It’s a big one, today on Working Hard, Hardly Working, we have the one and only will.i.am.
He’s a multi-platinum artist, he’s won nine Grammys, an Emmy and is an all-round incredible musician, both as part of the Black Eyed Peas and as a music producer. But what you might not know, is that he’s also a tech entrepreneur, and has been leading and investing in tech companies for over a decade now. I wanted to speak to Will about navigating two simultaneous careers, how they intersect, and what brought him to where his “career” lies now.
It’s such an honour to have Will on the podcast, I’ll be honest with you, I was pretty star-struck. Thanks so much for listening!
