Our culture convinces us that to be an artist we must risk poverty, failure, rejection, or worse. The narrative of the “starving artist” keeps many brilliant, creative folks from even beginning to develop their innate gifts and talents. This podcast episode shifts that. Ayodeji (Deji or Dio) Oduwole is a musician, music producer, entrepreneur, and writer based in South Florida. Recognizing that succeeding as an artist/entrepreneur is more in the mind than most realize, Dio has made it his mission to eliminate all mental blockages preventing his success, and he has dedicated himself to helping his fellow artists do the same.  Listen in to learn how to conspire with the universe to achieve your dreams and be of service.
