Today my guest is Quan Thompson. Quan grew up in California and Las Vegas. His mother was a drug dealer and his father wasn't in the picture. Basketball saved his life, keeping him away from gangs and violence and introducing him to his his teammate and best friend Landon. Landon’s family eventually adopted Quan. Landon's Dad, Coach Darrell, wasn't just a coach for basketball, but a life coach and the only Father Quan has ever known. We talk about his brothers murder, how he scrapped to make food for his family and how his life changed when he was in a family surrounded by love and joy.  Quan encourages us to love a little more, hug people, and to take charge of your own life. He was the first person in his family to go to college and has a happy life with his new son and beautiful wife Maryann.
