On this episode we got a chance to sit down with Brandon Adams. Brandon and his family have been pillars of NYC for sometime. In this episode we got to discuss Brandon's journey, we discussed his entrepreneurship and how he has been able to position himself as a NYC ambassador when it comes to NYC grassroots basketball. We also got a chance to discuss the birth of Lloyd's Carrot Cake which is one of the best Carrot Cakes in NYC and the pivotal rule his parents played as well as everything he has been able to learn from them. A truly special episode. Hope you enjoy!

We had the pleasure of sitting down and chopping it up with Nigel Wright and man what a dope conversation, very knowledgeable person. Nigel really has a unique and interesting background. He is currently Global Basketball Marketing for New Balance but his journey leading up to this position is really an interesting one. He put in work with the Players Tribute  as well as help develop the “ The Knucklehead podcast with Q Rich and D Miles He also worked for the company “The Robot” which is ran by Maverick Carter you can even try to google but will find no info on it, so you can tell it’s only for the elite lol. Just a few places Nigel has left his imprint on.  * * Nigel also came up as a Rice Rider so he is not new to this and once you get to hear his journey you are going to understand how inspiring it is. It definitely got my mind working and truly grateful he took the time out and kicked with us. I truly know he is going to do job at New Balance. * * We touched on Kyrie needing a pause for a min, because even I use my mental health days from work when I’m not feeling it lol so what’s the difference? As well as spoke on how former players who are now analyzers criticize those who are playing now. ( I’m talking about trying to kick down players for rating and click bait, I thought the league was supposed to be a fraternity ) and more.... Overall I really enjoyed this sit down...Learned a lot. So many hidden gems  * * * The number of people of color in sports is so so small, that when you see something in that position you have to applaud it because the opportunities are not there.... That’s a narrative that definitely has to change ASAP.

On this episode of the Hey Now Podcast we got a chance to sit down with Actor Denis Mcdonald better known as Reggie from the Bad Boys Franchise. We got a chance to talk about how he got to be apart of the Bad Boys movie as well as what he learned from being on set with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith! Also touched on what would be his next moves as well as touched on "Juicy The Series" which he is currently apart of which was created by Zoey.  

We also got a chance to sit down with up coming artist Yung Abudhabi and got to learn a little bit about him as well as blessed us with a few bars!!!!

On this episode of the HEY NOW Podcast we got a chance to sit down with Christian Brown. We got a chance to dive into Chris’s journey and really learn how he became the person he is today. How basketball helped him shape perspective as well as build some ever lasting relationships. We got a chance to chop it up about his upbringing uptown, his passion for basketball, and knowing from an early age that you have to put in the work in order to get the right results.

Christian journey is a passionate one, with hurdles. The beauties of it was how he was able to pivot around  it all and truly understand his purpose and is now implementing everything he learned into developing the youth of the future. His journey is truly inspiring and motivational.

So sit back and relax and enjoy the journey of Christian Brown.

On the final installment of the Hey Now Podcast season series, we got a recap episode to catch up with one of our HEY NOW Alumni Film Editor, Junior Nunez. Junior has had the pleasure of working on dope projects but what’s even better is knowing that he is self-taught.  

He taught himself the ropes after realizing that he never wanted to hear someone tell him “We have to let you go” ever again. Recently Junior just got done working on the “Hamilton” project which was recently released on Disney plus as well “The Last Dance” the Chicago Bulls Documentary that recently aired on ESPN. Junior journey is one that I truly love and embrace because he could have folded when he got let go from his job.   

He could have totally gone left, but he decided to grind it out and stay the course. Now he is at a position where he gets to decide what projects he wants to work on. That’s how good his craft has gotten and it’s something that I truly admire from him. The ability to not give up and figure it out.

So sit back and relax! This is the Hey Now Podcast!

On this episode of the HEY NOW Podcast we got a chance to sit down and kick with legendary producer Rsonist, known as Heatmakerz. We touched on a few things in this episode. We spoke about how he got into music and producing. How he first linked up with Dip Set as well as what keeps his creative juices going. We also touched on the business of music as well. He definitely drops some gems for us and for those trying to get into the music business. It was truly a pleasure just sitting back and listening to someone who is truly a goat in the game and someone who has produced the soundtrack to our lives coming up! 

So sit back and enjoy the journey of Rsonist...... Heatmakerz...... HEY NOW

On this episode of the Hey Now podcast we got a chance to sit down and chop it with Hector Espinal co-founder of We Run Uptown.  We had a dope conversation regarding how he got into running and how his uptown movement began motivating the people.

He also inspired me to run this years NYC Marathon!

So sit back and relax and listening to the journey of Hector Espinal!

On this episode of the @heynowpodcast we got a chance to sit down with Rashad Bilal from the dynamic duo of Earn Your Leisure. It was a pleasure having him on the show sharing his journey. We got to learn about what motivates him as well as what has motivated him to deliver the message of finicial literacy especially to us people of color and the youth. So it was dope to get a chance to actually listen to what inspires Rashad. I think people will connect more with Rashad because he is just like us, an athlete who wanted to be more for the more than the sports that played and that’s exactly what he has down with @earnyourlesuire.

 He also motivated me into buying stocks lol.  Overall it was just great learning the journey of Rashad because of the many Gems it offered as well as so many lessons that it really gets you thinking differently. Which I believe is something we all need. The ability to look at things from a different perspective.  

 So enough of me. Sit back and enjoy and learn about the journey of Rashad Bilal #heynow

On this episode of The HEY NOW PODCAST we got a chance to sit down and kick with David Cordova of better known as Daves Joint. We got a chance to talk about some high school team and players as well as discuss some of the hottest tournament in NYC. But most importantly we got a chance to sit down and get to know the man behind the lens, the man behind the blog, of capturing some of the best NYC talents and games. David journeys is an interesting one because nothing was handed to him in order for him to be in the position that he is in right now and creating. It was times when he could off quitted because life tense to knock you down. But not David because he always found a way to get the job down. If you ever have a question about a player...... Dave is your guy!!!

Sit back and enjoy the journey of David Cordova aka Daves Joint
