If you don’t know Humble, he’s a Canadian spoken word artist and music video creator. His poetry is so powerful, even Apple used it on their commercials.
He opened up with me on this episode about how being from s Sikh background, and the racism he’s faced has both hurt and helped him in life.
He also discusses some of the problems artists today face and how they can overcome them.
I really have to say that this is a powerful episode. You don’t have to be an artist to appreciate it. His knowledge and insights are important to anyone who is on the road to greatness, and anyone who wants to be a leader.
So get ready to learn all about the power of words, in Episode 682.

This was so much fun brother! Thank you for having me on your show and to those watching, thanks for the making the time to check me out, I appreciate all your kind comments =)

[@undecidedstate3972]

Great episode! Lots of awesome practical advice that can easily be implemented. Thanks Lewis & Humble for providing some great motivation today!

[@1sr0]

Humble The Poet great interview and I am always proud to see fellow Indians doing so well. But just want to comment on something - If the word ‘Sikh’ means ‘to learn’ it must have been derived from the Sanskrit word ‘seek’ which also means ‘to learn’ which by the way is the same in English too as they belong to the same family of languages. So you would think that it is pronounced as ‘seek’ not ‘sick’ although when used as a verb as in ‘sik-tha’ it might be pronounced as ‘sick’.

[@priyankaoza4499]

soo happy to see you on one of my favorite podacasts Humble!!!

[@MarioWalker]

I'm so inspired by your story because I'm also am a spoken word poet on the come up, right now I'm at 104 subscribers. I written a book called Young With A Purpose and it's $9.99 on Amazon. I know spoken word is my calling but I'm still wrestling with the fear of being a starving artist. Your story gives me hope. Here's the link to my book www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1983352853/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1534804649&sr=8-1.

[@pamelaervin110]

Paused on several parts to take some time to chew on some thoughts. Currently running into the same messages (decorated in different words) that speak to my soul. This was great! Thank you for pointing the flashlight to things that were already there but just needed some light shed onto them.

[@TedBlackPresenceCircles]

"We see ourselves in the stories of others, but free ourselves writing our own." Thank you, Humble. Thank you Lewis. Love your work--both of you.

[@candyloves]

Oh Humble! All my favourite people are creating a supernova of divine information. 😊

[@pbadasay]

HANDS DOWN THE BEST INTERVIEW EVER! Lewis is a genuine person who has helped me grow as a person in many aspects and Humble is a realist that has shown me how the journey is where living life is. As a fellow Sikh, I am proud of all of your work Humble. It's on my bucket list to meet Humble, Lewis and Jay Shetty! 3 incredible people! Wow this was a great way to start the week!

[@redouane.mboudella477]

just by reading the comments you realize that Humble just has a way with words, almost every sentence he says should become a popular quote

[@kymyilmaz-ndao7501]

Thanks for having HUMBLE! !! HUMBLE has taught me that "YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS" HE is so very very underrated. I appreciate you , HUMBLE! !!

[@SledgeScarves]

Take aways: Dont run from discomfort , Enjoy the rainbow, not the pot of gold, and when your good you have to tell ppl, when your great ppl tell you! And lastly being in constant competition with myself is the ONLY reason i push forward everyday. If i cant say that im better then yesterday then today is a waist of my life and time. Always strive to be and do better!

[@Tia.K.C]

10 mins in and this is a phenomenal interview. No one can make your dream come true but you. Get to work!

[@acharich]

*_"Our problems may not be our fault, but they are our responsibility.."_* 💥🔥💥 - @Acharich

[@acharich]

First btw.. 😜 haha

[@octane2344]

Humble should have gave credit to Will Smith on that quote. Will Smith had a viral video about that topic. That was the exact phrase Will Smith used.

[@SledgeScarves]

Acharich speaks i liked that quote as well, i have never thought of it like that before. kinda makes me think of responsibility in a better light now. there are many things that we dread doing because we feel like the responsibility should be on someone else for numerous reasons, mainly because we feel the issue is not our fault. but in the end we cant control the things that happen, only the way react to them. and taking responsibility for the things that are not our own fault is a great reaction to practice :)

[@ZenModePhilosophy]

Epic quote

[@FeelGoodWithin]

I love his poetry!!! It's not easy to share ur story so I loved his authenticity!!! Yep Create ur own path!!!

