Summary

Humble the Poet started out as someone who didn't know what he wanted to do in life. Then he became a teacher. He was good with kids. But there was too much bureaucracy in the job. So he quit. I asked him a bunch of "how" questions. "How did you quit?" "How did you start your side gig?" "How did you know you'd make money? or be successful." A lot of it was about following his intuition. And taking one step at a time. Which anyone can do. At any age. I'm going on a LIVE tour. Get your tickets!
