Amazing guests, unheard stories and fresh cuts. Just another day at The Shop.

This week, Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera chop it up with an exceptional group: Simu Liu, Tobe Nwigwe, Baron Davis and Calvin Johnson. Simu talks about his unique journey from being an accountant to starring in one of Marvel’s biggest films — establishing himself as a movie star. Tobe talks about his own experience in film, transitioning from football to music and his Nigerian upbringing. Baron breaks down being a multifaceted creative, navigating his passions outside of basketball and his firsthand experience of “Linsanity.” Calvin discusses his legendary NFL career, his relationship with the Lions organization and the importance of having confidence instilled at a young age. The guys also dive into entrepreneurship, their personal businesses and much more.

This is where culture shapes up. The Shop is presented by ‪@greygoose‬.

In LeBron James’ words...“Everything happens in The Shop.” The Sports Emmy Awardwinning series The Shop is back for Season 7! Stay tuned for new episodes.
