In today’s episode, I sit down with Ronnie 2K, the longtime face of the NBA 2K franchise, entrepreneur, and owner of LEVEL San Francisco, to talk about the story behind his documentary, The Most Hated Man in Gaming. Ronnie shares how growing up as the son of immigrant parents, facing discrimination, and finding confidence through basketball and gaming shaped his perspective on success and criticism. We also discuss building a personal brand, handling online negativity, the responsibility that comes with influence, balancing a fast-moving career with fatherhood, and why authenticity, resilience, and community matter more than public opinion.
