“YOU CAN RIDE A WAVE OR YOU CAN START A WAVE.” If you don’t know Humble, he’s a Canadian spoken word artist and music video creator. His poetry is so powerful, even Apple used it on their commercials. He opened up with me on this episode about how being from a Sikh background, and the racism he’s faced, has both hurt and helped him in life. He also discusses some of the problems artists today face and how they they can overcome them. I really have to say that this is a powerful episode. You don’t have to be an artist to appreciate it. His knowledge and insights are important to anyone who is on the road to greatness, and anyone who wants to be a leader. So get ready to learn all about the power of words, on Episode 682.
