She was 90 pounds, broken, and sure her life was over—long before her name became one of the most recognized brands in the world. Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels, joins Robin John and Chris Broussard for one of the most vulnerable conversations this show has hosted.

Anne grew up in Old Order Amish in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, before a market stand with $6,000 in ingredients became a global franchise of over 2,000 locations. Along the way: the loss of her 19-month-old daughter, years of secrecy following abuse by a trusted pastor, a marriage nearly lost and then rebuilt, and a God-moment pretzel recipe that changed everything. Robin and Chris open with some Celtics trash talk before diving into a story that's as much about brokenness and faith as it is about franchising and business.

This is a story about what it costs to build something real—and what it costs to finally tell the truth.

Laila Mickelwait tested Pornhub's upload system herself and found no one was checking who was in the videos, how old they were, or whether they'd consented. What followed was a six-year fight that forced Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal to cut ties with the world's fifth-most-visited website and led to the removal of over 50 million images and videos.

Robin John and Chris Broussard sit down with Mickelwait—co-founder and CEO of the Justice Defense Fund, author of Takedown, and the woman behind the Traffickinghub petition—to explore chapter five of The Good Investor: "Fighting Dragons." They cover the mechanics of how she pressured credit card companies into action, the private equity firm now defending Pornhub under the name "Ethical Capital Partners," what 27 states are doing on age verification law, and what it actually looks like for an investor to use their capital as a tool against exploitation rather than for it.

This is one of the more sobering conversations the show has hosted, while also being one of the more hopeful about the power of investing to make a real difference in the face of evil. Mickelwait leaves listeners with a clear answer to the question every Christian investor should be asking: what am I rooting for, and what am I willing to do about it?

He was the sixth pick in one of the best draft classes in NBA history. He earned roughly $108 million across three NBA contracts. And two years after he stopped playing, he filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Robin John and Chris Broussard sit down with three-time All-Star Antoine Walker for a conversation that starts with basketball and moves into the real story: a real estate partnership that fell apart during the 2008 recession, a Vegas gambling story that became national news, and what it actually took to rebuild. Antoine speaks candidly about the financial pressure of fame, the friends and family counting on him, and the faith that brought him back from what he calls a low point.

Robin lays out his framework for the difference between investing and gambling, and reflects on identity—what happens when your work isn't the thing you thought it would always be. Antoine now speaks to college and pro athletes through the NBA Players Association and Morgan Stanley's Global Sports & Entertainment group about the mistakes he made and the ones he sees the next generation of NIL-era athletes about to repeat.

Greg Brenneman has turned around Continental Airlines, Burger King, Quiznos, and PwC Consulting. But the framework that changed his life the most wasn't a business plan — it was a one-page plan for himself.

Robin John and Chris Broussard sit down with the Executive Chairman of CCMP Capital and Home Depot board director to talk about eulogy virtues versus resume virtues, why Home Depot bet $11 billion on its own employees during COVID, and the moment when, at 45, Greg realized his faith had gone lukewarm. The conversation moves from boardrooms to Scripture to the Knicks' championship run—and lands on a simple leadership rule Greg has carried through every crisis: absorb fear, exude hope.

Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or just trying to figure out what actually matters before you're 85, this episode gives you a framework you can use today.

The dominant vision of Christianity in the West—souls evacuating to heaven—is not what the Bible actually teaches. NT. Wright has been saying this for 40 years. In this conversation, he finally gets to say it to an asset manager and an NBA analyst.

Robin John and Chris Broussard sit down with Dr. N.T. Wright, Senior Research Fellow at Oxford and author of The Vision of Ephesians, for one of the most theologically dense and practically grounding conversations the show has produced. The episode moves from the Greek word for "poetry" in Ephesians 2:10, to how the early church grew through neighborly action rather than doctrinal export, to what it means that the church is called to be a "small working model of new creation." Robin pushes into what this means for Christian investors. Chris pushes into what it means for the church's racial and cultural fractures.

If you've ever thought seriously about your work, your faith, and what you're actually building — this one is for you.

Chris Broussard and Robin John sit down with Mark Cuban to talk about the businesses he has been proud to own and grow - not just for their success, but for the good they have done in the world. From his favorite Shark Tank investments to affordable pharmaceuticals, Cuban shares how innovation is shaping society for the better.

They also got Mark's thoughts on the economic impact of the NBA, the future of AI, and Jordan vs. LeBron.

This is where it started: two men in Times Square, sharing how they were led to their unique spheres of influence.

Robin John, co-founder and CEO of Eventide Asset Management, and Chris Broussard, sports analyst and commentator and founder of The K.I.N.G. Movement, introduce themselves and the show that lives at the intersection of values, basketball, and investing.

Robin shares the full origin story—growing up in Kerala, South India with his grandfather, a Pentecostal pastor, in a home with no indoor bathroom and nightly power outages.

He also shares the moment that changed everything: working in Mumbai in his mid-20s, watching a colleague tell a cook named Kamal that servants shouldn't use the front door—and Kamal turning to Robin and saying, "Sir, I am a human being too." That moment is where he recognizes his calling.

Chris shares his own story of calling and work journey—why a sports media personality belongs in this conversation, what he's observed about values and money in the sports world, and why Antoine Walker's story might be the most important one they tell this season.

Together they preview the guests ahead: Isaiah Thomas (the one from the Pistons), Antoine Walker, Auntie Anne of Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Mark Cuban, theologian N.T. Wright, and David Greene of Hobby Lobby. And they close with NBA Finals predictions that reveal exactly what kind of show this is going to be.
