Welcome to Wonder & Awe, a podcast exploring the intersection between art and science.

In this episode, Louie Schwartzberg hosts an inspiring conversation with poet and songwriter IN-Q and hip-hop ambassador and meditation expert Toni Blackman.

IN-Q is a National Poetry Slam champion, award-winning poet, and multi-platinum songwriter. His new book is called “Inquire Within,” a book of poems about love, loss, forgiveness, transformation, and belief.

Toni Blackman, an award-winning artist, educator, and expert in hip-hop and mediation. She’s traveled the world as a hip hop ambassador and will soon publish her first book, The Wisdom of the Cypher.

It was a great honor to have IN-Q as a guest on the Dream Big Podcast.   IN-Q is based in Los Angeles, so we were even fortunate enough to meet IN-Q and do the interview face-to-face, just a few weeks before the Stay At Home orders took effect.  If you are not familiar with IN-Q’s work, you should be! IN-Q is one of today’s greatest living poets. He’s a National Poetry Slam champion and multi-platinum songwriter. His groundbreaking achievements include being named to Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 list of the world’s most influential thought leaders, and being the first spoken word artist to perform with Cirque Du Soleil.  We are so excited to support IN-Q with the launch of his book “Inquire Within” which brings IN-Q’s powerful poems to paper and invites you on a journey to the center of the soul. IN-Q performs one of his incredible poems during the interview with Eva and we believe that every family should have a copy of his book on their coffee table as a source for inspiration, especially during these challenging times.  IN-Q was kind enough to send us an advanced copy, and it is simply incredible. Thank you IN-Q for sharing your gift with the Big Dreamers, and please support IN-Q by going to IN-Q.com and ordering your copy of Inquire Within today!
