BIG TALK with Christian Henley

Part 1 of a series of conversations with Independent Filmmaker Garrett Montgomery, covers the unspoken connection of his love for film and the close (yet distant) relationship with his biological father. In this episode, we even cover a bit my background and the pieces of people that shaped my world view. Stay tuned for an ongoing conversation with G.C. Mont as we delve into some of the philosophies & religions that color his lens as award-winning filmmaker...

Two athletes. Two hyper-competitors with two drastically different approaches. In one relationship...

Follow along as I sit down with Kenny Cooper and Murray Gray to discuss life as newly engaged and newly shacked. 

Ms. Fiona Rene and I discuss the concept of nakedness, finding our "middle space", and a radical approach to trust I have yet to hear. 

...And much more. 

Today's discussion covers everything from Lisa's intended path as a female Christian pop star to their journey identifying as Non-Binary.  As a white woman having lived in Kenosha, WI (recently made popular by the shooting of Jacob Blake) we discuss the psychology of Karens that Lisa admits to having been in parts of her own life. Now, as a licensed Trauma-Informed Yoga instructor, she touches on developmental trauma and how we may begin the process of "shaking off" past events that may still be hanging on... 

If Adele's eponymous albums are used to capture the particularly significant years in song form, then "ADOLPHUS 27"  would be the most appropriate title for our discussion. Today, I sit down with Adolphus Willis of Roberta, Georgia as we discuss his transformation resulting from a life-threatening but also life-giving car accident that almost took his at the young age of 27. Some of our conversation happened offline, much about his deeply conservative-Christian upbringing, his meticulous detail to his life's brand, and a long history of avoiding his vulnerability. Today, a changed man, we discuss life events he has yet to share and a new lifestyle that I long suspected, but never felt I could ask...

My friend Reuschal Jackson and I discuss what it means to make a name for himself while accepting the fact that he's never heard his fathers'. 

Actress Zoe Cipres discusses taking ownership of her sexual journey. Even if it led to a lawsuit with one of Hollywood's A-list celebrities. 

I talk with Fraternity brothers Charles Wilson & Raheem Manning, members of  Alpha Phi Alpha of Clark Atlanta University. We talk Greek life, Collegiate friendship,  and a reality TV show that almost blew it all. 

My chat with David opens up a dialogue about the importance of not assigning meaning to life's everyday data.
