-

Success isn’t the finish line—it’s a launchpad. Join Bloomberg The Deal’s Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly for a dynamic conversation with Earvin “Magic” Johnson exploring how he is expanding his legacy beyond his basketball accolades to an innovative entrepreneur and philanthropic private sector leader. Aside from being a three-time winning NBA MVP, Olympic gold medalist, and one of the greatest athletes to ever play the game, Magic has shifted gears into sports ownership, numerous business ventures, and most recently as a part of the launch of LA Rises, a unified recovery initiative that brings together private sector leaders to support rebuilding efforts led by the city of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County and the State of California. Whether you're an executive, investor, or entrepreneur, this conversation will inspire you to think bigger about your own next chapter.
