Mike Safo with former NBA player and motivational speaker, Chris Herren

Joined today for a quick 15 minute phone call with former NBA player and motivational speaker Chris Herren. Chris calls in while driving into NYC (the audio is a little choppy) to promote his new film “The First Day”, a follow up to the 30 for 30 “Unguarded”. Chris and I talk about how much has changed in his life in the last 8 years since “Unguarded” premiered. We touch on the challenges today’s youth face with drugs, mental illness and bullying. Chris talks about using the film as a conversation starter for families, his friendship with Chris Mullin and the message that he wants the film to deliver. With such an important and powerful message be sure to check out the film tonight and follow https://twitter.com/c_herren http://chrisherren.com/ https://www.instagram.com/c_herren_/
