We kick off Black History Month with this surreal conversation recorded on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Meet Drew Forde (@thatviolakid), a professional viola player known for his entrepreneurial spirit and his online brand, who has played with Ariana Grande at the Grammys, Alicia Keys, and Camila Cabello, among others. Drew relays his experience as an African-American man in the United States of America, and we start the podcast conversation discussing systemic racism and its prevalence in today's world. We then slowly transition into Drew's passion for music and playing the viola. Most of the conversation is two nerds talking about creativity, science, music, and being human. There are many gems and advice in this conversation, and I promise you do not want to miss it! 

If you want to learn more about Drew and his music/brand, follow him at @thatviolakid or listen to his own podcast at @fakingnotespodcast.
