Meet J No The Sun King & Eyebee Knowing

We recently connected with J No The Sun King & Eyebee Knowing and have shared our conversation below.

Hi J No The Sun King & Eyebee Knowing, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

J-No the Sun King:
“I got my work ethic from my father—no question about it.”

Growing up, I watched a man who never took shortcuts. My father is a workaholic in the purest sense—not because he was chasing status or accolades, but because he saw providing for his family as a personal mission. His alarm clock seemed to go off before the sun even considered rising, and even when his body was tired, his commitment never wavered.

What stuck with me wasn’t just how hard he worked, but how much pride he took in it. Whether he was on the job or fixing something around the house, he approached everything with the same level of care and responsibility. That mindset imprinted itself on me early: if you’re going to do something, do it with integrity and give it your all.

My father didn’t have to preach about dedication—he lived it. And watching him carry the weight of an entire family with relentless drive taught me that showing up every day, especially when it’s hard, is a form of love. That’s the foundation of my work ethic: not just working hard, but working with heart.

Eyebee Knowing:
“I got my work ethic from Annchelle—the first person who ever got me a job.”

Before I ever clocked in or filled out a W-2, there was Annchelle. She saw something in me before I saw it in myself. She didn’t hand me a job—she handed me a standard. From her i learned if I don’t work, I don’t eat.

She didn’t give out praise easily, which made earning it feel like gold. That taught me that respect isn’t given, it’s earned through consistency and character. She was workaholic, so from there I learned to work hard

Being self determined I don’t just work hard—I work with intention, with purpose, and with the kind of fire that says, “I belong here.”

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Eyebee Knowing:
“I’m a podcaster—and it’s more than just a mic and a message for me.”

Podcasting is my therapy and my service at the same time. Every episode is a space for truth, healing, and connection—not just for my audience, but for me too. I’ve realized that when I speak to help others heal, I’m healing myself in the process. That’s what makes it powerful. It’s not about going viral—it’s about going deeper.

This platform has taught me the value of vulnerability, authenticity, and the magic that happens when you share your story. And now, I’m ready to take that energy from behind the mic to the stage. I’m stepping into the next chapter of my purpose: becoming a motivational speaker.

My goal is simple—to remind people that their story matters, their pain has purpose, and their voice can change lives. I’m just getting started, but the fire in me is real, and it’s growing.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

J No the Sun King:
“If I had to narrow it down, the three most important things I’ve learned on my journey are consistency, resourcefulness, and trust in spirit.”

Consistency taught me that talent gets you noticed, but discipline keeps you in the room. It’s not always about making big moves—it’s about showing up, day after day, even when it’s uncomfortable or unclear.

Resourcefulness showed me how to turn “I don’t have” into “let me figure it out.” I learned that creativity isn’t just in what you make—it’s in how you solve problems, how you adapt, and how you make the most of what’s in front of you.

And above all, trusting spirit has been my compass. There were moments I didn’t have the answers or the road map, but I had faith. Faith that I was being guided. Faith that the timing, the lessons, and the redirections were all part of something bigger.

For anyone just starting their journey, my biggest advice is this: grow your network and align yourself with people who are moving in the direction you want to go. Your circle should inspire you, challenge you, and remind you what’s possible. Relationships are currency—spend wisely and invest with intention.

Eyebee Knowing:
“The three most important lessons I’ve learned on my journey so far?”

First, be open to different perspectives. You don’t grow by surrounding yourself with people who always agree with you—you grow by listening, learning, and leaning into conversations that challenge your point of view.

Second, trust yourself. That inner voice? It’s powerful. For a long time, I second-guessed my instincts, waiting for outside validation. But the moment I started moving with confidence in my own vision, doors began to open.

Third, resilience matters in more areas of life than we think. It’s not just about bouncing back from a big loss—sometimes it’s about staying grounded during small, daily battles. Emotional, mental, and spiritual resilience all play a role in how we show up.

And if I could offer one piece of advice to anyone just starting their journey, it would be this: learn to quiet the noise around you. Everybody has an opinion, but not everyone has your vision. Protect your peace. Your clarity depends on it.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?

J No the Sun King:
“Rich Dad, Poor Dad shifted my mindset in a way I’ll never forget.”

That book didn’t just talk about money—it challenged the way I thought about work, wealth, and freedom. It was a wake-up call. It made me question everything I had been taught about success and inspired me to unlearn survival habits and replace them with strategies rooted in ownership and long-term vision.

Reading it reignited something in me. It reminded me why I started, and more importantly, it motivated me to get back to business—but this time, with clarity, purpose, and a renewed drive. It pushed me to stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like a builder, an investor, and a legacy-maker.

What I took away most was this: it’s not just about how much money you make, it’s about how you think about money—how you manage it, multiply it, and use it to create options and opportunities.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad didn’t just motivate me—it reprogrammed me.

Eyebee Knowing:
“Reading The Celestine Prophecy was a turning point in my personal development.”

That book found me at the right time—when I was asking deeper questions about life, energy, and purpose. What stood out most was how it peeled back the layers of inherited patterns—generational curses—and helped me see how cycles of behavior, trauma, and survival can silently pass from one generation to the next.

It taught me to look at my life through a more spiritual and energetic lens. Suddenly, I wasn’t just reacting to what happened around me—I was becoming aware of why. I began to understand how family dynamics, unspoken beliefs, and emotional wounds shape our choices, and how healing them requires both awareness and intention.

The Celestine Prophecy gave me language for things I’d always felt but couldn’t fully explain. It empowered me to take ownership of my energy, to be more present, and to break the patterns that no longer served me—or the generations after me.

That book wasn’t just a read. It was a revelation.
