Simu Liu, Tobe Nwigwe & Calvin Johnson On Cultural Differences & Strict Parents | The Shop S7
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 multi-faceted creative, navigating his passions outside of basketball and his first-hand 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.

Don’t disrespect Shang chi like that. He ain’t just the Asian.
SO MUCH RESPECT for Calvin Johnson - anybody who can make the best decision for themself despite the pressure of an entire city, fanbase, and industry to do otherwise is an amazing individual.
