For Motivational Use Only (feat. Todd Pedersen)

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.
