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.

We'll explore how setbacks in business can become catalysts for reinvention, the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and why we can never see the full story at the beginning. I share how each “failed” opportunity clarified my needs, sharpened my skills, and ultimately led me to create something fully my own. Plus, I break down the top 5 actionable methods I personally used to build a growth mindset, cultivate resilience, and turn life’s contrast into gold. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by failure, rejection, or things not going according to plan, this episode will help you reframe setbacks as redirection and start using every experience for you instead of against you.
