up the great work fellas. Robert is a genius for us ✊🏽
Phenomenal to hear from Robert
This was a GREAT episode and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for inviting Robert F.Smith. This was inspiring, educational and certainly an eye opener. Really enjoyed the interview and will save it to watch again. I need to digest and process what I have learned here and come back and watch again
I really appreciate the variety of backgrounds you have in your guests. Thank you.
Remarkable interview! 💥Felt like I was back in business school. Great to see Robert Smiths impact in business expansion and development for community. Maybe the players association could set up something for the players children to create some of the educational and investment opportunities smith spoke of.
!!
This man is sure a great role model
This is the correct model for overcoming systemic racism and disenfranchisement not relying on government for ALL aspects of our progress. Gov needs to ensure laws and entitlements are not punitive against us. Then we need more meaningful investments into our communities. Shared this interview with my teenage children and will buy “Standing at the Scratch Line”. Beautiful. Powerful.
Excellent work!
Great great video, time well spent going to watch it next time through with pen and paper handy. Thank you guys for this as well as the spot on questions! Stay blessed!
That’s last part Robert hit them with won’t sink.
Billionaire Robert Smith is the real Macrinus from Gladiator 2!
Very thought provoking episode. Keep up the great work
Robert Smith and Don peebles. Our heroes in our community
What he said went over thier heads ... I understood it all I'm glad 😊 I will open mine soon.
Great content guys.
Amazing interview, so informative
This is the man. 💯🔥
I listened to this interview, BUT had to come watch the video when Robert Smith said, “What’s a Pelle Pelle?” Mannnnnn! 😂😂😂
I almost fell off my damn bike! #Comedy
This was an amazing interview. My partner sent it to me and I'm so glad he did. Reviewing InternXL for my kids.
*I hope Robert F. Smith knows the more he has these discussions on RUclips… the more power he places in the planet?*
Thank you.🤝🤝
Mad game 🚀🚀
Andre's son is smarter than they are giving him credit for. The knowledge he can get from his dad while they ride and eat is worth more than $100
HOT take! 🤣
Path way to their world dynamic
😂your beautiful world
The ATL episode on this is hilarious and very thought provoking
On what?
@@youdontknohoopshutup7952 I believe it was loosely based on this guy and others like it who only give scholarships to African Americans to help the community
❤He my AI
JT Pocket Watcher did a great job of giving you balance of Mr. Smiths background.
How this video ain't pass a million views what we really doing selling out this supposed to have at least 2 million views already hm
Hardest pod out!
I hope people understand how important and powerful the systems are that Mr Smith outlined are. Equally important is his mantra "keep moving" which goes against self pity and being a victim, which is necessary in order to make the ultimate comeback.
People thought I was nuts when I talked about how good Sacramento would be before the season started. I actually got an apology the other day...from a coach. As I write they are eating the Nets like cornflakes. Outside of GSW, Portland and Sacramento are the teams I have my eye on. GPII is coming!
Mr. Poole is officially on one. Spread that wealth brotha! He is starting to take an interest in defense. He has no clue how good he could be at it. Gotta be careful slamming into the backs of bigs on rebounds. He's getting away with it now but it won't last. Work!
JK had to be broken down for sure. Don't underestimate the influence Poole has on him though. Dre and Dray are his OGs but he watches Poole closely. When Poole is lackidazical on D , JK follows that lead and gets benched. Wanna be cool, jog around and be in and out of the rotation or go all in and play all the time. It is hard and easy all at the same time. If he tried to guard like Dray he would always play.
Why Klay isn't shooting 90 percent from 3 I don't know. While we're at it, Dubs should go 82-0 too. But since they lost a few, trade everyone! People have no chill! Klay is building. These fans, critics and reporters think you should peak in November. Uh...NO
Draymond is focusing on lack of calls and arguing every hit. Layup package is slipping a little because of it. Jailhouse style! His game is beautiful when he keeps his mind clean. Nobody does it better. Push that thang, rise above chump refs. They can't let you start the season 15-0. 46 free throws against the Champs talks to us. TV types acting like that was real. We know what it is...
I went in the crates to watch some old Steph. Like first 3 years in the league. Couple moves (8 or so) in there he could bring back, especially with cats stealing his sauce...CJ and Bane types for example.
Dub beat writers are feisty!! Ever heard that TI song "I want it now" ?Relax.com. Sheesh
Fantastic episode!!

Crazy how people are trying to argue student forgiveness
