For Motivational Use Only (feat. Todd Pedersen)

Author: Andre Iguodala & Evan Turner May 12, 2023 Duration: 1:17:24
You don’t always end where you start. For proof, look no further than TODD PEDERSEN. The founder of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. joins Point Forward hosts ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER to walk through his surprising journey, from growing up as one of eleven in a small town in Idaho, to founding a multi-billion dollar company. There were plenty of stops along the way, though, from a mission to the Dominican Republic, to selling pest control door-to-door, to sleeping on a friend’s couch. He goes in depth with the guys on how he got to where he is, the importance of family, his love of cars, and how Vivint ended up getting the naming rights for the Utah Jazz arena.  Plus, the guys get into some NBA playoff talk, explain about how they respond to hecklers in the stands, reflect on Bronny James’ decision to attend USC, and debate whether Patrick Beverley’s claim that half of the players in the league don’t really love the game.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In retirement, the bond forged on NBA courts between Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner finds a new outlet. Their Point Forward with Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner podcast is a direct extension of their on-court personas-versatile, insightful, and unafraid to challenge conventional wisdom. Named for the hybrid position they mastered, the show operates in a similar space, blending sharp basketball analysis with broader conversations about culture, business, and society. Listeners get an authentic, behind-the-curtain perspective shaped by championship experience and career longevity. The dialogue is free-flowing, often humorous, and grounded in the real-world transition from professional athletics to life after the final buzzer. You’ll hear their unique takes on current NBA events, player dynamics, and the intersection of sports with larger cultural forces. This isn't a sanitized media session; it's a candid exchange between two veterans who have seen it all and have the stories and opinions to prove it. Their chemistry is the driving force, making each episode feel like a conversation you’re overhearing in the locker room or on a long team flight. Tune in for a podcast that values depth over hot takes and genuine connection over performative debate, all filtered through the distinctive lens of their shared journey.
