Coaching a Poet Fund a $100K a Week Show | J Mase III | Ep 1006

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"Ask for what you want, not what you think you can get." - Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and J Mase III. J Mase is a poet, filmmaker, and immersive world designer building a ten-year project. The music is written. The workshop is staged. The money is not there. This session gets into what happens when a leader keeps applying for funding instead of asking for it, and what it costs to size your vision to what someone else can already picture.

What you take away:

- Why the size of your ask gets decided before you open your mouth

- How to build the world before the money arrives

- What one project big enough to hold all of you does that five good ones never will

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
