BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - s4story -- Grammy-Winning Producer Kelvin Wooten Headlines Season 2 Premiere of NOWINCLUDED Unfiltered

New season opens with an honest conversation about creativity, mental health, and building a sustainable career

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Acclinate launched Season 2 of NOWINCLUDED Unfiltered, its podcast exploring conversations that shape healthier communities. The new season opens with Grammy Award-winning producer Kelvin Wooten, whose three-decade career has included collaborations with some of music's most recognizable artists while championing a more sustainable approach to creativity and personal well-being.

Hosted by Acclinate Co-founder Tiffany Whitlow, the episode explores how long-term success depends on more than talent. Wooten reflects on lessons learned throughout his career, including the role that mental health, nutrition, rest, and community have played in sustaining creativity over time.

"People often celebrate the finished work without seeing what it takes to stay healthy enough to create it," said Whitlow. "Kelvin brings an honest perspective on balancing ambition with well-being, and that's exactly the kind of conversation we want NOWINCLUDED Unfiltered to foster."
