This week, I sat down with renowned poet, community leader, and Poetry Potluck founder Calvin Early. We talked about the power of words, the importance of community, and what it means to create spaces where people feel safe enough to be seen and heard.

As someone being honored for his impact at Charles Hadley Park, Calvin reflects on the journey that brought him here, the people who poured into him along the way, and why legacy is really about service. From poetry and storytelling to mentorship and community building, this conversation is full of wisdom, heart, and reminders that your gifts were never meant to be kept to yourself.

Whether you're a poet, creative, community advocate, or someone trying to find your voice, this episode will remind you that the things we create can outlive us and continue to bring people together long after we're gone.
