Aloe Blacc – Together Is Better [Video]

“I believe in a simple idea: we grow more as individuals when we agree to help each other grow together. It is this simple idea that has served as the foundation of all my work…even how I try to live my life. In my songs I sing of optimism…positivity…and cooperation. So when I head Simon Sinek wrote a book called Together Is Better, I dusted off a little song I had written a few years earlier with the same title and offered it to him to help him spread his message.
