Specifically, how creatives in Jamaica (and elsewhere) tend to go quiet exactly when they need to speak up the most. Talking about ghosting clients, missing deadlines without a word, and the anxiety that comes with having a difficult professional conversation. I've been in this industry for over 20 years, and I've hired creatives for the better part of ten, so I think I have a little idea of what I'm talking about We also hit a few quick takes on Protoje's new album "The Art of Acceptance," Jamaica Carnival, and the dancehall vs soca conversation that never seems to go away.
