Summary

My HoneyDew this week is musician Philip Bowen! You can listen to his music on any streaming platform. Philip joins me in the studio to Highlight the Lowlights of growing up in West Virginia and chasing his dream of making music. He shares insights into his Lebanese heritage and the cultural diversity of West Virginia. We also discuss the challenges his community has faced amid the opioid epidemic and the lasting impact it has today. Philip opens up about balancing corporate life with his passion for music—until he finally took the leap to pursue it full-time in 2020.
