In the very first episode of A Dope Conversation, I get real about the fear and hesitation that kept this podcast on the back burner for way too long. With a mic in front of me and nerves in the room, I finally hit record—and step into something that’s been calling me for a while.This episode isn’t just a beginning—it’s a breakthrough. I talk through the vulnerability of starting, how the vision for the podcast has evolved, and why now feels like the right time. I also introduces myself and my work as the founder of Defined Lines Marketing, a creative agency helping businesses tell their stories through photography, videography, and digital strategy.If you’ve ever struggled to start something meaningful, this one’s for you.
