An anthem for all the #entrepreneurs out there…

Back in 2016, I wrote and performed this spoken-word poetry anthem for ATB Financial’s “Amplify” campaign. The overall commercial production received some pretty notable awards in the marketing and media space. Definitely dope a time where a shortened version ran in movie theatres and TV about a year. I’ve never posted the full 3 minute version outside of Facebook, so here it is.

Grateful to have created this. Hopeful this resonates with entrepreneurs everywhere. God bless 🙏🏾
