IN-Q is a globally recognized, highly celebrated, and award-winning spoken word poet and multi-platinum songwriter who tackles themes like love, loss, forgiveness, and belief. His new book is called Inquire Within.
What you'll learn from this episode:
What IN-Q consciously does to ensure that his work remains true to the source of its inspiration rather than getting watered down by commercial concerns.
How Inquire Within is designed to take us on a poetic hero's journey through the modern sociopolitical landscape.
The powerful ability of artistic expression to alchemize internal pain into something others will find relatable and useful.
How the soul-taxing weight that unfettered consumerism and a constant need for external validation—exacerbated by technology that keeps us simultaneously connected to and disconnected from the world—burdens the human psyche.
What got IN-Q into the world of freestyling as a form of meditation on the mean streets of Santa Monica.
And so much more!
