This week, we dive deep with George the Poet into his journey of self-discovery, the power of artistry, and the pursuit of meaningful change. Exploring ancestry and navigating the complexities of the music industry, George shares his unique insights and experiences. Learn how art can influence education, the significance of redefining success, and various paths to effecting change in society. Hear about his struggles to maintain his vision amid industry expectations, his first EP, and the liberation he felt upon parting ways with his label. He'll also share how he uses his platform for community work and connecting with others through his art. George expresses his skepticism about 'playing the game' within existing political and economic systems, especially in capitalist societies. He suggests that such approaches may not bring about meaningful change but only maintain the status quo.
