Spend an evening with Russell Simmons as he shares his life with you and true stories from his own road to riches. Whether we're in the boardroom or on a yoga mat, Simmons says, we have to be able to listen to our inner voices. Finding our unique potential, we can make the right moves, ruled by not money but by the joy of conscientious living and giving.
