And in the second half of the show, Ray catches up with legendary music executive Benny Pough. The former Roc Nation Music President is here to chat about is first memoir titled ON IMPACT: Life, Leadership and Betting On Yourself. With ON IMPACT, Pough is poised to inspire others by sharing truths that guided him through years of unparalleled success - from intern to CEO. The unique collection of stories reveals the experiences which shaped him—from his business career’s humble beginning as an 11-year-old paperboy, to being scouted on a comedy club stage by a Motown executive, to sitting in the most coveted seats in the music industry. Pough takes readers on a journey; from the plateaus of rising through leadership ranks, to the valleys of overcoming the near-death car crash which almost took everything away. Pough also talked with Ray about his forthcoming It's Your Time Conference and more.
