Welcome to GENUINE, the podcast. I’m Sarah Lipton, and my co-host is Carlton Green. Today, we are thrilled to introduce you to our guest, Kute Blackson. I first interviewed Kute for The Best Year Of Your Life Summit.

Kute Blackson was born in Ghana, West Africa. His multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father gives him a unique lineage that lays the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts. He is a charismatic speaker, known for his visionary and transformational teachings, and the author of the nationally bestselling book, You Are the One. Kute’s work focuses on offering a fresh and bold look at spiritual awareness. Stay tuned for more!

Today, we will share my interview with Kute and feature some of his inspirational music. You will also hear an exciting snippet of a new song by Justin Michael Williams. In this episode, we unpack what genuine means to Kute, and he talks to us about what inspires him. Be sure to stay tuned all the way to the end of the show, when you will hear my cousin, Regina Krummell, who co-authored my new book, The Harmony of Dissonance, and her husband, William, define the word genuine.

Show highlights:
