It's been a weird year for all of us, and I'm sure like me, there's a lot of folks that had to celebrate an anniversary or birthday maybe even a wedding at their homes because of this COVID lockdown. Now that we're almost 4 months into worldwide pandemic, everything has changed and we have thoughts on the matter.

The wife joins me on this episode to discuss the year that everyone is making fun of, 2020. However, during this time we're doing our best to stay positive and make a difference to help each other which we believe all this will end up being a good thing for us. #weareteamhuman

Even though I'm not directly impacted by racism each day, I strongly believe we can't make change without helping each other. If your teammate falls down, you pick them up and walk them off the court.

On this deep episode, I discuss the challenges our country is facing but it's important during this time each of stay objective. Not one person knows all the facts, in fact there's only one thing we know for sure, we're all human. We are on Team Human and it's time we act accordingly it's about time we act it.

I reference numerous videos and subjects that experts discuss which you can see everything on my YouTube video by CLICKING HERE but if I stated wrong info, please send me a DM on Instagram and Twitter as I'd like to learn the correct information. Stay safe friends.

This is more of a sarcastic title as I chat with an old friend Bobby Hicks. We absolutely haven't grown up haha, but we're getting there. I was lucky enough to be a guest on Bobby’s Instagram LIVE last week and it was so good, I decided to share it with all as a podcast.

On this episode, we chat about everything from film, podcasting, to working out and even my long battle with Crohn's. I think you'll enjoy this as much as we liked talking about. Can’t wait to have him on the podcast again, what do you guys think?

Bobby has been a true inspiration when it comes to film making, lighting and photography, so if you want to learn some new tips or could use a professional like him, check out his company Fellow Flim Productions and visit his instagram at www.instagram.com/thisfellow to learn more.
