Changing The Narrative

Join Duane, Terrence and friend of the show, Alfred Burgesson as we gather for part 1 of 3 of our Nova Scotia Black Excellence convo. How do we support each other? How do we build each others businesses? How do we hold each other accountable?

It's not often three black men in the entrepreneurship world get to share their unfiltered perspectives with the world. You're welcome. Enjoy! 

This week we catch our feet after some technical difficulties to talk men getting new hairlines, professional sports in Halifax and Lauren's cousins in Crazy Rich Asians. We also get into the ways in which musicians like Travis Scott and Nicki Minaj are making more money off their art by packaging it in creative ways. Want to learn how? Listen NOW!

After two weeks of chaos, the crew is back to catch up and talk sex, dating and slow jams! We talk about Duane's family adventure to PEI, Lauren's in crunch mode getting ready for Scotland and Terrence is back from Toronto with some stories to tell! 

What's the dating landscape like on Tinder these days? How do women from the big city differ from the smaller ones? Do you really want a woman with lip injections and oh yeah, you know Terrence was married before, right?
