As a #1 John Legend fan since Get Lifted in 2004, I have waited for this “life story” interview done so beautifully through the eyes and voice of his close friend and collaborator Mike Jackson. I wrote about John’s story in my last book Body of Work through research I was able to ascertain online and *almost* got to connect with him through his agent in 2013, but alas, it didn’t work out. This kind of deep life exploration conversation is just what I wanted. I really look forward to future episodes with other deep thinkers, movers and shakers.

Love the caliber of guests but, bruh, please step your game up when it comes to your questions! Questions like “What superpower would you want to have” are juvenile and have no weight or imagination. Put a bit more effort and ingenuity toward that side of your content.
