Meet C. DeVone | DJ, Podcast Producer and Mental Health Advocate
We had the good fortune of connecting with C. DeVone and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi C., what matters most to you?
If it cost my peace of mind, it’s not worth it.! My mental health and overall health is a top priority for me. I have to feel align with my work. Happiness comes from within my mental state. How can I show up my best, if I am negative and unhappy!
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
