Deeply Rooted. A Web-Series on Mindset.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 4 of Deeply-Rooted. This week’s featured guest is the poster child for what it means to make one's life their own…and to have the ability to write their own next chapter. Through adversities galore, Daniel ‘Dank’ Martin is the epitome of the belief that you - as a person - already contain within you everything that is needed in order to build the life you want…rolling with the core trust in himself that no matter what went wrong in his past, he held still the capability to do things right. Chiiiiiiills.

From serving eight years in prison, to obtaining a degree in social work - with an emphasis in substance abuse - and a minor in poverty studies…there are no words to properly represent the level of inner-strength, resilience, and/or knowledge of self required to pull off moves of that magnitude. Success - as defined by this week’s guest, Daniel ‘Dank’ Martin - is to pick a worthy goal and to carry it out to the end…a success he’s experienced and achieved a zillion times over.

Buckle up…we’re going deep.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 3 of Deeply-Rooted.  This week’s featured guest is the homie Brandon Crowson…a Jedi level force with the type of energy you want to marinate in. Professionally, he is a self-made freelance video producer, currently working on his second film - personally, he is a self proclaimed story teller. Perfectly managing to mesh the two, Brandon has created a world for himself in which his personal authentic self and his professional side continuously complement and enhance the other, on cycle. Although, Brandon claims it is stubbornness that drives him…it’s evident in how he rolls – self motivating, self taught, self reflective – and in his willingness to be open and creatively vulnerable in expression…that seems to be behind what truly fuels him. Simply put, it is his core self – the passion that is him, who he is at his core, his light…and please believe, it’s majestic af.

The way in which Brandon’s brain wraps itself around the world and in turn, reflects its findings back is beyond impressive.  It is a big phat WIN for neurodivergence, for sure.  Moving the Overton Window to the left and an Eyedea Lyric Billboard…this dude’s unique - in the most authentically simple, yet brilliant way possible.

Buckle up…we’re going deep.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 of Deeply-Rooted.  It’s raining flowers up in here today with this week’s guest…Mr Christian Adair. Born and raised in the LFK, it is Christian’s boots on the ground approach that’s got us feeling the love and has us vibing sky high, sky high.

For Christian, the definition of success is simple…getting paid to do whatever it is you wanna do - doesn’t matter how much it pays - if you get to get up on a daily basis and can’t wait to get to work, truly excited to be there…no clock watching involved…that’s success. Rolling like a modern day Renaissance man - Christian’s list of personal, as well as, professional achievements is long, diverse, and spot on, mirrors his ‘it’s not what you say, it’s what you do’ mindset and mantra. Flowers galore, my friends.

Buckle up…we’re going deep

SEASON TWO PREMIER Y’ALL!!!  NO words can express how excited, happy, and beyond grateful we are to have you all rolling with us on our Deeply-Rooted Mission - kill the ego, ignite the soul…ultimately defining the vibe of the tribe. We appreciate you all for being a part of the Deeply-Rooted tribe and by bringing your ‘you’, we thank you for helping us to define the vibe. With that said…

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1 of Deeply-Rooted. Can’t think of a better way to start this season off than with this week’s guest….LFK business owner and good friend of the show…Wayne Jackson. Professionally, Wayne found success in business after establishing Go Hard Training in 2009, but it is his definition of success on an intimate level…the ability to maintain an even balance to all areas in life, although hard, to not allow one area in life to take away from another and in general, to be a better person…that speaks to who Wayne is at his core.

That being said…when asked what drives Wayne Jackson the most, without hesitation, his reply = his wife and daughter…providing the PERFECT segway to give a MUCH deserved shout out to wife Adrianne – a KICK ASS doing the damn thing entity of her own – and daughter January….a beautiful family who has persevered, fought through the shit, and are still here…talking GOAL LEVEL partnership. Without Adrianne - quote/unquote - Wayne Jackson, simply wouldn’t look the same.

ALLLLLLLL that being said, it is Wayne’s desire to leave a personal legacy in which others can build off of...to provide a place in which another can grow from and better themselves in some way – be it physically, emotionally, financially, personally, however – clearly shows the inner magic that is authentically him.

I meeeaan….A Billboard we didn’t see coming + Q/A on Baby Oil + Shout-Outs + A new vocabulary word + A guest with a mindset disciplined for success and a laser focus on forever persevering - who had the courage to toss what was known, creating instead a personal philosophy and system of his own in which to roll by = A Can’t Beat – Can’t Miss - Combo of a SEASON TWO PREMIERE.  No diggity, no doubt.

Buckle up….we’re going deep.

Welcome to Season One, Episode 8 of Deeply-Rooted – AKA - our FIRST EVER Season Finale!!!

