Dave Meltzer here. I got to sit down with Ron Artest. Who's that? Meta World Peace, former

MBA Star and entrepreneur. So interesting Meta World Peace, such a huge Michael Jackson fan that he changed his number to 37 because that's

how many weeks thriller was number one. Also understanding the perceptions and

misperceptions that most fans have about his path to the NBA, a really wild ride.

Finally, how trusting a teammate got him into huge trouble with the famous Kobe Bryant.

All of that and more here on the playbook.

This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook,

where each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes, celebrities,

and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional

playbook to success and what made them champions on the field and in the boardroom.

I'm your host and CEO of Sports One Marketing, David Melzer.

This is Dave Melter with entrepreneur, the Playbook, and I'm so excited not only because I'm a Lakers fan but I am a humanity fan

absolutely and met a world peace here with me on the playbook. Thanks so much for

joining me. Thanks for having me it's been overwhelming to be able to have this type of you know access to all these entrepreneurs all this new

startups and you know established companies and like yourself IBM. It's great for me. It's my first really big conference, you know, attended it.

You know, it's interesting because I ran a big sports agency and I always say athletes live two deaths,

you know, when you stop playing and then when you actually

die yeah it's true and the transition is not easy because you spend so much time to be

the world's best at something yeah and then people just expect, you should know everything about business.

It's like doctors and lawyers.

They think, okay, you're a doctor, you're smart, you're a lawyer, you know, you're the world's

best athlete.
