This is one of the most powerful interviews I have watched. This has unlocked a lot of personal hurdles I have battled with. As a business owner, I have struggled to visualise the future, and I truly believe this is a great positive attitude and outlook on the future. Thank you for everything you are doing ❤
WRONG!!!! His mum nurtured something special in him! My mum never made me wear a suit to school, or taught me not to ever say I'm doing nothing. Not complaining at my mum at all, she is the best ever.
I agree in some aspects, because I don't think it was a conscious thong. She did this to give him a appearance to stand out and to feel and look different then others however they way she went around it sound like a dictator but he loves his mother he appreciates her. Dictatirs are not loved it appreciated. You may of experience these things yourself however, the transferences that from your dynamics is negative and will min seems to remind you of that but no she's not a dictator
@@M.b-q-bnhis mother motivated him !and most importantly she validated him with his creation. Dictators do not do that they exploit coerce it's all negative
He is the biggest sweethearts....he deserves nothing but the best....he's so kind and humble...and giving...on an Oprah episode he paid off two mortgages for two struggling families...he's truly a diamond and legend.
My best friends met him, and they said the same. She was on that show in the UK, and he overheard that she was hungry; he brought her sweets and chocolates from nowhere. So considerate.
He gave his fee for Uk Voice - £500k to charity supporting black boys and girls in poor areas in london. Will is really a great dude man. I don’t know (or care about) his sexuality but it’s shame he isn’t given his flowers more
Iam not really into celebrities ,but Will is an Earth angel ,I truly love this wonderful special being ❤ he is a real inspiration and example to all of us ! Many thanks for this amazing podcast!
This is hands down my favorite episode. Will came into this interview 100% raw and honest. No agenda, no mask, he was purely himself. The way he expresses himself and describes his thoughts and perspective had me glued for the hour and twenty minutes. AMAZING episode.
I'm 62, live in Australia and absolutely love Will i am, introduced my grandchildren 8 and 10 to the Black Eyed Peas a few years ago and it's what they request me to play whenever we're alone together. He's just brilliant.
24 minutes in & already inspired. Will’s mother insisting that he doesn’t use the default answer “nothing” when asked what he’s doing or feeling is a new life hack as far I’m concerned. Brilliant. 💪⚛️
What a deep intelligent loving soul Will is. I enjoyed this interview. Steven you're such a good interviewer. You hold the space well to allow the interviewee to talk and express themselves in a way we rarely get to see. I now notice how many bad interviewers there are out there, who cut into the interviewee mid sentence, rush them and do so much of the talking themselves a core of the time, making us as the listeners question who's actually being interviewed here. You, Steven get the balance right with this. You're very skilled.
Welcome to one of the positives of ADHD, we don't get to ignore things the way others do, it's difficult to manage in this neurotypical world but it also gives us a insane potential to learn and have thoughts others just dismiss
@@CFox9definitely a gift that we sometimes don’t realize because it’s just us. Sometimes I’m too far ahead of normal human thought but in 10-20yrs they catch up and remind me of what I said 😂
To hear someone explain their brain , thought processes, and creative dreams in such a similar manner, is so very freeing, inspiring, and motivating. My ADHD brain never stops, and that's exhausting for everyone, but it also harnesses the most creative, and endless dreams that I walk turn into reality.
So happy Will had a loving mother, without that we would not have this genius we have now. It just shows teach children to believe in themselves and they will succeed. They should make a movie of his life. Thanks Steven love your style of interviewing.
The most authentic and socially, emotionally and intellectually balanced person I’ve seen interviewed, maybe ever and I’m old and watched and read a lot so that is sayin something. He does “Live in the moment” when he is in flow being creative AND he also thinks of context and others and is absolutely brilliant in doing so.
