Harvard i-lab | The Other Side Speaker Series w/ Tariq Trotter aka Black Thought

Here is our latest Other Side Speaker Series talk with Black Thought of The Roots. (There are a couple small audio problems with some of the questions from Dennis which we are trying to fix for a podcast version of the talk.) The Other Side Speaker Series engages innovation luminaries and creative visionaries from across the globe to share “the other side” of their journeys, their successes – and failures – and their perspective on what it takes to excel in today’s complex world. Tariq Trotter, better known as Black Thought, is the lead singer/MC and co-founder of legendary hip hop band The Roots. Although most of his time is spent on tour or leading The Roots as Jimmy Fallon’s house band on The Tonight Show, Trotter is also a fashion entrepreneur, a supporter of various charitable organizations, and much more.
