Description: There’s a reason that RICK RUBIN has earned a reputation as one of music’s most talented, savvy and trusted producers over the last four decades: He’s thoughtful, insightful, inquisitive and self-assured. That much is clear throughout his wide-ranging conversation with Point Forward co-hosts ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER. Rubin — who has worked with everyone from Run-DMC and LL Cool J to Jay Z and Eminem to Adele and the Red Hot Chili Peppers — tells the guys about his upbringing, introduction to hip-hop, founding Def Jam and more, all while dropping countless gems on creativity, originality and finding your path. He released the book “The Creative Act: A Way of Being” earlier this year. The Point Forward podcast, hosted by former NBA teammates and current best friends Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, uses basketball as a pretext to honestly and openly talk about business, culture, race, tech, and, yes, sports. Specifically, over the course of weekly hour-long episodes that drop on #pointforwardfriday, Iguodala and Turner, discuss and debate current national and global events in a way that is meant to resonate with everyone from the Silicon Valley elite to teenagers on the south side of Chicago. 00:56 - The power of your environment in music and sport 4:30 - What we were raised on: Maxwell, Marvin Gaye, and the Motown Days 6:12 - Building the confidence to stand alone 8:45 - Understanding how meditation can empower your vision and sound 13:20 - How Rick developed his tastes in Hip-Hop, a predominantly Black space 16:19 - The beginning of history: Russell Simmons ????