In 1990 I've had the honor to meet Will. We became really good friends and till this day. He's an amazing, talented genius with a huge heart. Wishing you and your family all the best
I've been songwriting for 10 years. I was self conscious of sharing anything creative growing up, even as an adult. After growing up poor and constantly moving, never keeping long time friends, I dropped out of high school to work full time at different restaurants. I felt so alone for years. I luckily had 2 close friends and a couple good relationships that taught me love and had a grandmother who told me I could be anything. Now I'm going to college at 27 to study business law and architecture, STILL making music. I'm actually releasing a full project soon finally! I just wanted to share how grateful I am for this interview and this channel. It's f***ing dope; learning all these different topics! I learned that embarrassment is always going to be better than shame and regret. I hope you never give up following your dreams
He has such an awesome story on his whole life. He really has come from being poor to being able to take his entire family out of the projects and opening up a school for the children who also lived in the projects. He really don't get enough recognition for the great humanitarian that he is.
I haven't finished watching this, about mid-way through but had to just pause and comment. This is truly inspirational and amazing thanks for putting this out there. Also to Steven, I really enjoy your style of hosting by just allowing the guests to talk and not interfering.
There is real skill in knowing when to intervene during the flow of conversation that will 'tease' more from the interviewee that adds value to the podcast. Brilliant! Keep up the good work Steven.
What a beautiful mind, I’m glad this platform felt like such a safe place for him to articulate his thoughts freely and fully. I liked that he respectfully corrected parts of the conversation where he felt they were not reflecting his thoughts fully . I am excited for a future with great minds like him in it❤
Will: “creativity is like a sponge. You absorb and you ring yourself out.” THIS is the easiest analogy definition of creativity i’ve ever heard in my life and i’m so thankful to have heard this metaphor so I can share with my friends 🥰
William, you are the real deal in terms of being a black man. Thank Goodness for your mother, she’s the definition of a woman, and a mother. Keep up the great work, you are impacting the world.🙏🏽🙏🏽
I adore everything about this man . He will make an amazing father . He’s already an amazing human . He oozes love and kindness who wouldn’t want him in their life . ❤
I HAVR NEVER felt , Connected to WillI as much as I have after this interview. This was the BEST interview of Will I have everrrr seen . Will wow , I love how you articulate and express your thoughts . To the INTERVIEWER…your curiosity is so beautiful and it’s genuinely sets a space for a persons layers to be come Pulled back you are truly phenomenal in your own ability to hold space in that way . So good !! ❤
The part where he spoke of his mum sending him to school in a suit made my heart explode. The way he loves her is so emotional to watch. I think now that his mum had sadly gone, he now wants someone to love so desperately. I get it, I have ADHD and i know he needs 'a him, in his life, someone to love him, the way he loves others, and that's only possible from your mum or your kids. For us with ADHD a partner is just never going to be able to love us enough. I hope he finds his peacefulness xxx
Great insight also I want to encourage others. I do have a husband he spent 10 years by my side so I can trust he was "him" and we get to be " us " 😅 We are so blessed and never take that for granted...he is ... pure soul easy going super understanding tender strong coolest man ever. ❤❤ you can as well, love, faith and hope never ends
I think Will's mother was the magic in his life! What a powerful positive impact she had in her family's life. He has me mesmerised with his / tory. It's almost like he's reading from something he's spent a lot of time writing about but the words just come tripping off his tongue like he can't get them out fast enough. He is a very unique man blessed with an outstanding influence in his life
This is officially the BEST Channel, and this was one of, if not, the best conversation I've listened to thus far. I am so blown away by Will's story, and literally have no words to describe why. He's just such an amazing person in so many ways. I'm in awe, I love this guy!!!
I absolutely LOVE his Authenticity, vulnerability, honesty, and his sense of self. Hands down one of the BEST interviews I’ve came across in awhile. Awesome Job! Bravo!
This interview is special. First of all the interviewer is the top CEO for having the ability to ask questions that are relevant and unexpectedly from his guest. Sir, we need more people like you who are willing to squeeze till the last drop of truth and authenticity. Will I am gave his all body, mind and soul on this one. You truly reminded me that confusion is worse than chaos. I’ve discovered a little bit of me through this interview. THANKS
Man, I had no idea how much in common I have with Will I am. 😮 8:09 in. I'm going to have to come back and finish this. But my mother could only read and write Spanish too when she came to this country, and the kids made fun of her. She locked herself in the bathroom and taught herself how to read in English. Years later she became a teacher recognized Nationally for working with a school program that reaches students and helped them to communicate better. I love my mother. One day I will make a difference in this world as well. Working progress. All by the Grace of God.
