Chris Herren's story was publicized in 2011 through an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary titled Unguarded. It was the story of his rise and sudden fall of his professional basketball career due to substance abuse. The film also shows how Chris turned his life around.

The First Day is the evolution of that talk where he weaves in his experiences but truly makes it about the students he's speaking to and about their struggles.
