Welcome back to the Giant Ideas Podcast, Season 2! Today on the podcast we are joined by Rick Fox - businessman, actor, three-time NBA Champion and captain of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant at the LA Lakers.

Elite sport was part of Rick's life from an early age - his mother was an Olympic athlete. Rick's own NBA career went on to span 13 seasons, from Boston Celtics in 1991, to captain of the LA Lakers, captaining three consecutive championships from 2000 to 2002.

Then, Rick did a different kind of pivot. He decided to leave basketball entirely and join the acting and producing world, securing roles in major films and television series such as Denzel Washington’s "He Got Game," appearing as the villainous loan shark on "One Tree Hill", and on "Ugly Betty" - he has worked across virtually every major television network with over 30 years in front and behind the camera. Ten years ago he moved into business, starting first an e-sports franchise, and now joining the climate tech world, as founder & CEO of Partanna - pioneers of green cement.