I always just so amazed by this guy. There are certain people in the world where you just sit back in awe and genuine appreciation while being envious without jealousy and the same time. So happy to see his level of success.
WOW! I always thought Will I am was cool. But after listening to this interview…. What a genuine & beautiful man. Didn’t surprise me that he’s a fellow empath & water sign 🦂 I have a new found respect for him as a human being. Thank you Stephen ❤
I wasn’t expecting much bc I thought it was going to be surface level. But Will.I.Am delivered and then some. His past, his current, his hope for the future. His hope for OUR future… for humanity. The creative mind. I WISH this interview was longer or they released outtakes
I loved this interview so much! Love the way that Will thinks. I'm a single mother of two children, one girl and one boy. I was always worried that I could never show my son how to be a man and masculine. I notice the way he sits sometimes and when Will said, "I even sit feminine," I could relate convo to my son. He crosses his legs in a more feminine way. After listening to Will, I'm not worried about if I failed to show him how to masculine....instead just happy that I raised how to be a beautiful, loving, and caring soul.
This was a healing listen! As an ENFP, photographer, painter, crafter and a full time electrical engineer this conversation radiated through my being! I am in shock because I felt like he was speaking my reality and truth in ways that I couldn’t articulate! ❤
This is by far one of the best DOAC podcasts I've watched. It is so refreshing to listen to an incredibly intelligent, caring and eloquent man... such a rarity. I am a 53 year old poet , writer and creative whose brain never stops thinking and body never stops feeling. I could relate so much to the metaphors that will.i.am used to explain the way he approaches and embraces life. I left with food for thoughts and inspired. Thank you!
This series is like no other. It is IQ and EQ combined. Keep bringing these amazing interviews to your subscribers as they nurture us all. Congratulations!
This is one of the best interviews that I have ever viewed. He is a true artist in that he has revealed the mental architecture of an authentic creative and humanist.
An ADHD person once told me to slow down in our conversation (which I find interesting coming from an ADHD) as she's still processing things. In her words she said, "I'm busy being busy." Those 4 words gave me an insight into her world than everything I've studied at University.
This man is a true visionary in every sense of the word. He's an inspiring person making a positive contribution to the world. I think he'll be an amazing father one day. And Steven, thank you for your measured and thoughtful interview style which allows your guest greater time to share and explore deeper topics than other podcasts/interviews.
I am so touched listen to William. It reminds me of my selflessness as a single mum taking on my late sister's children in addition to mine. It was hard. But was able to give from the little I had. Will you have a golden heart.
What a wonderful Mother this man has, she is everything anyone would wish for as a Mum, she should be so proud of her creativity because she is the reason that Will is what he is today and also when you think of the adversity she had to cope with she always did her absolute best for her children and look at the outcome, a man who is a humble, and is also so kind to others and yet for everything he is and also everything he has attained he is so grounded and honest, be proud Will, you are a very special human being.
Absolutely. What are you doing?- NOTHING is not an answer. Totally agree with mum. I was brought up being told ‘I don’t know’ is NOT an answer. I now know why that was so important for my thinking- creative, analytical or otherwise. Will shows how important nurture is for us as humans. Shout out to Wills mum beautiful upbringing- produced a beautiful human being🥂🍾🙏🏾💋
I always love his creativity. Now that I realized how genius was his mother, i love him more. He's so humble and generous at the same time. He's probably a very spiritual person I think. Great interview.
I think ALL mums should watch his podcasts. I learn something impactful towards my kids every time. Very grateful for social media and the forces of good it can provide❤
Shoutout to all the single mothers out there working hard and going crazy to put food on the table, put clothes on their bodies and still have the mental stability to raise disciplined heroic children. Thank you all 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Loved this interview, love them all! Will is a talented, creative soul with much to give. We are all 'sponges'. I am 55 and still seek knowledge wherever I can and hope I have passed this onto my sons, one of whom is also deeply sensitive. Well done Steven as always. So much love 😊
Great interview! One of his strengths I believe is intellection. He thinks deeply and often. He has the ability to explain complicated subjects in simple terms. He has a depth of understanding and wisdom. He needs others to challenge his thinking. He needs time to process and a big thinker. I understand because I am that. Just told someone today that my future husband has to challenge my thinking or it won’t work. So hopefully he finds someone that will balance him out and embrace his higher thinking. ❤ I love Star Wars!! My the force be with you my friend!
