“What am I going to do to create lasting positive transformation? Everyone has that opportunity. And I think everyone should recognize that you should not ever quit or doubt your ability to make something positive happen.”
You might know Aloe Blacc as a famous musician. But did you know that he’s also an activist, a non-profit founder, and a biotech entrepreneur? Aloe proves that no matter what skill your known for, you just might surprise yourself with how much more you're capable of doing.
In this episode, Aloe sits down with Van to discuss all the work he’s been doing – from fighting for greater police accountability to advocating for immigration reform through his music. Aloe is always willing to take on different challenges to make the world a better place. Stay tuned to hear Aloe’s take on who should run in the 2024 presidential election. It’s not who you might think!
