Black 2 the Basics Podcast

Let's take a trip down memory lane right quick. How about we go back to a time when Boy Bands & Girl Groups were what every little kid adored. Or what about when you had to get off the internet so someone could use the phone? Maybe even when you had to practice your favorite wresting move on your younger siblings. But who could forget a time when Black TV shows ruled the airwaves? If you haven't guessed it yet we're talking about the 90s. Which many would agree is one of the greatest decades ever! Today we take it back to when things were much more simply and everything wasn't on social media. Let's be honest, when you think about the 90s you instantly have a memory that comes to mind and it's usually filled with a sense of happiness. Join us as we talk about why we feel the 90s were so great especially for black people. This truly was a time when representation was at an all time high for us and want to take the time to discuss what we can learn from that era. So go grab your pager, starter jackets & airmax 95s as we travel to the great decade that we call the 90s. Say it with us... I'm So 90s!!!

Since we were younger we've heard people tell us to follow our dreams or to never let our dreams die,  but what about actually living them? We spend so much time daydreaming about things that we  would like to happen but never take the time to try and make those things come to life.  Well today we sit down with Anthony Hezekiah, Founder of LORDS clothing brand! LORDS which is an acronym for Living Our Ridiculous Dreams, is a brand that was created in 2013 to help inspire people to live their ridiculous dreams. Anthony shares his thoughts on living your dream and even some of the challenges that comes with creating a brand. He even tells us why it's so important to encourage people to live their ridiculous dream. I mean it's one thing to talk about living a dream but to create a brand that is a walking mantra to turn our dreams into reality is such an amazing thing. So today we ask you, what is your ridiculous dream?

We share some of the people that have made an impact on us, both good & bad. Lastly we offer advice to those that are looking to make an impact in whatever capacity available.

Since we were kids many of us were told to go to college so we can get great jobs and then retire. But rarely do people teach their children about being business owners or even entrepreneurs. It's almost as if people find out that they can have their own businesses much later on in life. Today we close out our Bull City Series as we interview with Tim Jones who's been been an entrepreneur for more than 15 years. We take a dive into what being an entrepreneur really means and some of the struggles that come with entrepreneurship.

We're Backkk!!! Season 2 is finally here after a few months off & we couldn't be more excited!

It’s a feeling that’s smooth and caresses you both physically and mentally. When your back is against the wall and the feeling of defeat sets in, it's that extra push to carry you through. 

It’s no secret that a woman’s touch is like no other, but even still do we properly protect and uplift our women? Are our women treated fairly or is the stigma that “it’s a man world” still placed on their backs for the world to see? Women often give so much of themselves, and diminish their entire existence so that others can be nurtured and grow. 

This week's episode is not only the start of season 2, but a further look into the pillars of most households.
