This week Steven talks to legendary street artist, Al-Diaz, a former collaborator with Jean Michel Basquiat, one of the most influential first-generation NYC subway graffiti artists, and now one of the world's foremost text-oriented street artists.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We should never accept life-changing information without conducting some form of investigation on our own. This is our world, and we have the right to be free.
The world in which we exist informs our sensibilities, whether we like it or not. The world we see affects the world we create.
Some people are born followers, while some are born leaders. It is the leaders who direct the change, positive or negative, in the world.
Violence and conflict are sometimes romanticised, which requires careful moderation. Disseminating messages of aggression is a great responsibility, as it must never inspire others to follow this path.
BEST MOMENTS
'I find it interesting how that world shapes so many artists'
'There's more to the story than meets the eye'
'The world was one big fire after another'
'People are people. People want to be like other people'

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
