Sit Down with Martyn Joseph

Pull up a chair for a wisdom-filled conversation with Martyn Joseph! With a career spanning over 40 years, Martyn (sometimes referred to as The Welsh Springsteen) has 27 studio albums, over half a million record sales and has given thousands of concerts. Martyn takes us back to his earliest recollections of hearing protest songs - long before he started to craft excellent ones of his own. He chronicles a history of life-changing philanthropic experiences and charitable work before forming Let Yourself Trust, with his wife, Justine. Martyn describes Let Yourself Trust’s (letyourself.net) unique model and excellent mission – filled with heart and commitment - for funding small charities that are often underfunded. Martyn’s fans are very much involved in supporting the charities selected by Let Yourself Trust and even offer suggestions of other deserving organizations to Martyn as he tours. He details the power of his group volunteer trips and is filled with pride by the travelers’ determination to go back to offer additional support in their own ways. One of the biggest take-aways from this conversation is hearing Martyn’s insights about today’s world, his gratitude for a place in it and his appreciation for his audience. Martyn released his "masterful and career defining" (Fatea UK) album, This Is What I Want to Say, earlier this year.
