*Recorded June 2022 - Will Wood is more than a singer - songwriter, after a great deal of criticism and attempts at cancelling him. He has come out wiser and stronger. I loved hearing his insights on mental health and how society and culture defines what mental health & illness are.
We go over:
+ How to keep doing what feels right to you despite people having their own erroneous idea of who you are.
+ Cultural pressures.
+ Going viral and being opened to criticism.
+ The manipulation of social media and the radicalisation it can cause.
+ Morality and culture.
+ The amount of subjectivity around mental health. Kanye West being mocked for his mental illness.
+ How to not let other people’s opinions affect your art.
