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

Shooters Shoot (feat. JJ Redick)
THE Jonathan Clay Redick joins us this week on Point Forward. Even while retired from the game, JJ Redick still continues to be one of the most prominent voices on the hardwood and in media as he was one of the first athletes to build his own platform that is still so beloved to this day. A true father and coach, he hands out gem after gem on the story of his success and what’s next.
And just before we talk game, we had to step back and take a look at the Detroit Pistons approaching a new historic record as they continue to inch closer to one of the longest losing streaks in NBA history. Is this the most bizarre streak the guys have witnessed? And wait - but this ain’t a tank though? What the hell would they be tanking for?
