King Legend Talks is a podcast started by Deion Campbell in July 2020. The show started off with a bang! Gaining support from people such as Fat Joe and Boston Scott, NFL running back of the Philadelphia Eagles. The show that first started off only to listeners on Spotify and Google Podcast is now widely accepted in the industry and has earned placement with iheartradio. We asked Campbell where did the idea to start a podcast come from?
He replied,
“I started the podcast after recovering from my encounter with COVID-19. I spent 12 days on a ventilator and over 40 days in the hospital.. my passion was photography and due to my new found nerve damage in my right arm.. I had to put down my camera for a while and find a different way to be creative. People used to always tell me that I had a radio voice. That’s when the idea of King Legend Talks came from. I was talking to pro fitness trainer Kim Reeves on Instagram Live one day and our conversation was so Legendary that I found my calling! We discussed following dreams and making the best out of everyday. After our conversation instead of going back to focusing on the things I couldn’t do.. I decided to focus on the things I could do. Which were, Inspire others by using the voice God gave me.”
The thing that makes King Legend talks so unique is the way he has merged social media with his audience. He interviews all his special guest LIVE on Instagram giving the audience a chance to be a part of the conversation. He also promotes each interview like a event getting people motivated to tune in. Campbell’s personality also plays a huge role in the show’s success. He has a way of asking the special guest questions that digs down into their past, creating responses that motivate and inspire people. During one of his recent interviews with Entrepreneur Tony Pec .. He was given praised for being good at doing his research and Tony expressed to him how he asked great questions and encouraged people who are wanting to start a podcast to take notes from Campbell’s interview style.
King Legend Talks is now in the race to being nominated for the Best New Podcast award presented by Podcastys .. a platform dedicated to giving awards to podcasters across the globe. We asked Campbell to tell us how does it feel to get so much support in such a short period of time?
He replied,
“I appreciate all the support the show has gotten so far. It still has a long way to go and I wouldn’t have been able to make the amount of progress I made to this far without the help of all my wonderful special guest! They are the true heroes. Some of them didn’t know me at all before I reached out to them on Instagram. They could have ignored my DM and the interview would have never happened. I get so many NO’s or left on *seen* before I get an actual yes for an interview. I am forever grateful for their willingness to help build the platform into something Legendary!”