[@Andy-vw8yk]

Thank you very much Humblepoet and Lewis for sharing such valuable information. 😇

[@ramangill4756]

Very powerful and thoughtful interview. Loved it !

[@sin...5982]

You are simply amazing Humble!!! 🥰😍

[@milenak.e5191]

Thank you Lewis for having him ! I’m a kind of lost/broke artist for now because i can’t find the direction to take to express my art and get money. It’s hard. I needed to hear that talk. I loved watching that video it did really spoke to my soul. Cheers. ❤️

[@SledgeScarves]

Dont give up girl, you'll find it. listening to a bunch of artist, they all go threw this process. just recognize that you wont be in it for long. keep pushing forward and it will come to you. just give it some time and keep creating. Feeling lost/broke is all apart of the creativity space. its how we come up with our best stuff :) best of luck to you!

[@milenak.e5191]

Black Girl Entrepreneur aaaanwww thank you, your message is so kind and motivational, thank u it means a lot. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SledgeScarves]

Milena K.E no prob girl! 😍😊

[@LetsBendReality]

Please get to an open mic right NOW and share! A poem, song, reading someone elses poem/rap/song whatever! But I promise after sharing it gets easier and more people will simply know you exist to invite you and pay you to share st their functions...just START! Take feedback creatively and ask for the feedback you want to get better and still be authentically you when you take it in. It costs nothing to upload to KZbin as well! Ask a friend who knows how to shoot on a phone camera to film you at an open mic! I just subscribed and will be looking forward to your first upload! You got this!✌🏿🙏🏽✌🏿👋☀️

[@suzannem9811]

Lewis, this interview was INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you for introducing me to Humble. As soon as I finished watching it, I re-watched it. Taking notes. Best, Suzanne in Vancouver.

[@soulcostume]

Well Lewis, I think I have found (finally) my soul mate. 💕, simple, grateful, down to Earth yet creative, clear mind. No money can buy you personality and the meaning of your life.

[@SallyFrancis]

we learn from everything that is the opposite for happiness...love that so true

[@lesnaturelles2238]

Dear Lewis, I heard you say in a different video that you were welcoming any feedback from anyone. So here's mine : I think you're an angel who incarnated to this earth to help us grow. Also, I think that the Mask of Masculinity should be translated in French (as well as any other languages really) as it is much needed here in France. I think that we, women, should not regard ourselves as real women until we've read this book. Because how can we be supportive of our men if we have no idea how they work? Similarly, how can you take care of your car if you don't know how it works and what it needs? Just beating your car up for not taking you where you want to go won't cut it! This man that once was around me could turn so aggressive and hurtful with intent that I had come to think of him as "abject". Yes. I'm guilty of this. But, after viewing a video where you told your story behind the book, my whole outlook, my whole world even changed in a moment. Suddenly my deaf ears had cleared up and I was able to hear his cry for help. Suddenly I felt able to respond from a place of love instead of a place of hurt. Suddenly I had become a real woman. Thank you for this. With love.

[@yxram495]

Would love to have a conversation with Humble any day of the week

[@akeeymark]

Absolutely love this interview ❤thank you so much Lewis:)

[@pepesfrau]

The struggle is so real. I have watched my son struggle as an artist, leave college to pursue his music career in LA and come home after fove years and telling me and dad how shady the industry is. We already knew this...as I was a vocalist for years, but he had to find this out on his own. Yes, my son said exactly what you said, " I'm going to buy my mom....". So now....thanks to stepdad..he has a dream job without giving up his dream. He gets to work in the industry he is comfortable, knowledgeable and with one with...and gets paid to be creative with the number one tech firm in the world! I have shared all of Humble the Poet's videos with him as well as this.

[@optimisticgirl5015]

Omg, was waiting for this video 😍😍 Much love

[@Travelteez]

Great advice. Nothing beats being your own boss...

