Show Notes:

IN-Q is a National Poetry Slam champion, award-winning poet, and multi-platinum songwriter. If you've ever heard him in person or came across his art, I know you've been hooked. He's even been named to Oprah's Super Soul 100 list of the world's most influential thought leaders. He's inspired audiences around the world through his live performances and storytelling. It's no wonder he has seen as much success as he has so far!

We talk about his new book, Inquire Within, and how IN-Q incorporated art into a book that tells an overreaching story. We also address starving artist syndrome, being present and grateful for what you do have, doing what you love in life instead of what you have to do, and so much more.

Question Highlights:

Where are the rest of spoken word poets out there?
Why is it so hard for poets to find a platform, and how do we fix it?
Do you remember the first time you got paid as a poet?
Why is there a stigma around starving artists?

What are you doing on your upcoming tour?