I loved him anyway before this interview ! What a brilliant interview and Steven let him talk ! What an amazing man , and giving back is his life What an eye opener Thank god still wonderful people in this world . Such open talking pleasure to listen to Thank you Steven
An even more special man than I thought. I suffer with complex PTSD. Will, you have given me something to add to my tool box: (the part where you talked about choices/ perspective/ expectations: shower/rain part) Presentness... Thank you. Game changer.
Will I am the f***ing legend. Didn’t expect this one. When I turned 10, there was DJ on my birthday party and I told him to play Scream and Shout throughout the whole party and that’s what happened. Legendary! Will, you changed my life and inspired me so much musically and lyrically, thank you so much! I hope that I will see you again one day and spend some more time!
Very emotional interview with Will. Loving and encouraging mother. I understand why she was such of an incredible inspiration and raised such of a delightful and creative son. I just ❤this interview!
I love your choice of guests. I haven't seen them all yet. I love your style of interviewing. I love how comfortable you make your guests feel around you. Its almost therapeutic for them.
Loved this podcast. Will is a real visionary. His ability to live 10 years in the future.🤔🤔 Consequently, he is helping people in the community he once lived. I am truly impressed by his abiding empathy and the potential for lasting impact on the lives of others. Will is simply amazing! 🧡🙌🏽🧡 🙌🏽
I find Will quite facinating. One of those mysterious types that you will never fully know. I love the way his mind work, always curious, always learning, seeing the positive in everything. He is lucky to have a mother like that, if only we all had a mother like Wills.
BEP had a concert in Bulgaria couple of weeks ago. I could undoubtedly say that Will and the others showed us what really intelligent entertainers and at the same time beautiful souls means. I’m fascinated by their vibe, the words they use, the cultural exchange they always talk about. This interview is just another evidence that great people achieve great things. You can literally see his soul shining. I will be so happy when i see him being a dad.
This is hitting all the notes for me of boundless ideas, self- destruction and articulating conceptually. Very thankful to be able to learn from people like Will since i was young
I've admired Will for many years. If there was one star (as opposed to celebrity), I wish I knew personally it's this man. He's genuine, and that's rare.
This is more like two geniuses are having a conversation rather than an interview. This is what separates this podcast from the other thousands. Awesome work guys 🎉
This brought me to tears as Wills ideas on mankind and how we should LOVE more mirrors my beliefs. Also can relate in many ways. Will you're a compassionate man and we need many many more people who think likewise ❤❤
See, such interviews will only have the intended impact when the interviewee is willing to be raw, real and resilient. This is a gem of an interview! I call your Mum blessed, and for the huge impact she had in instilling confidence in her kids. More grace and love to you.
I loved every bit of this conversation ! I love Will’s mom, Will’s creativity and being in his head and his Constance evaluation and reevaluation of life and his role in it. I can identify with so much of it.
Absolutely loved this interview Stephen- you asked fantastic questions and were so accepting of Will’s thought process- i loved how you went along in trying to innerstand rather then try to force more conventional answers or ways of relating out of him ( which obvs wouldn’t have worked). You teo were a dream here - thank you so very much xxx very valuable xxx
This was one of the best interviews I have heard! Thank you for sharing! I absolutely LOVED Will.I.Am’s testimony❣️ It really touched my heart ❤️, especially how his Mom was a beautiful woman! It was just good to hear about his life-BEAUTIFUL!!😊

This is one of the most powerful interviews I have watched. This has unlocked a lot of personal hurdles I have battled with. As a business owner, I have struggled to visualise the future, and I truly believe this is a great positive attitude and outlook on the future. Thank you for everything you are doing ❤
His mom saw something special in him, and she supported his uniqueness. This is a very powerful conversation 🙌

Same!!! 🎉

He is an amazing interviewer such a good listener and asks the questions you the viewer would want to ask . That’s the magic he has .
