When I get off of work and come home, I want to write a song, write a poem or draw or doodle, those are things I look forward to. I want to wake up and do those things.” Damian White on creating a routine of your creativity.  Topics Covered: - Tapping Into Your Creativity  - Balancing Life and Art  - Understanding The Creative Process - Mindset and Discipline - Overcoming Life Challenges With Creativity Guest: Damian White Instagram: @damiankwhite TikTok: @damiankwhite Website: www.damianwhitewrites.com Email: info@damianwhitewrites.com Damian’s Top Picks: referenced in podcast: - Guest watch/read/listen recommendation: The Cheat Code - https://thecheatcodepodcast.com/ - Guest secret watch/read/listen: Battle Rap - https://battlerap.com/ Host: Deeon Brown Website: deeonbrown.com Website: projectbigbrand.com/ Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/deeon-brown-6b747b43/ Instagram: instagram.com/bestdeeonever/ Man Versus Brand: Website: manversusbrand.com Instagram: instagram.com/manversusbrand/
