About this conversation.
In this full conversation, Bobby Smith welcomes BeholdManos to explore the experiences and ideas behind his public work. The episode’s published description traces his childhood in Haiti, life in New York, creative projects and fatherhood. It also includes personal spiritual interpretations. Those views are presented as the guest’s perspective, not established fact or Fruit Up guidance.
The conversation moves between everyday responsibilities and the process of making something personal. The chapter guide points to his explanation of the name BeholdManos, discussion of Binaryme, learning from young people and a vision of people exchanging skills. Use it to choose an entry point, or watch from the beginning to hear the full context.
