Speaking on the state of men from an objective perspective. The justice system as we know it. Touching on male and female dynamics- does pandering to women work in the end?

Tapping in on the effects of A.I on creativity (specifically writing). Thoughts on J. Cole apologising after dissing Kendrick Lamar. Duty or Discipline.

Even in production, there is always time to have a conversation about life in my opinion. I think there is a lot to be said about such discussions relating to what we create as artists. I had the chance to sit down with an artist and a friend of mine. The Orbalist- find him now on his platform; www.instagram.com/theorbalist.

What is the meaning of self made? I would argue that you would find never taking no for an answer at the epicentre of what it takes. The need to accomplish. The self made creatives. Katherine Geraird the creative and business woman, it was a pleasure to hear her breaking down her journey, so much passion one could get lost in. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdwJUZ6DIvFdw09

How important is self-mastery for your growth? I had the chance to sit down with a special guest who shared a method of finding balance. A holistic specialist.

Lets talk about music! Jazz specifically. It's hard to quantify how much I enjoyed this discussion. Allen Paul is a master musician and we were able to delve into great depth within this discussion.
