Chris Paul spent 21 seasons in the NBA, but he started planning for what came after in year three. In this recorded conversation from Cannes Lions, the 12x NBA All-Star and 2x Olympic gold medalist sits down with LinkedIn Editor-in-Chief Daniel Roth to unpack how he built a snack company, a media studio, and an investment portfolio while still playing 82 games a year—and how those decisions set him up for the boardroom now that his playing days are behind him.
Explore why Chris pushed for equity instead of endorsement checks, how he assembles teams with complementary skills he can actually delegate to, and why he’d rather have a hard conversation early than let a bad hire linger for two years. Take away a clearer sense of how to prepare for your own second act—long before you need it.
