Before they were challenged, enter surprise guest, Questlove. The drummer, DJ, producer, culinary entrepreneur, designer, New York Times Best Selling Author and member of The Roots gave the students a little advice to find their greatest potential.
"I encourage going out of your comfort zone," Questlove said. He then offered a final tool to help their minds think freely. One he depends on himself: Meditation.
