“Money can make lives, money can break lives. The money won’t wake you up in the morning. It’s your drive and passion, that’s what gets you up in the morning.”
-- Earvin “Magic” Johnson, NBA legend, two-time Basketball Hall of Famer and the most successful African-American businessman in America, spoke to a group of students, faculty, alumni and guests prior to his April 1 lecture at Penn State’s Eisenhower Auditorium. The final speaker in the 2015 Shaping the Future Summit: The Power of Money series, Johnson addressed a range of topics during his visit, from taking on a leadership role in high school, making the transition from star athlete to businessman, and cultivating and protecting a personal brand.
