Speech - Social Impact and Entrepreneurial Leadership in Music

Speech has successfully balanced creative innovation, social impact, and entrepreneurial leadership. As the founder and frontman of the groundbreaking hip-hop group Arrested Development, he helped redefine the sound and message of rap with Grammy-winning hits and award-winning videos that emphasized unity, culture, and positive change. Decades later, his influence continues to reach audiences around the world. In addition to touring (he just played Bottle Rock in our backyard) and developing new creative projects, Speech is a sought-after keynote speaker, sharing his insights on leadership, creativity, resilience, perseverance and purpose. Hosted by Jon Leon Guerrero for the Getting the Gig Series of the Break It Down Show, produced by Pete A. Turner and Larry Lemas.
