Summary

Baby don't hurt me for the cheesy (but very appropriate) title. You'll just have to listen in. Talking points: love, family, growing up as an immigrant, community, vulnerability, business, self-love vs self-respect vs self-esteem Huge honor to sit down with Humble the Poet last month. This was a fascinating and engaging conversation. I deeply appreciate his creative, spiritual, and energetic approach to one of biggest human questions: what is love, really? Kanwer Singh aka Humble The Poet is a Toronto-bred MC/Spoken word artist with an aura that embodies the diversity and resiliency of one of the world’s most unique cities. With tattoos, beard, head wrap, and a silly smile, Humble commands attention. He stimulates audiences with ideas that challenge conventional wisdom and go against the grain, with dynamic live sets that shake conventions and minds at the same time. Humble's distinctive style and point of view have also been featured on popular television program CBC's Canada Reads, and took home top prize. He was also featured in Apple's first Canadian ad spot for their #ShotOnIphone campaign. Humble's latest EP titled Righteous/Ratchet features the first single H.A.I.R, a celebration of women of all shapes, sizes, hair, and walks of life. His self-directed video for H.A.I.R has amassed almost 2 million views since its release. The video features YouTube sensation and longtime collaborator Lilly Singh. Humble's first book, Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths For A Better Life, was published through Indigo Press in October 2017. It became a Heather's Pick and has stayed on the Globe & Mail Bestsellers list since its release. Unlearn was re-released with Harper Collins Publishing in April 2019. Humble's next book: Things No One Else Can Teach Us was released in the fall of 2019. His latest book is titled HOW TO BE LOVE(d): Simple Truths For Going Easier On Yourself, Embracing Imperfection & Loving Your Way To A Better Life. Humble offers insightful stories from his own deeply personal experience with love and down-to-earth advice on the most important lesson he’s ever learned: love isn’t found or earned, it’s realized.

0:00.0	All right, team, welcome back to The Man Talk Show or welcome for the first time.
0:14.0	I'm Connor Beaton. I just wanted to start off by saying, welcome to 2023. I realized that I
0:18.6	hadn't done that in the previous two podcasts, because
0:22.4	there's already been two episodes that have dropped. One is with Ryan Mickler, where we talk
0:26.8	deeply about masculinity. I want to have a follow-up conversation with him about some of the
0:31.6	challenges and problems that men are facing. And then I also talked about the myth of male vulnerability,
0:36.2	which is actually a chapter and a
0:38.2	concept that I dig into in my book. So if you haven't done so, definitely head on over and pre-order a
0:44.6	copy of the book. It'll be live on January 31st. The pre-orders help a lot. So if you're waiting
0:51.0	until the book is live, my one ask is that you head on over and you order one today.
0:56.2	Because the pre-orders do help to let publishers know the book is in demand, which is it, which it is so far.
1:02.1	It's going great.
1:02.7	So thank you to everyone that's out there.
1:04.5	I also wanted to just say a big thank you to all of you for making 2022 the best year ever in the Man Talks podcast. We almost doubled our
1:15.1	downloads last year. And that was largely through you. And it was interesting because last year,
1:19.3	I was hit with a little bit of a dilemma in the sense that I love doing this show. I've been doing
1:24.2	this show for several years now. And I've interviewed some really phenomenal people,
1:28.7	and I've had the fortune to have some conversations with some people that I really respect and admire.
1:34.8	But the show just wasn't kind of getting the traction that I wanted.
1:38.1	And I have a lot going on in my business and my life.
1:40.8	And so I was debating what to do with my time and my energy and my resources.
1:45.7	And so last year, I said, well, I'm just going to put a little bit of, I'm going to apply a
