Welcome to a new episode of The Founder Podcast. In this episode, I’m joined by the man who made auto-tune a musical masterpiece - T-Pain! This episode pulls no punches, exploring the raw journey of a legendary artist. We'll delve into his humble beginnings, the challenges that tested his limits, and the successes that proved his status as a genre-bending icon. Prepare for unfiltered honesty as T-Pain reflects on his life, his music, and the impact he's had on the industry. Don't miss this chance to see the man behind the mask - an episode that's as real as it gets.
Highlights::
"Money won't solve your problems. It solves your financial issues but not your problems."
"You get to see where people's parameters are; you get to see if I'm down, everybody's cool... But when you get successful again, it's like, 'What makes you so good?'"
"Speak. Say the weird thing. Just do it. Just go. When you say it out loud, it creates problems in the past; when you hold it in, it creates problems in the future."
