He opens up about guidance from his inner child and what it means to pursue purpose beyond fame, the challenge of ageing in hip-hop, the heartbreak of leaving Chocolate City, and how that moment of loss became a turning point for growth.Two decades later, M.I’s voice remains a guide for what it means to build, to lead, and to last.
