How often do you talk about hitmen, ex-girlfriends, poetry, and shitty jobs in the same conversation?
Probably pretty often if you're talking with @honeycopy.
I had the pleasure of chatting with this badass poet.
These were my five favorite topics

1/ The value of hiring a speaking coach.
Cole has been working with @FerraroOnAir—speaking coach extraordinaire—to sharpen his skills.
Improvements include:
• Less rambling
• More willingness to appear on podcasts
• Unreal ability to tell a story

2/ The importance of taking risks.
Cole worked as a carpet remover to support himself while writing.
"The embarrassment of ripping out that carpet hurt a hell of a lot less than sitting in an office doing a job I hated and not being able to pursue that dream of writing."

3/ Your taste will always exceed your ability in the beginning.

4/ Make your writing relatable by adding emotion.
Cole wrote a piece about his breakup that will kick you in the stomach.
Every dude will know this feeling.
He tells the story in this clip.