Will’s greatest strength is his endless curiosity. Curiosity leads to investigation that then electrifies his creativity. Really amazing.
he is one in a million

This man thinks on an elevated level. You can listen for hours.
Absolutely. I’d love to sit down and talk to him
I feel sad for him. Too big a burden to carry
Hours ❤
Will needs to write his autobiography once the babies arrive….I bet his ability as a father is above and beyond. Wishing him well.
I love Will - genuinely inspirational, intelligent, kind, creative, AND successful. Most people only aim for the success.
In 1990 I've had the honor to meet Will. We became really good friends and till this day.
He's an amazing, talented genius with a huge heart.

Where can we hear your music!
Can we stream your music or listen on YT or something as I’m absolutely keen.
Keep having faith, you will be amazing!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤❤❤

Such an interesting, intelligent, quirky, creative person... with a huge heart to boot. Love him 💜
Will: “creativity is like a sponge. You absorb and you ring yourself out.”
THIS is the easiest analogy definition of creativity i’ve ever heard in my life and i’m so thankful to have heard this metaphor so I can share with my friends 🥰
I wish we can have leaders like Will in the world especially in my struggling poor country
Watching from South Africa

So true, I couldn't agree more with what you say.
Omg… what a humble and kind man.. god blessed him.. we need more people like him in the world.
This is one of those interviews I can come back to 87 million times. Will is 37 light years ahead of his contemporaries!
You'd have to watch it for over 13,000 years non-stop. Therefore, your statement is void.
The part where he spoke of his mum sending him to school in a suit made my heart explode. The way he loves her is so emotional to watch.

I wasn’t expecting much bc I thought it was going to be surface level. But Will.I.Am delivered and then some. His past, his current, his hope for the future. His hope for OUR future… for humanity. The creative mind. I WISH this interview was longer or they released outtakes
I loved this interview so much! Love the way that Will thinks. I'm a single mother of two children, one girl and one boy. I was always worried that I could never show my son how to be a man and masculine. I notice the way he sits sometimes and when Will said, "I even sit feminine," I could relate convo to my son. He crosses his legs in a more feminine way. After listening to Will, I'm not worried about if I failed to show him how to masculine....instead just happy that I raised how to be a beautiful, loving, and caring soul.
This was a healing listen! As an ENFP, photographer, painter, crafter and a full time electrical engineer this conversation radiated through my being!
I am in shock because I felt like he was speaking my reality and truth in ways that I couldn’t articulate! ❤
He makes me proud to be an ENFP. Awesome interview.
Me to, also an enfp!
Is will an enfp?
@@kerrylow6894Yes he is
An Enfp that’s also an engineer? Wow! That’s impressive
This is by far one of the best DOAC podcasts I've watched. It is so refreshing to listen to an incredibly intelligent, caring and eloquent man... such a rarity. I am a 53 year old poet , writer and creative whose brain never stops thinking and body never stops feeling. I could relate so much to the metaphors that will.i.am used to explain the way he approaches and embraces life. I left with food for thoughts and inspired. Thank you!
Will certainly comes from a maternal line of keen and supernatural intellect. What a wondeful human 🥰
This series is like no other. It is IQ and EQ combined. Keep bringing these amazing interviews to your subscribers as they nurture us all. Congratulations!
I love Will's spirit. It is so inspiring. real and honest - totally harmless but impactful.
This is one of the best interviews that I have ever viewed. He is a true artist in that he has revealed the mental architecture of an authentic creative and humanist.
Perfectly put.
An ADHD person once told me to slow down in our conversation (which I find interesting coming from an ADHD) as she's still processing things. In her words she said, "I'm busy being busy." Those 4 words gave me an insight into her world than everything I've studied at University.
This man is a true visionary in every sense of the word. He's an inspiring person making a positive contribution to the world. I think he'll be an amazing father one day. And Steven, thank you for your measured and thoughtful interview style which allows your guest greater time to share and explore deeper topics than other podcasts/interviews.
