Vin Baker was an Olympic basketball player and four-time NBA All Star. The journey from University of Hartford to professional basketball got him rich quick, but it was a lifestyle he couldn't keep up with.
Baker's struggle with alcoholism is well-documented, as is the fact he blew through $100 million. He lost his home and restaurant.
But Baker's on a new path now. He's getting his masters degree, he's a minister, and a manager at Starbucks.
This hour, we talk to Baker about his life, his regrets, and what he's looking towards in the future.
GUEST:
