Passion & Purpose with Ben Cyco
I invited Benard Kariuki aka Ben Cyco (now verified on IG) to have a conversation with me on Passion and Purpose. We really got into it with this one! Ben talks about his life experiences that lead him where he is at in life currently. He talks about his struggle with doubt and how it hindered him from progress and instilled fear in him. Being a musician and creative, we talk about the struggles behind being a creative in the country and we also talked about the hashtag #PlayKEMusic and how important it is to be knowledgeable as well as professional in the creative industry.
The Music today is one of my favorite Ben Cyco songs. Check out his music on the link below and subscribe to his channel.
