The Show
Joe sits down with Action Bronson in JRE 1637, and it's a wide-ranging conversation with one of the most creatively diverse people in entertainment. Bronson isn't just a rapper, he's a legitimate chef, visual artist, and now an author with his new book 'F*ck It, I'll Start Tomorrow: A True Story.' The title alone tells you something about his philosophy and approach to life.
The episode flows naturally through Bronson's various creative pursuits and how they all interconnect. He's the kind of guy who doesn't fit neatly into one box, and Joe clearly respects that about him. They discuss what drove him to write the book and the stories he wanted to tell about his life and career. Bronson comes across as genuinely passionate about his work, whether he's in the kitchen, at a canvas, or on the mic.
What makes this conversation compelling is how Bronson talks about the creative process across different mediums. There's a common thread through everything he does, a vision that extends beyond just making music. Joe and Bronson dig into the discipline required to actually execute at a high level in multiple fields, which isn't something most people attempt, let alone succeed at.
