I did too, until I set fire to the life I thought I was supposed to have and chose myself instead. Once choice led to another and I crash landed here, to tell the story of the magic that happened along the way. I’m Maverick Malone ( @mavmalone )—author, poet, and spoken word artist—and this podcast is a space for everyone. Most podcasts teach, interview, or perform, but this one just lives. It's a podcast you step into. Ink Speak is where personal storytelling meets poetry, magic, and the raw human experience. Each episode feels like sitting down together in real time. Sometimes I’m in my backyard, sometimes I’m traveling, sometimes I’m in the middle of something I don’t fully understand yet. But wherever I am, you’re right there with me. Every episode begins with a poem or spoken word piece that sets the tone, then unfolds into raw, unfiltered storytelling—about love, loss, transformation, spirituality, and the in-between moments most people don’t share. This is a space for thinking differently, seeing your life from a new angle, and feeling a little le…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-06T12:19:02.371741+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875"},"episode":{"title":"54. \"Master Potter\" - Failure is Success, Part I: How to turn losses into wins & the magic of contrast","slug":"54-master-potter-failure-is-success-part-i-how-to-turn-losses-into-wins-the-magic-of-contrast","published_at":"2026-04-21T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875/54-master-potter-failure-is-success-part-i-how-to-turn-losses-into-wins-the-magic-of-contrast","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/inkspeak/2751504","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/212166/2751504/inkspeak/2026_04_21_01_57_17_c22f35d2-87cb-4ee0-9071-a016099d2b94.mp3","summary":"3What if nothing was ever truly a failure? In this episode, I explore the idea that failure is not something fixed but something we ourselves define. And if we’re the ones defining it...we can also choose to redefine it. I share a personal story of something that happened at a bookstore, something a past version of me would have judged as failure. But instead, it became a growth moment of self compassion and a win by a new definition. This episode is a psychological and reflective deep dive into belief systems, the power of choice, and the stories we’ve inherited about success, failure and worth. We’ll explore what it means to: expand your definition of failure and success see choice itself as a win and get curious about whether your beliefs are truly yours When you bring awareness to what was once unconscious, you gain the power to shift it. This is Part I—Part II will move into business, publishing, and tangible ways to rewrite the beliefs that shape your reality. Want to stay tuned to the Maviverse 311.8FM?
