Dean Tolson was an unbelievably talented athlete. The man could jump out of the gym, and couldn't be stopped on the basketball court. He came from a poverty stricken area, and his mother who worked tirelessly to help the kids, had to make some very difficult decisions in her life when Dean and his siblings were younger. (You'll hear this in the interview)

All of this helped build him into the man he became. The one problem with his recruiting process, were his grades!

Dean struggled in school. And we'll hear about his college experience on how he was able to remain academically eligible to play in College until he was drafted in the NBA. Dean was truly illiterate and struggled to read and write. This came back to hinder him as he got older.

We'll hear about his NBA experience and what it was like playing at that level, and the differences between the NBA then and the NBA now. What was it like playing for Bill Russell who drafted Dean to the Seattle Supersonics? We get to hear all the stories today.

Upon finishing his basketball career, Dean made a choice (thanks to his mother) to go back to college and actually take it seriously this time. He realized he needed an education and that he wouldn't make it far without one.

Not only did Dean end up going back and having success, he ended up getting his Masters Degree and graduating Magna Cum Laude!!

Now the best part about all of it is, Dean has written a book about his journey and all that he has overcome! He's sharing it with the world. It's called:

"Power Forward: My Journey from Illiterate NBA Player to a Magna Cum Laude Master’s Degree"

I would love for all of you to take a look at the book and purchase a copy today!
