Summary: Welcome back to Starting With A Story! Starting With A Story is a podcast that's dedicated to motivating and inspiring you to grow and connect with others each day through storytelling. Today, you will be hearing from another musician, and one with quite the story. His name is Jermaine Tolbert, but you might know him by the name of Nate Calloway! He is a singer, songwriter, and author based out of Austin, TX. In his younger years, he spent endless hours in basements and restaurants with his buddies performing for their dream. Several connections and one performance later, they found themselves in the midst of signing a record deal with THE Pharrell Williams! Unfortunately, Jermaine was diagnosed with schizophrenia and depression and made the toughest decision of his life…to walk away. Today we dive into his journey ever since and how he has transformed his negative circumstances into a beautiful mission to spread knowledge to the world about mental health illnesses, music, and taking care of oneself.
