Matt Sawyer AKA noMad is a rapper from St. Paul, Minnesota who hadn't put much thought into writing anything about Tourette Syndrome until his producer told him to. Seems like it would be a challenge to condense a life of experience with TS, associated school-ground ridicule and personal healing into a radio-length song. But he'd spent a lot of time learning himself, and the instincts poured out of him. This conversation captures a lot of what orbited that process and how it's good to evaluate ourselves and whether we're doing what we want or what society wants. The measures of prestige sometimes have nothing to do with our own personal quests, Matt points out. Major takeaways here. Do not miss this episode.
