Summary
Will Smith is everyone’s guy. He went from multi-platinum rapper, to primetime sweetheart, to one of the world’s most bankable movie stars. And all while being a husband and father.

In this four part series, we’ll tell you how his drive to succeed at all costs, ultimately led to his undoing, and how he paid the price for allowing his need for control to guide his actions.
