Having left the basketball court for the boardroom, Earvin "Magic" Johnson has successfully parlayed his skills and tenacity as an athlete into the business world as chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises. Johnson has continued to make history as a co-owner of teams in the NFL, MLB, WNBA, Major League Soccer, the National Women's Soccer League and eSports.

His investment company focuses on fostering economic empowerment in urban communities through sports, real estate, infrastructure, financial services and consumer brands like SodexoMAGIC, UIC's dining and food services partner.

Join Chancellor Marie Lynn Miranda as she chats with Johnson about the influence his college journey continues to have on his success as an athlete and executive.
