Today I’m excited to welcome Kyle Louw to The Quarter Life Comeback podcast.

Kyle Louw is a spoken word poet and one of my favorite guys on the planet.

After browsing the web and coming across an inspiring video while at his corporate job, Kyle decided to give slam poetry a try. Little did he know, he’d entered a local competition.

Fast forward to today and Kyle is a full-time poet, competing internationally and even teaching others around the world.

When I initially reached out to Kyle to do an interview, I thought it would be cool to have him perform a unique poem for us, which he did (you can download it for free below). I had no idea it would turn into one of my favorite interviews thus far. Kyle and I got pumped up about a lot of topics that we’re both passionate about, such as just getting started, comparing ourselves to others and the power of self-belief.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

• How Kyle stumbled into poetry
• How to take a more creative path in life
• The myth of overnight success and what it really takes to achieve results
• Why the language and words we use every day matter (a lot)
• How to upgrade your self-talk

• 18 things to remember for quarter lifers ([cp_modal id=”cp_id_4d168″]a poem by Kyle) [/cp_modal]
