Russell Simmons Receives American Business Award

Simmons sat down for an interview with multiple media outlets after he received his award, including The Epoch Times, Huffington Post, and The Examiner. “My book is kind of a road map. It’s ... honest and an assessment of how I got where I am,” he said, referring to the recently published “SUPER RICH: A Guide To Having It All.” The entrepreneur started his career with Def Jam Records, considered the first serious rap label, that helped propel groups like the Beastie Boys and rappers like LL Cool J to mainstream success. In recent years, he has expanded into multiple fields, such as clothing, and has also started his own prepaid debit card, the Rush Card, which allows users who have been denied bank access to have debit cards. “I believe that we're spiritual beings in physical bodies. ... I just think that acknowledging what your going to give, this is a healthy way to wake up. You’re part of something big,” said Simmons, referring to the role spirituality has had in his life. He also discussed his efforts to bring meditation to more people, including an initiative to teach children in schools, which he said has resulted in higher grades and greater focus among students.
