Episode notes

CEO is someone who can delegate and be totally comfortable with the delegation. They don't get pulled down a rabbit hole. Steve Jobs was kind of that odd, that odd, rare exception where he would go down those rabbit holes. And if it wasn't for that, like the iPhone would be a thing or anything. That was definitely a passion thing for him.

Maestro Stevens is an entrepreneur and brand strategist.

Maestro is the Founder of The Iconic Expressions, a brand marketing agency based in Cleveland, Ohio, that helps minority-owned brands connect with their audience utilizing marketing strategy and automation.

He is also the Founder of Iconic eLearning, an online education platform that teaches young minority entrepreneurs what they need to know about branding and marketing to start and scale their businesses.

We dive into Maestro's journey from music producer to entrepreneur, with many topics along the way, including:

Race and representation.
Entrepreneurship and adversity.
Travel and privilege.
Insecurity and mental health.
Content creation, fame, and cancel culture.
And lots more.
