Ep. 3: Staying Motivated & Chasing Your Dreams with Joseph Roberts

Salt Water Podcast

Yes yes, today we sit down and talk all things motivation and poetry with artist Joseph Roberts. One of the things I love the most about Joe is how willing he is to chase his dreams. He doesn't wait around for things to happen, instead he takes action to achieve what he wants. With clever rhymes and philosophical insights, I think Joe is really one to watch & that he's going to go far!
Joe has a motivational edge to his approach and I think you'll notice this in the episode too. Today we talk about masculinity in todays culture, the importance of knowledge, Joes beginnings in poetry, his influences and his plans for the future. An insightful conversation with a genuinely sound lad.

Joseph Roberts is an 18 year old Spoken Word Artist/Poet from Liverpool. He is at Liverpool John Moores University studying English Literature & Creative Writing. He has performed on BBC Radio Merseyside and has accumulated thousands of views from his Spoken Word videos through various social media platforms. He has now being going into schools and providing poetry workshops in the community. He writes passionately about identity, mental health, masculinity, the environment and the harsh reality of the capitalist world surrounding us. His style of poetry breaks stereotypes, tests the ethics and morals of the audience through philosophical concepts and nuance perspectives. His poems are simply spoken out loud and simply displayed on the page, yet full of complexity for those who desire to listen carefully and read deeper.
