• Kyrie Irving on Legacy, Disruption & Cultural Stewardship
    Sep 19 2025

    What does legacy look like when the cameras are off? Kyrie Irving joins Alexandria & Jordan to talk faith, family DNA, and why true impact often happens in silence.

    In this conversation, Kyrie opens up about navigating today’s internet era, the emotional weight of recent years, and how he chooses where and when to lend his voice. He shares how his parents and mentors shaped his compass, why “disruption” is part of his design, and how he’s weaving cultural stewardship—honoring ancestors, leading with God-love, and moving with intention—into everything from sport to fashion and art.
