National Basketball Association superstar & Thirty Ink Chief Executive Officer Stephen Curry has a lifelong habit of betting on himself and winning big. When he was first drafted by the Golden State Warriors, there were no signs he would become one of the greatest shooters of all time and lead the club’s transformation into an NBA dynasty. Sixteen seasons in, Curry shows no signs of slowing down. Earlier this year, he added Olympic gold to his trophy cabinet and he’s been busy building a growing business portfolio. Now Curry is betting on himself again, working alongside Under Armour to build a label that may one day rival Nike's Jordan. Emily Chang speaks with Curry about how Silicon Valley helped shape his business approach, his long shots on and off the court and aspirations to own a basketball team one day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
