Beauty and The Beastmode

Jeff launched a social experiment on his Facebook page and the results are interesting to say the least. And then it gets deep when Jeff and Yaya discuss gun ownership.

Jeff and Yaya are joined by a Live Studio Audience. Friends join in on the podcast and topics include the unfortunate events in Orlando, Facebook Trolls, Social Media, and even Tupac and Biggie. This was a fun episode and it was great to include a few Beauty and the Beastmode Listeners. Knowledge Bombs were being dropped all podcast long. Also, pay close attention to a future college athlete and his perspective on social media and what it takes to be successful.

Jeff and Yaya play catch up about the last several weeks. This episode is the most important episode for B&BM. Jeff and Yaya talk about the Stanford rape case. The content within in this podcast is important but certain language may not be suitable for all. The Beastmode moment and Jeff's Joint are unlike any that you've ever heard on the show. After Jeff's Joint, Jeff opens up about his past with a moment that will hopefully reach and help other victims.

In Episode 12 Jeff and Yaya sit down with Mark Cubbedge. Mark is a father, an author, and a professional photographer. One defining moment sent Mark's journey on a different course (pun intended). From writing for the NFL and PGA, to eventually writing his first book, Mark's story has chapters that could stand alone as their own book. Mark's new book 'Faces of Freedom' is due out this Summer. Faces of Freedom shares the stories of Veterans from WWII to Operation Iraqi Freedom, that would otherwise be untold.

Andrew Coughlan is a Father, a Veteran, an organ donor, and a humble servant. This is a gripping and candid interview with Andrew about his transition to civilian life after the military, the struggles, the challenges, and how he fought hard to overcome those. He also shares about his recent experience of donating a kidney to a fellow Veteran. This is an important story about adversity, perseverance, and courage.

Have you ever wondered who you would invite to join you for dinner? What if you could only choose three people? Who would they be? Jeff and Yaya open up about how social media has trapped their kids minds. Jeff and Yaya talk about the three people they would want to have dinner with. The episode gets deep when Yaya talks about the Grandfather that he has never met. The Beastmode moment is courtesy of a cartoon character and Jeff's Joint has some interesting history.

Jeff and Yaya talk about the language of LOVE. Jeff shares a beautiful and descriptive story about how he and his wife met. He talks about making it through ups and downs and what it means to build a foundation. Jeff wakes his wife up to guess her love language. Maybe he gets it right, maybe he doesn't. The Beastmode Moment is about loving yourself. Jeff's Joint is a trifecta!

Jeff and Yaya throw caution to the wind by using laughter as medicine in this episode. Jeff talks about H. Tubman on the twenty and how he feels Prince was just a dude. Yaya's parents crash the podcast with a phone call, which leads to a funny conversation. Jeff's Joint is all about the Ska!

Jeff and Yaya talk about how they overcome fear. Jeff talks about his Pops punching some random guy in a mosh pit. The Beastmode Moment is brought to you by the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant. Jeffs Joint is once again on point and eerily ties into an earlier conversation.
