184 - "ManTality" with DeWayne Foote (@zodonboys)

“Don’t go away from here without telling your story.” - DeWayne Foote   Today's featured author is spoken word artist and plumber, DeWayne Foote. DeWayne and I talk about his upbringing that taught him to ask boldly as well as what helped him become a spoken word artist.   Key Takeaways:  When you transform into a writer, it opens yourself up for other avenues. “The more I wrote, the better I felt.” Some parts of your character are ticked away until the right catalyst appears. Everyone needs a dose of reality. The dose is sometimes painful but necessary. Understand your audience and your cadence as a spoken word artist.   DeWayne's Book: https://www.amazon.com/ManTality-DeWayne-Foote-ebook/dp/B07467MJ9Q   The opening track is titled "King's Theme" by Asis Galvin.
