We travel to Los Angeles to visit with Lakers owner Jeanie Buss. Considered “the most powerful woman in the NBA,” Buss reflects on her journey, from attending her father’s conferences as an elementary student - to her ascent within the Lakers. Jeanie also opens up about sexism faced in the workplace, the challenges of managing a family business, and the loss of her friend - and NBA icon - Kobe Bryant. We also hear from her now-husband, comedian Jay Mohr, on his battle with addiction, and get a sneak peek at how his experiences have integrated into his stand-up routine.
