From hands-on beginnings to hands-on business, Shamar shares insights on branding, marketing, and what it takes to build something that lasts. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s free game from someone who's lived every frame of the process.

In the premiere of Creative Roots Podcast, the mic flips—and the storyteller becomes the story.

Host Tae sits down not just to introduce the podcast, but to share the creative journey that led to its creation. From writing lyrics and reimagining TV scripts to capturing stories through a lens, Tae breaks down how each chapter—spoken, written, and filmed—shaped a voice built on rhythm, vision, and intentionality.

It’s a candid, reflective start to a series grounded in growth. If you’ve ever built something before you had the words for it, or seen a story before you had the camera—this episode will feel familiar.

Welcome to Creative Roots. Let’s grow from here.
