Drake: On Ignoring the Noise and Focusing on What Matters, Outdoing Yourself, Writing, Opportunity & Hard work The Success Series Podcast
-
- Education
Today’s show features a few dope lowdowns from Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, actor and entrepreneur, Aubrey Graham — or as you may know him, Drake.
Some of his most popular songs include One Dance, Passionfruit, and What’s My Name?.
He is somewhat of a record breaker, with the most charted songs (154) among solo artists in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, the most simultaneously charted Hot 100 songs in a single week (24), the most time on the Hot 100 (431 weeks) and the most Hot 100 debuts in a week (21) Drake also has the most number one singles on the Hot Rap Songs, Hot R&B and Rhythmic Charts. Alongside his Grammy Award wins, Drake has won three Juno Awards and six American Music Awards, as well as a record thirteen Billboard Music Awards, while also being one of the most acclaimed rappers of the 21st century.
His music, whilst proving the bulk of his current estimated net worth of $90 million, is not the only pie he has his fingers in: he also has a record label, a clothing line, his own whiskey, restaurant, and he is the global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors.

What is the Success Series Podcast?
The success series podcast is all about the secrets, recipes and philosophies of some of the world’s most famous and successful people—musicians, athletes, actors, actresses, entrepreneurs, authors, painters, investors, philosophers, journalists, scientists, you name it. Each episode is focused on one person, and the several best words of advice they’ve ever spoken, along with a few words of elucidation and commentary from yours truly. Important it is to know, that these podcasts are not interviews done by us; what we do instead is comb the internet platforms for any recordings and audio clips that already exist, review them, and then separate the great from the good, the good from the bad, and then, whatever is left of the wheat, we separate from the chaff.
