Fashion icon Steve Madden sits down with Angie Martinez to talk about growing up with nothing to being the name and face of a shoe empire. Steve explains what it’s like living life as an addict and how coming out of prison reshaped his view on life. Then he explains how different the music industry is compared to the fashion industry, as well as what it’s like to meet hip-hop royalty such as Jay-Z, Beyonce, and T.I. Finally, Steve answers questions from our IRL Bowl of Questions, and reconnects with an old employee (who now works for Angie).
