111: Cheating Death - Activating Life w/Benny Pough Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

Benny Pough is one of the most successful record executives in the game. He's played a pivotal role in the music that moved hip hop as a culture and was instrumental in monster hits from Jay Z and Beyonce to Future, Ne-Yo to Kanye but a near fatal car crash almost forced everything to a screeching end.

Benny's brush with death motivated him and created a ferocious drive to inspire life in others. This experience led him to pen his first book "On Impact" and today on While Black you will be exposed to the kinds of inspiration that will cause you to show out and succeed.

If you have a goal in the back of your mind this one is for you - this one is about activation

Do yourself the favor and tune in now!!
