He talks about singing in Georgian night clubs at 13, to his time in Tialand, then over to being a pastor, then dropping everything and moving to LA, and last as RuPaul Charles\u2019 executive assistant. Oh and did I mention that he is also a writer, director, producer, and actor LOL? If nothing else, you won\u2019t be left unchanged by this conversation; I hope you enjoy my chat with Mykell.<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/whyamipod\/episodes\/Why-Am-I---Mykell-Barlow-e17rikn\">Podcast episode on Anchor here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/whyamipod\/embed\/episodes\/Why-Am-I---Mykell-Barlow-e17rikn\" width=\"400px\" height=\"102px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">Youtube version here:<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7pOyYaqpSfc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">\n<div class=\"DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"97ugl\" data-offset-key=\"b0nt9-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"b0nt9-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3h599-0-0\">Please show them some love on their socials here: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mykell\/\"><span data-offset-key=\"3h599-1-0\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mykell\/<\/span><\/a><span data-offset-key=\"3h599-2-0\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/officialmykell\/\"><span data-offset-key=\"3h599-3-0\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/officialmykell\/<\/span><\/a><span data-offset-key=\"3h599-4-0\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/officialMYKELL\"><span data-offset-key=\"3h599-5-0\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/officialMYKELL<\/span><\/a><span data-offset-key=\"3h599-6-0\">.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"97ugl\" data-offset-key=\"3di9q-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"12otu-0-0\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">If you want to <\/span><strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">support the podcast<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> you can do so via <\/span><a style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/whyamipod\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/whyamipod<\/a><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> (this gives you access to <\/span><strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">bonus content including their Fantasy Restaurant!<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">)<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Why Am I, a podcast that is all about having conversations with interesting people to try and trace a path to where they find themselves today. &nbsp;My guest this go around is Mykell Barlow, who is about as multifaceted as they come.
