Toure Show

Toure Show is successful people talking about the talents, tactics, and attitudes that helped them become successful. What’s at the core of your success? What’s your superpower? How did you rebound from failure? Hopefully these are conversations that are valuable to you and help you get more fuel for your journey. Nikki Giovanni is one of the greatest living poets in the world. I grew up hearing Ego Tripping recited over and over in ways that seemed to magically transform all who recited it and all who heard it. And so many of her other poems are so simple or so beautiful or so powerful that I can’t forget them. Plus Nikki is a joy to be around. She’s funny, smart, humble, and she’s cool. She’s the best dinner guest imaginable. In this hour plus conversation we talk about: • Her insight into Trump voters after a life lived in Appalachia. • The impact of watching domestic violence in her childhood home. • How she rebounded from a health scare by getting onstage. • What makes a great poem. • How she learned to cry. • Why she feels she needs to go into outer space. If you want to talk to me about this ep or suggest a future guest I’m on Twitter @Toure and on Instagram @Toureshow. And please rate and review on iTunes—it makes a difference!

Stories that might help you on your journey. The RZA is an amazing person. Legendary producer, rapper, actor, director, who will be remembered as the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan. In this hour-long interview we run through: • How did he establish and maintain his place as the leader of the Wu? • How did he rebound from his nadir—19 years old, in jail, on trial for attempted murder? • How has Quentin Tarantino helped him as a man? • What has chess master Bobby Fisher taught him about life? • What books would he encourage you to read?

Toure Show is all about exploring why awesome people became successful. Why did they make it? What are their superpowers? How did they deal with failure? I want to know so you can get a little more fuel for your journey to success. Maxwell is one of the great singers of his era and a man of towering fame and deep humility. He taught himself how to make music and constructed a debut album called Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite that blew everyone away. Ever since that album came out Maxwell has been a superstar. How does he handle being a star? How does he write music? What does he do in his multi-year breaks from the spotlight? We dig in to all of that and more. If you want to talk to me more about this I’m on Twitter @Toure. Toure Show is written by me, Toure and produced by Chris Colbert in association with Cadence 13 studios.
