Waddup WORLd and Welcom Back to The WORLDs iLLEST Podcast Through My Eyes with 1 Eyed Willie. This is Season 2 Episode 20: Growing Consciousness Feat. Leo Carver.

Inside episode 20 I had the opportunity to finally catch up to my homie from my Fort Knox days about what he has had going on since 1999. We kick off the episode taking it back to our days living on Knox, how he got the nickname "Skeelo",  attending Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life" tour, seeing Dame Dash, meeting Beans and Memphis Bleek, how DJ Clue played us, to meeting DJ Kid Capri and him thinking we were jackboys. We briefly talk about our dear friend Talese Burk's untimely passing and how Leo and Talese were headed to Howard University to attend college.

From there we take it to the music and discuss Leo's aka Verb's career in music while attending Kentucky State University. While at KSU Leo would take up the moniker Verbal and begin building a name off of making dope music which landed him with his crew "Slaughterhouse". (If you go back to the Jon Woo episode Leo is who Woo says was coming back to get more and more beats for this group). Leo talks about traveling the country doing shows, graduating from KSU with a Bachelor's degree in Biology (graduated with honors) while chasing his rap dreams, making it into the SOURCE Magazine, to doing his thing on the radio. 

While chasing the dream of being an artists Leo would meet his wife Dr. Melissa Carver and begin to transition out of music into other things. Being a student of the game and studying his whole life Leo whole dig into the Holistic Lifestyle where he is now serving as Ayuredic Lifestyle instructor, life coach and Ayuredic consultant. He is well versed in lifestyle-based medicine and transformational healing. Leo and his wife host various conferences, seminars, corporate events, retreats and private sessions for those interested in the lifestyle.
