once they exit the gates is a podcast about wisdom, poetry and personal stories. the title came to lynus during a walk, having been used on one of his poems utilizing it as a symbol for his voice. for years, self-talk alongside poetry has been one of lynus’ ways of venting and problem solving, so starting this podcast has been a milestone reached for him.

    [before i cross] - rough starts and messing up (ft. julie)

    welcome to "before i cross", stories and topics that are not usually talked about in the creative industry, is what I talk about with guests on my podcast. I discuss topics such as artist's majoring in college in their chosen art form, humble beginnings, making mistakes, and survival jobs that creative people need to sign up for to keep the lights on. Furthermore, I invite guests who identify with these types of narratives to share their personal experience to the world.
