Protecting Your Purpose in the 9-5 Grind | AJ McQueen x Tech Me As I Am

The 9-to-5 will try to consume you. So how do you protect what's really driving you? In this episode, Brittani sits down with writer, poet, and rapper AJ McQueen and the conversation goes deep fast.

From journal entries that turned into music people cry to in their cars, to sitting at the CEO table before he had the title AJ brings the kind of energy that reminds you who you are before the world told you to shrink.

We talk about:

• How AJ's song "Sit Yuh Self Down" was born from a journal entry on a heavy day
• The power of inner conversation and why talking to yourself is a spiritual practice, not a red flag
• Auditing your life friendships, habits, and the emotional baggage you're still carrying that isn't even yours anymore
• Why "No" is the most powerful word you'll ever learn
• How to stay rooted in your purpose while still showing up to the grind
• Generational trauma, self-love, and why we forgive everyone except ourselves
• Being consistently delusional and why that's actually the strategy
