Straight to the Bank… of America (feat. Dean Athanasia)

Author: Andre Iguodala & Evan Turner January 19, 2024 Duration: 1:05:28
Today, hosts Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner are talking about their favorite topic with someone who knows it best, Dean Athanasia, the President of Regional Banking at Bank of America. Dean has been on the forefront of some of the biggest business moves that have kept Bank of America ahead of the industry - from digital banking to building genuine communities with their customers. And one of his biggest attributions to how he's learned to lead the way? His time playing football.  In the continued celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. *week, we had to shoutout two very important groups: our young, black NFL Quarterbacks (Stroud, Love, and Fields) and the group chat. And because it's a #BusinessFriday, we're tapping into one of the biggest questions thats been circulating around...what does living inside "your means" actually mean? Tap in!

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.
