051: From Photography and Psychedelics to Innovation and Entrepreneurship- Part2 Roberto Rabanne
Guest Overview
Born in Panama, raised in Brooklyn from age 13, a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, a self taught photographer who’s captured iconic images of music, art, and fashion for over 5 decades, is this week’s guest Roberto Rabanne.
In part two we delve into how Roberto continues to evolve his career into new multimedia expressions of his art as well as his pursuit of a new entrepreneurial venture that’s centered around the development of hemp-based products and in particular a new supercar the Rabanne 420.
