Antonio Depina is the Founder of Overseas Basketball Connection, a Netflix star, and pro athlete. He played high school ball in Delaware and later went on to play at Liberty University. After college he would take his talents overseas and play in multiple countries such as Spain and Portugal. He went from being a professional athlete, to becoming an entrepreneur focusing on technology and real estate, to a Netflix star where he was featured on The Circle. In this episode of Too Be Blunt, we talk about Antonio's parents and how they came from Africa to chase the American dream. Antonio discusses his relationship with Basketball and how he decided to put it on hold for a year in order to "trust his gut". We talk about why Antonio feels that Lebron James is the greatest of all time and how he motivated him to pursue his athletic dreams. We talk about the losses and struggles Antonio has gone through since launching the app and how he has been able to self fund his venture. The Circle is currently available on Netflix where you can find Antonio "keeping it playa". Antonio and I talk about fear - his fears are disappointing his Mother or God. "America is the only country where you can be born poor and die rich" - Antonio Depina.
Welcome to Too Be Blunt. We look forward to sharing our vulnerability with you in hopes that it encourages you to go on your own journey of self-discovery.
