I feel like we're in this time now where, you know, this sort of the hallowed ways of like how you're supposed to do things and just kind of fall in a way. And I think it's beautiful because we can have space for the people who are from academic rigor that they're creating their written art from. But just because popular poetry has emerged and more people now feel like they even have the right to call themselves artists is also really beautiful. So it doesn't need to be combative. Just do your own thing and keep going.
Why is it that, so often, we need to be brought to our knees in order to wake up to, and reclaim, what really matters? And, does that have to be so? These are just a few of the questions we dive into with my guest today, Diego Perez, best known for his virtual moniker, Yung Pueblo, which is both a reminder to him to stay grounded in a younger, growth mindset, and also a contained to frame this current season of work as a project that doesn’t constrain his own personal and professional growth. Diego’s new book, Clarity & Connection, shares many of his recent insights about life, meaning, love, work, self-awareness, and of course, clarity and connection.
