Today I am joined by THE Voice of all the Big Guards out there, that's right I have Big Guard himself, Juan Bates. His Instagram and YouTube Channel has become the premier platform for small guards.

Big Guard is more than another hooper; he is one more excellent example of a player that won’t shut up and dribble - a rebel with a cause. His cause is to use his Big Guard platform to inspire, motivate, and elevate athletes that face hurdles similar to those he himself experienced.

Almost all athletes when they step away from the game have a hard time finding their footing. If you are a regular to the show you know I speak on this at length. Big Guard is a great example of someone continuing to use basketball as their vehicle to inspire change to other hoopers coming up.

Juan and I talk about the art of the hesitation as well as the NBA reopening next week! Although we both seek to inspire and empower the next generation we have different approaches and ideas on how to do this. Juan and I take the Bus off the rails when diving deep into the pandemic and best ways to combat the virus.

Please check out Juans work below.

I created The Bus Driver Experience as a way to gain a new perspective from the unique lives of other people - Olympic athletes, monks, porn stars - to not just learn, but EXPERIENCE what it’s like to be in their shoes for a day.

And do it in a way unlike how every other travel/interview show does it. Most other shows merely talk with these individuals.

But talking with these people isn’t enough for me.

I want to live their unique story. To understand not only what they go through in their day to day, but also why they’re doing it. Follow me on YouTube for videos of the experiences with my guests, and other content.