Thank you for rolling with us all season – our FIRST EVER Season Finale guest is – the man, the myth, the legend - Anthony “Savage Family” Hunter. Anthony’s music career – as part of an organization called the Savage Family – started off less about the music and much more about challenging the ongoing genocide of his people. For Anthony, music is simply a tool with a wide reach – a means to an end - utilized to get his message across. The target audience = youth.

Self-described “Agent of Chaos” – Anthony’s goal is to insight thought…thought that keeps his people in a position to being imprisoned - to be an agent of chaos. If you think of a whirlpool…how you deal with what gets pulled into that, how you bring in all challenges, how you move with those things and then utilize them to create change is to be an “Agent of Chaos” – for Anthony “Savage Family” Hunter Savington, this how success is defined.

Big picture thinking….authentically self-less in thought, action, desire, and goals…who’s billboard would read “Be Free”…a statement which holds tremendously deep meaning, as explained by our FIRST EVER Season Finale via our guest, Anthony “Savage Family” Hunter Savington.

Buckle up…we’re going deep.

Welcome to Season One, Episode Seven of Deeply-Rooted. This week’s episode is dedicated to Willie Dotson – your impact is felt – when the world counted you out, you wrote your own chapter.

In honor of Willie, that’s spot on, what we’re gonna do….via introducing this week’s guest, Frank “X-Dash” Hensley. Frank is NEXT LEVEL passionate – he RE-DEFINES what it means to be persistent...to persevere – which is fully fueled by an abundance of energy infused with love. All traits which provided him the drive needed to start putting pen to paper at a young age and create an amaaaazing successful career, world, and experience for himself.

Being a BIG BELIEVER of success being an undefinable, intangible thing – it is Frank’s perspective that success is very personal, it’s something you have to make up for yourself…it being something inside you – a very intimate and individual to you sort of thing…and once you figure that out, hold tight and don’t take no for an answer. Not even joking…simply listening to Frank speak of his passions and perspectives and mindset….is like hanging with an inspirational poster. A breath of much needed fresh air – his energy is most definitely felt and beyond contagious.

Frank “X-Dash” Hensley’s impact wish = to be a vehicle, a conduit, a supporter of projects – to impact those cultures that surround the movements that make the changes….I mean, who wouldn’t wanna hang out with this dude?!?

For all those goodies, plus many more….this week’s show has it all. Buckle up…we’re going deep.

Welcome to Season One, Episode Six of Deeply-Rooted. This week’s guest has a bio that screams ‘takes action’ – in regards to his career, from DVDs to DJing to promotions to the distribution side of it – Daric “DJ Daric B” Bergersen – has a resume which clearly reads as someone who’s not scared to take a shot.

Sprinkle that with an old soul who defines a ‘failure’ as a stepping stone – simply, step one in the process…a word never to be utilized to describe oneself or an action tried. A can’t beat combo, for sure.

The frequency at which Daric’s energy vibrates is off the charts good and can literally be felt as you listen to him speak…his be happy, put your mask on first mentality – forgiveness of self and the ego to the simple genius of rolling with a ‘just try shit’ mindset - Daric “DJ Daric B” Bergersen drops nothing but jewels…aka…leaving prophets and roadmaps.

Buckle up….we’re going deep.

Welcome to Season One, Episode Five of Deeply-Rooted. This week’s guest – coming straight from Lawrence, KS – my personal favorite Lawrence producer, Sean “Approach” Hunt.

A real deal Holyfield advocate of all things LFK – a family man and a true community-oriented individual – Sean’s “Approach” at life is never to chase notoriety, rather the pursuit of simply being a good person…first and foremost….after which, all things will fall into place as they should. Just as refreshing, are Sean’s views of inner-success, knocking down goals, and what he considers ‘’stick to your ribs” important in life.

Authentic to the core – Sean “Approach” Hunt - breaks it down…the state of the world, our lack of/inability for human-to-human interaction, society's failure in embracing our women, trusting who you are at your core and the purity of expressing it, changing the clock, leading by example, the art of ‘stepping back’, and soooooo much more.

A multi-chill inflicting listening experience, for sure. Buckle up…we’re going deep.

Welcome to Season One, Episode Three of Deeply-Rooted. This week’s episode - featuring one of my best friends, Patrick Murphy - is a can’t beat, extra deep dive of an experience...to the depths at which greatness and self collide.  Patrick’s  high vibing - authentic level -  energy, coupled with his full fledged willingness to be real, raw, genuine, honest and intimate while sharing his thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and life experiences, provides listeners with an endless trickle down of solid to the core positive outlooks and takeaways.
