Their session began with KD apologizing for creating a social media storm with tweets denigrating his former OKC coach and teammates. Durant called the tweets "ridiculous and childish" and said he had gone too far.

Ironically the topic of his fireside chat was how to control your brand. Everyone knows Durant is an NBA great but many don't know he has become quite an investor with at least 30 investments in his portfolio.
