In this episode we had the honor to speak with entrepreneur and poetic artist Jose Cordon, known as CordonConcepts, is a sought after spoken word poet, Antioch’s Poet Laureate, and founder of Grassroots Poetry. His upbringing in a church-going immigrant home taught him the value of faith, work ethic, and service.

In that spirit, Cordon has helped develop and launch 2 art and culture programs in Contra Costa County. His captivating poetry has been viewed millions of times across social media and has been shared with the US Treasury, Google, and several universities and organizations nationwide.

He’s been featured in billboard campaigns, documentaries, and in an award-winning short film. Cordon combines his experience as a community organizer and son of immigrants to deliver original, moving, and educational poems that are changing the way people think about poetry.

His poetry can be found on social media, Youtube, and music streaming platforms @CordonConcepts
