You really do need to spend 10 minutes with Lin-Manuel Miranda '02. Lin wrote and acted in In the Heights, a Tony-award winning musical that opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre earlier this year.

Lin's gettin' real famous these days, but he's mostly the manic, creative thinker and writer and freestyler that it seems he's always been. He's also got a lot of heart and some solid advice for those seeking success in creative endeavors. Check him out on youtube.com in this video. I promise that 10 minutes with Lin is worth making time for.

Check him freestyling in this promo for the play on Wesleyan's page too:
