Ty McDuffey (host of Duff Radio) and STBtheDON have a discussion on life, creativity, and staying true to our goals.

STBtheDON tells us about the story behind his stage name and his roots in Kansas City. We reflect on the importance of communication and respect in personal and professional relationships and how those values help us form strong bonds.

Throughout our talk, STBtheDON opens up about the pressure to constantly deliver fresh content in the social media era. We talk about the costs of always needing the next big moment, emphasizing that the slower road often leads to more success. He also looks back on moments when he questioned continuing with music.

The episode covers the balance between real life and the online world, including how oversharing on social media can turn harmful. We also touch on the motivation to leave behind a legacy of honesty in rap music, which sometimes prizes shock value over substance.

Listeners also get a look at STBtheDON's thoughts on growth, challenges, and what it really means to work for your goals.
