#104 - Joshua De Schutter - Why Your 20s Aren’t For Winning

Joshua De Schutter sees poetry as the foundation of every art form, just words on paper that can make someone feel seen. From feeling lost at 19 to reaching millions, he shares how poetry became a way to articulate emotions people can’t name, why you can only create from what you’ve lived, and how “falling off” early on taught him to separate art from numbers. This is about faith, identity, pressure in your twenties, and learning how to play before trying to win.Timestamps:00:00 A Young Aspiring Poet01:44 Why Poetry Makes Joshua Feel Alive03:09 Being Homeschooled06:16 Mind Of An Engineer, Work Of An Artist11:57 Balancing Poetry & Life14:53 Writing On Surfaces & Collecting Ideas19:32 Becoming A Public Presence 24:07 Why Joshua Thinks He Was Able To Grow A Following So Fast31:10 What Feels Hard Right Now38:39 An Ideal Day In The Life  39:36 Joshua's Relationship With Faith49:18 Physical Fitness For Creativity49:56 Performing With Dermot Kennedy52:14 Culture Of Poets54:29 Joshua's Main Priorities56:28 Learn How To Play A Game59:55 Live Today, Connect The Dots Tomorrow1:00:55 Connect With Joshua De SchutterSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.
