This episode is for the creatives and creators! We had the pleasure of speaking with 26 year old, London-based poetic phenomenon, Tom Roberts, aka Tomfoolery. His poem “The Great Realization” has been viewed over 60 million times and been transcribed into languages all over the world. Tom’s mission to spread a message of hope, optimism, and socially constructive ideas inspired us deeply and we knew you’d love to hear from him too.
In the early stages of the pandemic, Tom started putting out narrated videos that caught global attention. His sincerity, honesty, and ability with words made a lasting impression, enjoy this uplifting conversation with the one and only Tomfoolery.
