Cupid Shuffle anyone? This episode we sit down with the Line Dance King himself, Cupid, the creator of the iconic "Cupid Shuffle." Line dancing has been on fire this year, and for good reason. It’s more than moves; it’s culture, connection, and a movement rooted in community.

After 7 years of knowing each other online, we finally linked up in person to chop it up about legacy, creativity, health, and how one song became the soundtrack of cookouts, reunions, weddings, and beyond.

Virginia, this one’s for you. I went back to my hometown barbershop and talked with Steve Seargeant(Barber) who’s been cutting my hair for over 20 years. We talked about life and how he’s been building community one haircut at a time.

From the laughs to the lessons, this conversation is a tribute to Elite Barbershop; the shop that helped shape me into the man I am today. A huge shoutout to Craig Parson for being in the video as well. 🎙️ Tap in and hear the story behind the chair.
