Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations, now hosting them requires
some show prep. My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.
What you don't have access to are my missed opportunities.
The show prep was completed, the conversation did not happen.
I keep all of my notes because I believe paths
will one day cross again. Let me explain missed opportunity.

(00:21):
It's my questions and statements without their answers. I'm leaving
open enough space at the end of each question hoping
they'll download the talk and insert those answers. Missed opportunity
is a lost piece of history, like a message in
a bottle tossed out to see. I hope to locate
a destination. This week, we're putting focus on my missed
opportunity with NBA star Kendrick Perkins. Okay, let's see what

(00:45):
happened here with this conversation. Kendrick Perkins former NBA star.
In twenty twenty three, he was part of the ESPN team.
He played basketball for the Boston Celtics, helping them to
win an NBA championship. Totally. He spent fourteen years playing
the professional game. Perkins or Perk, as he was called,
has a platform unrivaled by anyone else dominance in media outreach.

(01:10):
He deals with real issues such as race, class, political consciousness,
and fatherhood. He was raised in poverty by his grandparents.
His new book in twenty twenty three was titled The
Education of Kendrick Perkins. It bears the man's heart and soul.
It's more than wins and losses on that court. Going
up against the best actually made him one of the

(01:32):
greatest or best. The invitation to host a conversation with
Kendrick arrived on February twenty first, twenty twenty three. I
would be given seven minutes to help bring his word
in message forward. A zoom link was sent on the
twenty fourth of February. It was going to actually happen.
The morning of the twenty seventh arrived at nine thirty
four am. We were told the interview would be postponed.

(01:55):
We do apologize for this last minute confusion. The guest
has gone a wall. They were asked, would it be rescheduled.
The reply was yes, as soon as we have a
definitive answer. It never happened. It was my missed opportunity. Hey,
coming up next I still have the questions and the
statements and I'll share them with you. Kindrake Perkins, Hey,

(02:18):

focus is on NBA superstar Kendrick Perkins the book The
Education of Kendrick Perkins. Dude, you are not afraid of
activating your life experiences. You talk about the nineteen eighties
war on drugs in black communities. You're open with this

(02:40):
on your own at the age of eighteen. So many
NBA stars don't know how to handle their personal lives,
but you knew how to grow with your money. Here's
one thing you're not afraid to talk about. You left
behind the ghost of your mother and the shadow of
your father, making that choice to mentor future sports players.
What was that like? You believe inside your heart that

(03:01):
fatherhood is so so important. You lead in ways that
other men are empowered by. To engineer a fourteen year
NBA career, It's all about keeping the mind, body, and
soul in the game. How does your social media following
change your personal life's game? And there you have it,
