The Inertia

I had the distinct privilege of conducting an up close and personal conversation with the American Treasure that is Snoop Dogg at Google’s Zeitgeist conference. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and some of the world’s leading scientists all spoke, so how I ended up on the same roster is baffling. The theme of the conference was The Common Thread, as in the common thread that runs between all of us.

This was as much fun as I’ve ever had conducting a public conversation. You have more in common with Long Beach’s finest son and global ambassador of cool than you think. And of course I offered him a surf lesson. Enjoy.

“Start off with a boogie board,” said Snoop. “Go slow, baby.”

Editor’s Note: If you haven’t seen our (HEADSPACE) with Sal Masekela yet, you’re also in for a treat. He’s just as, if not more thoughtful, on the receiving end of questions as he is when delivering them. Get to know Sal a bit better here.

"You shouldn't be restricted. You shouldn't be put in a box," Snoop told Sal.

“You shouldn’t be restricted. You shouldn’t be put in a box,” Snoop told Sal.
