I've Gone Soft
Description
In Episode 25 of the Flow State Podcast, Harry opens up about getting back in touch with the fear of pressing 'publish' and shares how he pushed through a recent bout of creative resistance. He recounts his experience walking the red carpet at the premiere of A Complete Unknown and answers fan questions about the power of rhyming and building a following from scratch. Harry also reflects on how Kobe Bryant’s meditative focus and Mamba Mentality relate to creative flow states. As always, he closes the episode with a freestyle recap, weaving the key moments together with his signature flow.
