Hey Storytellers! I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you. We have our very first poet on the show, Tyler Knott Gregson. He’s one of the most down-to-earth, grounded human beings that I’ve had the honor of chatting with. We get into the philosophy of life, surviving and thriving as an artist, and expressing our authenticity. We also had a fascinating discussion about social media and how it played a huge role in Tyler’s success as a poet and author.
