TP Elevates! Podcast

In this episode of The Tap In Podcast, Tiawan Pinkney interviews Joshua Brown, the creator of the General Joshua Comic Book, Founder of Nerds and Hip Hop, co-owner of 951Vibes, screenplay writer and former boxer. Tiawan and Joshua journey through the process of Joshua becoming a boxer, dealing with fear and how his fears and frustrations ultimately transformed into reckless rage and emptiness as Joshua's life began to spiral out of control. Be prepared for an in depth journey into a mindset that has evolved from chaos into creativity and the onset of an incredible legacy, but more importantly, what it has taken Joshua to reach his goals thus far.
Tiawan Pinkney has the opportunity to unpack Joshua's past channeling his fears through boxing and channeling his anger into comic books. Joshua's story is one that we can all relate to but it goes beyond that. His story is just a mere intersection of infinite lives on this planet who have sought out different outlets to channel their frustrations and find a way to end the destructive cycle in which they find themselves. By always choosing an outlet rather than allowing one's emotions to become destructive violence leads to the creative rebirth. As life continually unfolds greater truths are revealed to us. Those truths when released from their containers reveal more profound beauty. When you see someone going through their darkest moments and their hardest struggles, that's someone who has the opportunity to become something incredible. Most people are never given the chance to do that.
This is far from any motivational speaker nonsense. Instead, this is an honest look at how fear, rage, trauma and more can be used to propel you forward in ways that most people never even come close to experiencing. Tiawan and Joshua discuss 1) coping mechanisms Joshua Brown used when dealing with his emotions, 2) how he confronted and dealt with his own anger, 3) effects of fear, frustration and rage and 4) his decision to turn his life around by continuing to pursue success.
