This week on Trybe Talks, Nyah sits down with Poet—creative, presenter, and father of twins—to talk about building platforms like Filthy Fellas, HC Pod, and Gasworks while learning what real responsibility looks like. From years working in youth services to co-producing culture-defining shows, Poet shares how putting others first prepared him for fatherhood long before his boys arrived.

He gets candid about co-parenting, custody hurdles, and why he refuses the “broken dad” narrative. For Poet, parenting isn’t a “problem” to solve; it’s a responsibility to accept—then build a life around. Instead of overcompensating with hype outings, he focuses on normal moments: breakfasts, movie nights, and safe spaces that steady his sons’ minds. He also speaks directly to creatives who become parents unexpectedly: accept the new normal, live for yourself and your kids, and don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know”—then learn together.

If you’ve ever felt torn between your craft and your kids, this conversation will reset your compass. It’s honest, practical, and full of the kind of lived wisdom parents actually use.