[@paolabueso]

[@whitneylee33]

Wow, i love this side of Humble! Very insightful.... great interview! x

[@SledgeScarves]

right, i have always seen the goofy side of him on Lillys channel. I enjoyed hearing his story and seeing where he came from and how he was able to come from the bottom just like so many of us :)

[@whitneylee33]

Black Girl Entrepreneur I agree :) I didnt realize he had his own KZbin channel until now either.

[@nailnisingh9601]

Thank you for this interview interesting life experiences and expressions Love and Peace from Guyana.

[@mindfuldevelopment1668]

Great stuff, Thanks guys! -Luke

[@bellafernandes4692]

Yessss!!!!!! I say this all the time! “You give racism power when you acknowledge it.....” Wise beyond your years!!!! Can’t wait to subscribe to your channel! Omg and your bit about Trump is soooooo true!

[@bubulina322]

Another great video! and indeed < money is not the success= money come after you are successful> cuz you cannot be writing a book and get money in advance for it,but only after you finish writing.. Awesome!

[@Luxuberrys]

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[@FeelGoodWithin]

Focus on baby steps!!!

[@whosdatgirl1]

Hooked from the start. ‘It’ is possible!! Great testimony and real talk X

[@31Daca]

[@racheltowle9016]

One of the best videos on this channel :)

[@chaimaalichani5652]

That was so good humble 💪💪💪

[@manilynoliseo7271]

I love what his T-shirt says; )

[@ViennaTV]

you have nothing to give other People - when you not happy!

[@christiangirlgonerogue83]

What an inspiring chat! Would have been great to hear more details about how as an artist, he was able to make an income. What were some of the steps he took to monetize his craft? How does he actually make money -- that was the biggest question on my mind the entire time. Seemed like a missed opportunity but hopefully you'll have him on again since yall are friends!

[@wllnessbykarina]

Omg what an amazing episode! Lewis you are awesome :) I'm coming to LA to have coffee with you :) not kidding in September get ready ;)

[@3EBstudio]

MOnDAY Masterpiece

Great Interview! Haven't heard about Humble before, just checked out his channel! :)

[@ghostinameatsuit4654]

Humble is the shiiiitt!!! Read his book!

[@Tia.K.C]

"I love how people decide how they're gonna be diverse." Wow

[@ankurkkumar]

Some arts will feed your soul. Not all arts earn you money :) Great podcast @lewishowes Recently I have noticed that my comments are not showing on website podcast section(below show notes). I have commented several times but none of it was visible. I think there must be an error.

[@jackiegallardo4297]

You should get SandOne on the show!! Very inspirational Hispanic power driven woman artist. She has a very interesting/ inspirational story. I think it would bring more diversity to the channel.

[@aLr_boosh]

As a person who writes Rhymes everyday I've never thought of writing poems or books I'm going to have to look his up and maybe add another skill set to my toolbox

[@thehari75]

Wassup Jaspreet Singh.

[@sohailshahid7361]

Dear Lewis sir, Can this idea of taking interviews with diff successfull professionals be successfull in Asian Country like Pakistan

[@konraddobson]

Good interview. Up to the point where he blamed Trump for the current polarized situation. That's pretty short sighted. I saw the exact same thing begin and fester under Obama. And it's hardly one-sided either. A lot of Trump voters previously also voted for Obama. I don't think anyone can deny race relations were worse after Obama's presidency than before, and it's precisely because of a lot of that polarization and identity politics that Trump got elected in the first place.

[@GarretW199]

Why the antipathy towards “God”. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God helps those who helps themselves. Instead it speaks to those who can’t. And... “You may say to yourself, ‘My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.’ But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” Deuteronomy 8:17

[@octane2344]

It may be better to spend the first 10-15 min establishing the story of the person, otherwise we aren't emotionally invested into who this person is.

[@canadacanada3174]

Wow ✅decide to clothes,I like that 😍

[@canadacanada3174]

You are very welcome Lewis ❤️Howes

[@christina334]

I love propaganda
