🗣 BEHIND-THE-SCENES NOTE FROM AUDLEY
One of my favorite moments in this episode was watching B-Cide light up during our 90s hip-hop rapid-fire segment — the man has deep roots in the culture and it showed! But more than that, his honesty, humility, and strength stood out. His determination to keep creating, despite life’s curveballs, is exactly what living audaciously is all about.
