[Intro]
“Yeah… they tried to tell me I’m different now,
But I’m still the same soul, same fire… listen.”

[Verse One]
Woke up, doctor hit me with the news,
Life flipped quick, had to change up my views.
Daily pills lined up on the counter,
Freedom feels distant, like I can’t reach around her.
No more late nights wildin’ with the crew,
Gotta plan every move, watch the things that I do.
Feels heavy, like an anchor to the floor,
But I ain’t chained down—I’ma break through that door.

Can’t let this label be the cage that I’m in,
I define myself, not the state that I’m in.
They stare like I’m fragile, like glass in the wind,
But my spirit’s titanium—stronger than sin.

[Hook]
I live to inspire, not inspire to live,
This weight won’t break me, I got more to give.
Still chasing my bucket list, dreams on the run,
Don’t tell me I’m finished, I’ve only begun.

[Verse Two]
Friends look different, their eyes full of doubt,
Treat me like a stranger, like they’re phasing me out.
But I’m the same me—same laugh, same jokes,
Same fire in the belly, same dreams, same hopes.
So don’t change your tone when you’re talking to me,
Don’t pity my steps, I walk proud, I’m free.
If you see me as weaker, then you’ve already lost,
I’m the role model shining through the weight and the cost.

Still gonna skydive, still gonna roam,
Still gonna travel every corner far from home.
Check the list off, one dream at a time,
Prove that limits only live in the mind.

[Hook]
I live to inspire, not inspire to live,
This weight won’t break me, I got more to give.
Still chasing my bucket list, dreams on the run,
Don’t tell me I’m finished, I’ve only begun.

[Verse Three]
Maybe one day I’ll be who I envisioned,
A light in the dark, with a fearless mission.
Family and friends see the strength, not the scar,
Remember the soul, not the sickness I spar.
So if you orbit near, just keep the vibe true,
I’m the same old me, so be the same old you.
Life’s not about waiting, it’s about how you fight,
How you rise through the struggle and turn pain into light.

Illness is a chapter, not the book that I write,
I’m the author of tomorrow, and my future’s in sight.
So if they ask who I am, let my actions define,
I’m the proof that you can fall and still rise every time.

[Outro Hook]
I live to inspire, not inspire to live,
This weight won’t break me, I got more to give.
Still chasing my bucket list, dreams on the run,
Don’t tell me I’m finished, I’ve only begun.

Live To Inspire

A song all about letting go and moving on.
It's all in the past now, we look towards the present and the future.
We can't escape the past completely, but we certainly can not allow it to get us down anymore.

Introduction: I'm not mad anymore. A Memoir of Revenge, Passion, and Forgiveness

Lezly Kaye shares a raw and transformative journey of learning to thrive in business, motherhood, and love without sacrificing any of them. After building multimillion-dollar businesses and chasing external success to compensate for childhood wounds, she reached a breaking point that led to a spiritual awakening, deep self-reflection, and a radical reevaluation of her life. Through her experiences, she discovered that true fulfilment comes from integrating all aspects of life—relationships, motherhood, personal growth, and business—rather than compartmentalising them. Lezley emphasises the importance of self-awareness, conscious communication, and creating safe feedback loops in relationships, where both partners hold space for vulnerability, emotion, and reflection. By learning to self-source safety, navigate triggers, and embrace both her power and her desire to be held, she illustrates how it’s possible to build deep connection and love while still achieving professional success.

God Made Me For This

In this episode I speak to author and philanthropist Domenic Aversa about his fascinating life, the status quo and the importance of adversity

Why Adversity Matters

Spooky Szn is a bold prelude to the upcoming Adversity solo album — a cinematic, seasonal body of work blending eerie confidence, sharp lyricism, and late-night emotion. Produced entirely by DJ Milkywaay and mixed/mastered by Chase Briley (additional production by Lookout), the EP captures that Halloween edge with real-life reflections on ambition, pressure, and perseverance.

The intro track “Wake Up” delivers a haunting yet triumphant energy — an anthem for dream chasers shaking off doubt, cutting through distractions, and stepping into their moment. This is the calm before the storm… Spooky Szn has arrived.

Dr. Patrick Leddin is the co-author of a new book titled "Disrupt Everything—and Win". This book is about how life’s biggest disruptions, from career pivots to personal upheavals, can become turning points if we learn to harness them.

Dr. Leddin joins the show to further discuss the book, and to talk about how to turn life’s chaos and curveballs into catalysts for growth.

"Never Surrender" is an electrifying anthem of resilience and unity. The lyrics capture the relentless fight against adversity, celebrating scars as symbols of strength and courage. From the opening lines—“Trapped in a cage, can’t find my way”—to the soaring chorus, the song embodies the spirit of perseverance: pushing through storms, breaking chains, and refusing to bow down.
The chorus delivers the heartbeat of the track: “Life never ends, it’s a circle we ride.” It’s a powerful reminder that life is a continuous journey, fueled by passion and determination. Musically, the song blends driving riffs with anthemic melodies, creating an atmosphere that feels both rebellious and empowering—a soundtrack for fighters, dreamers, and anyone who refuses to quit.

Raw and real conversations on courage, consciousness and leadership.

Craypoe Productions presents an eclectic collection that brings together a diverse lineup of talented guest musicians, each lending their own unique voice to the songs of Bob Craypoe. Every lyric across the album was written by Bob, who also handled full production duties to ensure the record’s cohesive sound and vision.

The sessions were recorded at Bob Craypoe’s Crackle and Hiss Studios in Stillwater Township, New Jersey—a place where raw creativity and authenticity meet. Adding a rich and unexpected dimension to the project, the strings were performed by members of the Crandon Lakes Philharmonic Orchestra, giving the album moments of orchestral depth alongside its grittier tones.

The guest list spans across genres, featuring country pickers, punk rebels, seasoned rockers, and soulful blues musicians. This mix of backgrounds creates a dynamic listening experience, with each track carrying the spirit of collaboration while staying true to the working-class stories and heartfelt grit captured in Bob’s lyrics.

At its heart, this is a testament to the power of music as a shared language—rooted in tradition yet unafraid to cross boundaries, and always grounded in the voice of the people.
