The 5 questions I ask in this episode:



  1. At the start of your career, you were mentored by DJ Clue. What advice did he give you that helped you break into the music business?
  2. How did you, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne tha God come together to form The Breakfast Club and why do you think that collaboration has been so effective?
  3. In Real Life, Real Love, you talk openly about your 27-year relationship with your wife. How did all of the obstacles you both face create a stronger relationship instead of ending it?
  4. What have you learned about building a healthy relationship with your wife, and what do you think she’s learned from you?
  5. Back in 2017, I asked Charlamagne for his best piece of career advice and he said “Live your truth. Honesty is always the best policy.” What’s your best piece of career advice?
