You Are What You Are Player

Talent is just the beginning. It's the practice, the repetition, that builds talent into skill. Herman Wrice, comedian, breaks down the road to mastery in all things, from comedy to life.

This astute observer and self-reflective man was raised to value African and African-American culture. This entire conversation is about growth and development of self, of community and the United States.

Herman's favorite song is Allure by Jay-Z.

Favorite words, also by Jay-Z: Check out my swag' yo, I walk like a ballplayer. No matter where you go, you are what you are player.
