Philly-raised and Harlem-based, Earl Monroe is a Hall of Fame basketball player voted one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history along with being 1968 Rookie of the Year, a four-time NBA All-Star and a member of the 1973 New York Knickerbocker Championship team. After a successful career in basketball, Earl spent more than 30 years in the entertainment business, producing off-Broadway musicals and running his own record and publishing company.  He won the coveted Peabody Award for producing the critically acclaimed documentary "Black Magic", which helped launch the ESPN series, “30 for 30,” and the ESPN 10-part series, “Basketball, A Love Story”. As a restaurateur, Earl was involved with two restaurants, The Commissary and The Earl Monroe Restaurant/River Room.
 
With two honorary Doctorates, Earl is a frequent motivational guest lecturer, and authored two books, his autobiography, “Earl The Pearl, His Story,” and a self-help book, "Getting Back In The Game."  He now runs Reverse Spin Entertainment Group, a entertainment, sports and consulting firm. His most recent venture is the opening of the Earl Monroe New Renaissance Basketball Charter School, in the Bronx, NY. In addition to the basic high school curriculum, the school is focused on the supporting roles around basketball such as operations, facilities management, broadcasting, journalism, and digital media.
 
Join Earl and host, Brad Johnson, as they discuss Earl's tremendous basketball career including his time at Winston-Salem State College, the impact of Coach Clarence 'Bighouse' Gaines, adapting to a new role when joining the NY Knicks, and the relationship he has with his teammates to this day. We learn about Earl growing up in Philly where his grandmother ran a speakeasy next door to his house, and the violent incident he witnessed that caused him to shun violence his whole life. With giving back as one of his guiding lights, Earl discusses his namesake basketball school including the opportunities, support and people involved that are making a difference.

After years of lowering the velvet rope and pulling out chairs on both coasts for countless guests, Brad Johnson puts his warm, present and welcoming hospitality skills to use as the host of Corner Table Talk, covering topics spanning FOOD + DRINK + CULTURE. Following the guest conversation, international speaker, writer, and diplomat Ambassador Shabazz (eldest daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz) spends a few moments unpacking the discussion and lets us in on some of the interesting people, places, and things that have her attention in HOW WE MOVE.

Brad Johnson’s career in hospitality began in the early 70s in the dish pit of his father’s renowned NYC restaurant, The Cellar, followed by his subsequent storied road creating high profile establishments, from the lavish LA nightclub The Roxbury (yes, that Roxbury) to the Melrose Avenue soulful hotspot, Georgia, and the James Beard Award-nominated Post & Beam.
