*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, stronger and more empathic than most. 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. ⁣
