The Doctor, The Businessman, and The Basketball Player

If you head to Wikipedia, you'll see a list of Shaquille O'Neal's basketball accomplishments. The list is over 30 lines long. Some lines include stats like 15x All-Star and 4x NBA Champion. Those 30 lines are edited for space.

But the more interesting accomplishments come further down the page. Dr. O'Neal received his Ed.D. degree in Human Resource Development, studied directing and cinematography, was sworn in as a Miami Reserve Officer, is a platinum recording artist, acted in multiple movies, and owns hundred of Five Guys and other businesses. Shaq is a big man in business.

It's no surprise that IT Leader and entrepreneur Jonathan Dixon was drawn to O'Neal. The surprise was how this Texas business leader got to the topic. JD goes hard in the paint as he discusses the influence of Shaquille O'Neal on his personal and professional life.
