Hip-hop artist Big Jon joins us to share his journey from Baltimore classrooms and college stages to pursuing music full-time after a break in broadcasting. He opens up about the emotional and financial challenges of navigating the music industry, and how therapy and a supportive community have helped him push forward. We discuss the lessons he’s learned about avoiding predatory promotion tactics, building real connections, and finding balance as an independent artist.
