In this episode, we honor the history of Juneteenth and sit down with entrepreneur, wellness leader, and community builder Tyler Phillips — a man who has turned pain into purpose, systems into soul work, and youth programs into million-dollar movements.

From football fields to federal funding, Tyler has made it his mission to equip the next generation with the tools they need to thrive mentally, physically, and financially. We dive deep into identity, ancestral trauma, financial literacy, and the cultural dynamics of being biracial in America. Tyler keeps it raw and real about the challenges of starting grassroots initiatives, leading as a father of three, and holding space for both wellness and rebellion.

This isn’t just a conversation about freedom — it’s a masterclass in soul-led leadership, generational healing, and what it really means to be totally committed to your vision.

What We Cover:

• Why Juneteenth is more than history — it’s a mirror
• Navigating identity as a biracial leader in Black spaces
• The impact of sports on purpose, resilience & business
