Myrlin Hepworth - the freestyle is where everything is made

In this episode Monica speaks with poet, hip hop artist, advocate and educator, Myrlin Hepworth about the creation process, ego and its potential to sabotage us, expression and being present when you create. Myrlin shares his experience with teaching writing to inmates in prison and how art can help humans connect, as well as a discussion on vulnerability, risk, and daring to be authentic. They talk about the process of writing, revision and the art of crafting, and how to find universal appeal through universal truth. They dig into the difference between the desire to create a product vs being present in the process, an honest conversation about judgement, sharing our work, and need vs desire. _____________ To support Brave Musician, including the production of this podcast, please visit BraveMusician.com for information on our Pay-It-Forward model and how you can help. _____________ See the show notes at BraveMusician.com/podcast.