I am so touched listen to William. It reminds me of my selflessness as a single mum taking on my late sister's children in addition to mine. It was hard. But was able to give from the little I had. Will you have a golden heart.
Will is inspiring what a kind hearted man his mother did an amazing job raising him .yes will you would be an amazing dad ❤
What a fantastic lady his mom is, she did a great job 🥰
100%
Amen ❤❤❤
Yep agree. Awesome Mum nurtured an awesome son.
Wow! ‘If letting out your creativity is helping you then it will also help others’. First it has to help you! Word! 💯
I have chills every time I watch one of your interviews or listen on Spotify. You're the best interviewer I've ever seen and heard
yes totally agree he is brilliant💫 lve been sharing his work with my daughters in England and my friends here in Dublin ( 93 my daughter was 2 lol )
What a wonderful Mother this man has, she is everything anyone would wish for as a Mum, she
should be so proud of her creativity because she is the reason that Will is what he is today and
also when you think of the adversity she had to cope with she always did her absolute best for
her children and look at the outcome, a man who is a humble, and is also so kind to others and
yet for everything he is and also everything he has attained he is so grounded and honest, be
proud Will, you are a very special human being.
Absolutely. What are you doing?- NOTHING is not an answer.
Totally agree with mum. I was brought up being told ‘I don’t know’ is NOT an answer.
I now know why that was so important for my thinking- creative, analytical or otherwise.
Will shows how important nurture is for us as humans.
Shout out to Wills mum beautiful upbringing- produced a beautiful human being🥂🍾🙏🏾💋
The more I love you William…I love the respect and the legacy you’ve received from your mom, she’s an amazing woman ❤❤❤
This King 👑 is EXTRAORDINARY!! He said: “I got out of my reality by not living in my reality.” Profound! 🔥
I have always been fascinated with this man. He isn’t just creative….his creativity heals, solves problems, brings joy.
I always love his creativity. Now that I realized how genius was his mother, i love him more. He's so humble and generous at the same time. He's probably a very spiritual person I think.
Great interview.
I think ALL mums should watch his podcasts. I learn something impactful towards my kids every time. Very grateful for social media and the forces of good it can provide❤
Shoutout to all the single mothers out there working hard and going crazy to put food on the table, put clothes on their bodies and still have the mental stability to raise disciplined heroic children.
Thank you all 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Loved this interview, love them all! Will is a talented, creative soul with much to give. We are all 'sponges'. I am 55 and still seek knowledge wherever I can and hope I have passed this onto my sons, one of whom is also deeply sensitive.
Well done Steven as always. So much love 😊
Great interview! One of his strengths I believe is intellection. He thinks deeply and often. He has the ability to explain complicated subjects in simple terms. He has a depth of understanding and wisdom. He needs others to challenge his thinking. He needs time to process and a big thinker. I understand because I am that. Just told someone today that my future husband has to challenge my thinking or it won’t work. So hopefully he finds someone that will balance him out and embrace his higher thinking. ❤ I love Star Wars!! My the force be with you my friend!
Much respect to all the parents who set a strong foundation and moral values in their homes.
Will is one of my favourite human beings ever. The man is a legend. Thank you so much for this inspirational interview ❤ 🙏
I loved him anyway before this interview ! What a brilliant interview and Steven let him talk ! What an
amazing man , and giving back is his life What an eye opener Thank god still wonderful people in this world . Such open talking pleasure to listen to Thank you Steven
Just when you think you can't love this man anymore ❤ one of the greatest artists and human beings of our time
He will make an amazing dad. I wish I had the pleasure to know such a person in this life.
An even more special man than I thought. I suffer with complex PTSD. Will, you have given me something to add to my tool box: (the part where you talked about choices/ perspective/ expectations: shower/rain part) Presentness... Thank you. Game changer.
So much respect to Will but even more to his mum for being a parent that everyone deserves in this world. What role models they both are ❤
Will I am the f***ing legend. Didn’t expect this one.
When I turned 10, there was DJ on my birthday party and I told him to play Scream and Shout throughout the whole party and that’s what happened. Legendary!
Will, you changed my life and inspired me so much musically and lyrically, thank you so much!
I hope that I will see you again one day and spend some more time!
