We’re pushing and pulling…pushing and pulling…AND pushing and pulling, yall. *laughs*
Here’s a quick pod episode where I speak on some school things: push strategy and pull strategy. I understand these methods but reading it in the space that I’m in made the ‘ah haa’ light bulb come on.
I share my…vision…on how push and pull strategies apply to marketing…or whatever your involvement is with your purpose in life (shout out to the capitalist/’GET MONEY’ folks out there). I’m not near my book to reference it, but I’m thorough with it, so it’s good.
Enjoy. #TOTHETOP
Here's a quick word about how we question and second guess ourselves when it comes to the beautiful work we create...and we end up not letting it go for the world to adore. These words are confirmation that I go through it often, but I have to just throw it out and let it breathe.
Someone mentioned that when you do work, you might not get that instant appreciation from people. It might come a year from now...or even 20 years from now. That sat with me...along with some content I need to quit playing around with and throw out *laughs*. So yes creator...you got it and we appreciate your work. We'll support it when you release it. We're standing with you.
Power.

With that, I get into some administrative talk. If you have listened to past shows and talk to me in person (or virtual), I'm including the 'creator vs. admin' topic in said conversation. I share some extra thoughts surrounding this 'issue' and get three takeaways from what I've learned within the past month.
I also talk about The Groove Suite podcast and what I've been doing with that. You can check out the new episodes HERE. Enjoy the show and thanks for stopping by. Subscribe while you're at it. #TOTHETOP

The music world stopped, but me and my brother Dedrick Hicks, Jr. were going...on the voice messages! Why did it stop...??? Yeah...HOV DID *theatre music comes on*...BUT...is Hov DONE...*lightning strikes and lady screams*...???
We go through his powerful, and probably his best verse EVER that was on DJ Khaled's new album 'GOD DID'. Dee gives some wild theories, which I agreed with...we decide on where this verse sits at on the 'list'...and we enjoyed being amazed at the greatness Jay-Z gives us that some of yall don't even deserve...but WE DO *in Khaled voice*.

After a podcast recording with my friend Crowned ReRe for our show Flowers For The Culture, I left the recordings on while we went through some of Barry White’s music and celebrated him…or gave him his flowers. It started with us comparing White’s adlibs to Westside Gunn’s famous gun adlib…and it went from there. I figured that it would help me get back in my creative bag, and it did.

**The production you’re going to hear was me flipping the samples from Barry White’s music into a beat. These beats aren’t for sale…due to legal reasons…so don’t snitch…just flexing my creativity…enjoy**

Happy Summer, everyone. Summer Solstice is a special day/moment for me. It marks the longest day of the new season, and I love long days. With that, I recorded this reference one year ago...and (somewhat) releasing it today. No need to keep holding tunes. Enjoy and more to come.

We're BYKE with a fresh take on some thoughts I have. In this episode, we're speaking on me not wanting to be viewed as the worker. My surroundings have depended on me to produce their work (on their terms), and I'm over it...for now. I'm working on a new journey to becoming the person above the worker. Enjoy. #TOTHETOP

Today is the last day of the C4C Challenge! I made it *breathing HARD*...but it was a cool exercise to do. On the last one, I pulled a card from Pod Decks and it asked “What’s the most common reason for people failing or giving up?”...and I gave my perspective as to why. Serious talks here, but enjoy.
