347. From Club Promoter to Podcast Star: Ken AKA Mr. Gentleman Lifestyle Podcast

How important is it for creatives to support one another, and what impact can such a platform have on emerging talent? Today, we're diving deep into an incredible creative journey with our guest Ken , also affectionately known as "Mr. Gentleman." Ken's story is a melody of highs and lows, dreams, and the stubborn grit that keeps a creative soul pushing through. From having his tune "Teddy Overload" played on Power 105 yet never hearing it himself, to conquering the world of club promotion with his friends - Ken's tale is one of persistence and heart. And he's sharing his experience of the unique challenge of being an up-and-coming artist in a world that's always craving fresh faces. Speaking of fresh, Ken also gets personal, touching on his admiration for his parents' long-standing bond and his hope to have love just as strong one day. He'll even delve into the challenges he faced in 2021, the legacy of family holiday traditions, and how, despite self-doubt and a competitive world of podcasting and music, he’s stayed true to himself, striving for podcast gold. And don't miss out as Ken walks us through his identity journey, finding his voice despite a speech impediment, and the joy of providing a platform for others through his own show. All that under the shade of a family tree stretching from Barbados to the southern US. So buckle up, as we span tales of identity, ambition, and the quest for that coveted wisdom rating. It's time to find out what's in a name, to see if hard times truly don't last, but tough people do, and why we're all looking for our voice in this noisy world. Get ready to call in your fondest family memories and join Ken and us in a conversation that's sure to resonate with anyone chasing big dreams. Let's answer the call together.
