In this episode, I got to sit down with Paytience! He is a rapper who started off doing freestyles. It was nice to learn some new things about him because we’ve never had a real in-depth conversation before. When I see him out he’s either behind a camera or behind a mic. I like that people are different than they seem on the outside. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed making it.

This talk was actually very inspiring to me. I don’t know if it was just what I was going through at the time, but it seemed like a very much needed talk. We did thisinterview during Ramadan so a lot of the conversation is centered around religion, but I think more so around just being better than you were yesterday. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed doing it. Be sure to follow A13mando on all platforms to keep up with what they’re doing and stream Sanctuary.

In this weeks episode of Becoming Great I sat down with an amazing painter, Xevier Morton. This is the first interview I’ve done of a painter solely for his painting. Most of the people that I’ve interviewed have done some other type of art that did not involve their hands. But this is his bread and butter, the thing that keeps him going.   He really lives and breathes art so it was nice to get a peek inside of his mind. We talk about what it means to be an artist, what it’s like to take back the power of creating. We reflect on childhood, adulting, and being! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed making it. Follow Xevier on instagram @x.a.morton and me @imdime. I post new episodes of the podcast every Monday, so I look forward to seeing you again next week, until then keep Being Great! This is a public episode.

In this weeks episode I think about what it means to practice being yourself. I guess it’s something that I’ve always done but I never had much awareness geared towards it. This is my last solo episode for the next month or so and I think it’s a great place to leave off. I personally I am deepening in my practice of self and I’m using November to do that.