I've always loved this dude . His Transparency and Humbleness are inspiring .
Very emotional interview with Will. Loving and encouraging mother. I understand why she was such of an incredible inspiration and raised such of a delightful and creative son. I just ❤this interview!
I love your choice of guests. I haven't seen them all yet. I love your style of interviewing. I love how comfortable you make your guests feel around you. Its almost therapeutic for them.
Loved this podcast. Will is a real visionary. His ability to live 10 years in the future.🤔🤔 Consequently, he is helping people in the community he once lived. I am truly impressed by his abiding empathy and the potential for lasting impact on the lives of others. Will is simply amazing!
🧡🙌🏽🧡 🙌🏽
I find Will quite facinating. One of those mysterious types that you will never fully know. I love the way his mind work, always curious, always learning, seeing the positive in everything.
He is lucky to have a mother like that, if only we all had a mother like Wills.
BEP had a concert in Bulgaria couple of weeks ago. I could undoubtedly say that Will and the others showed us what really intelligent entertainers and at the same time beautiful souls means. I’m fascinated by their vibe, the words they use, the cultural exchange they always talk about. This interview is just another evidence that great people achieve great things. You can literally see his soul shining. I will be so happy when i see him being a dad.
Brilliant comment 🌼
This is hitting all the notes for me of boundless ideas, self- destruction and articulating conceptually. Very thankful to be able to learn from people like Will since i was young
I've admired Will for many years. If there was one star (as opposed to celebrity), I wish I knew personally it's this man. He's genuine, and that's rare.
Know what you mean. Me too.
Thank you for this opportunity to listen to William and his life journey.
❤
This is more like two geniuses are having a conversation rather than an interview. This is what separates this podcast from the other thousands. Awesome work guys 🎉
This brought me to tears as Wills ideas on mankind and how we should LOVE more mirrors my beliefs. Also can relate in many ways. Will you're a compassionate man and we need many many more people who think likewise ❤❤
One of the realest interviews I’ve heard in a while, thank you both for the insight and words of encouragement
I am inspired by Steven so, much. His vibe allows people to open up and navigate through their honesty.
Wow ! Will I cried listening to this! I hope someday you find the ultimate person to settle down with ❤
See, such interviews will only have the intended impact when the interviewee is willing to be raw, real and resilient. This is a gem of an interview! I call your Mum blessed, and for the huge impact she had in instilling confidence in her kids. More grace and love to you.
“You absorb, you rinse” I have an itch to let something out and it may help others. Now after listening to you I know I should do it!
What an amazing mind Will has I could sit all day and listen to him .The passion in him is beautiful. You're dope sir 🙌
Wow! Most relatable guest, for me personally…even my husband asked why I was so quiet. Some other guests speak a different language to me, thank you 🌟
What an human and lovely man Will.i.am is!!!!! Your intervju is something else.
25:40 "I'm not a beach guy, I'm a diver...I like the abyss..." - he nails the description of how a real creative's mind works ... #cosign
I loved every bit of this conversation ! I love Will’s mom, Will’s creativity and being in his head and his Constance evaluation and reevaluation of life and his role in it. I can identify with so much of it.
Absolutely loved this interview Stephen- you asked fantastic questions and were so accepting of Will’s thought process- i loved how you went along in trying to innerstand rather then try to force more conventional answers or ways of relating out of him ( which obvs wouldn’t have worked). You teo were a dream here - thank you so very much xxx very valuable xxx
Totally agree with this !
What a gentle man hes so kind...i love this man what an inspiration well done to his mum bringing up will knowing he his special xx❤❤
Such an inspiration, with someone who battles ADHD this gives me hope.
“You have to arm yourself with optimism and purpose” … chills
This man is so deep!!!! What a brilliant man! His use of metaphors, wow!🥰😍
This was one of the best interviews I have heard! Thank you for sharing! I absolutely LOVED Will.I.Am’s testimony❣️ It really touched my heart ❤️, especially how his Mom was a beautiful woman! It was just good to hear about his life-BEAUTIFUL!!😊
this interview is like listening to a creative spark and applying it to everyday life. simple , deep and direct. Thank you
