In our 100th episode, we dive into creativity and unexpected connections with DEONRAPS, a multifaceted artist from Queens. We met DEONRAPS at CultureCon, an event that sparked new friendships and meaningful opportunities. This episode unpacks building genuine communities and the importance of intentional relationships in the creative world.
Navigating networking in creative spaces like CultureCon is both exciting and challenging. DEONRAPS and I reflect on the surprising connections in the music and arts industry, highlighting the small-world nature of creative networking. We also explore moments backstage at the Made in America concert. DEONRAPS shares his experiences meeting icons like Raekwon and Jay Z , emphasizing the balance of admiration and professionalism in these encounters.
Our discussion also dives into today’s digital landscape, where content creation and artistry intersect. We question whether everyone is inherently creative or if true artistry requires a specific intent and vision. Finally, we discuss personal growth, overcoming fear, and finding supportive friendships that encourage us to push boundaries and embrace new opportunities.
