#liveandcreate

Excerpt from Outloud Culture!-

Stephonne is a queer R&B singer-songwriter known for pushing boundaries with his music and effortlessly blending the genres of Alt-Rock & R&B/Soul. Stephonne released his latest single “The King’s Gambit” whose mysterious, sultry aesthetic carries throughout the track paying tribute to his influences, like Prince, Billie Holiday, and The Alabama Shakes.

Stephone shares his story of coming to age and finding his own original music in the drag world.

He also offers his unique perspective on pronouns and how each individual desires to be seen.

We also talk through current topics and how endless fighting ultimately leads to civil war. And you’ll be glad to know that neither one of us thinks civil war is a good idea.

And then we dive into grasping exactly who you are to become the best artist you can be.

Courtney Turcotte Bond is a freelance writer, poet, and blogger, but she’s had a dream to write a book since she was eight years old. Thirty years later, that dream has finally become a reality with her debut novel, Breathtaking. When she is not writing or teaching, you can find Courtney running her cake pop business (Bondbons), singing along to every lyric at a concert, or traveling the country. Courtney shares her inspiring entrepreneurial journey with her cake pop business motivated by the pure goal of paying off student loans.

She also unpacks what it looked like for her to take yet another risky step into writing and publishing her first novel.

That journey was sparked by one of her students who had cystic fibrosis named Madison.

Madison had received a double lung transplant at the age of 13 which extended her life by another 6 years.

Courtney aims to highlight life with cystic fibrosis and the power of organ donorship in her novel.

Make sure you check out the links for her book in the show notes.

Hank Wiedel is a busy dude;

He’s a talent buyer with the national live events productions company Mammoth live, Founder/Manager at CORE Mgmt, Co-director at Sofar Sounds KC, and Co-operator at DART records.

His love for music comes second only to his passion to love and bring value to others the best he can in the crazy cutthroat music industry. Hank and I discuss employing empathy in the music industry and how that can easily go out the window if not tended to.

He shares an inspiring story of how his company found a way to come together and show love to its people during the pandemic.

We also discuss Buddhism, atheist Buddhists, and how to reconcile your past, the good and the bad, to who you ultimately want to be as a person. All along the way, he drops great insight for others who are looking to work in the industry or just be a generally decent human being.
