Let's Get Deep

Is this the end of the saga or just the season? Either way I breakdown my closing thoughts, opinions, and feelings as season one concludes. Short, but sweet I think this episode is what the podcast is all about. It's deep, and I guess the question is can you feel me?

My good friend Traecy Smith and I get on a zoom, and reflect on our journey as friends, our backgrounds, struggles, beliefs, and our understanding of vulnerability. We cover a lot, as we always do, and it may seem like we're talking about one thing when we're really getting at something else entirely. My hope is that in capturing this conversation the audience, can receive and digest some of the many nuggets of wisdom being dropped in this. At the end of the day this episode is really about vulnerability!

I had my cousin and her fiancee on for a deep dive into what led them to jumping the broom. I think it was a great conversation and a bit different from my usual format. I didn't get to make all the edits I initially envisioned, but I think there's some great takeaways from this. Per usual it's a slow build up, but well worth the journey if you ask me ahah. I hope you enjoy!

Jaden Turner and I carve out some time to get back to what we usually do, and give you a front row seat into the melding of our minds. We dive into the idea of resilience, and how we've come to see it in our lives, communities, and the world at large.

My friend Vante and I do a deep dive, and mine some nuggets about gaming as a hobby, culture, industry, etc...

Zach Cross and I make time to discuss the idea of discipline from numerous angles, experiences, and contexts. We hope you find some value in it, or at the very least feel entertained.

This episode I talk with my uncle about the concept of grit. What's it mean? Is it something you obtain of achieve? How can you gain more? This one is a slower start because we both started at the end of long days, and had to fight through some initial technical issues. We almost packed it up all together, but that being said sheesh we got DEEP. By the time we're at the 20 min mark we're already in the thick of it, and it just gets deeper and deeper from there. I think if you pay close enough attention you can see our flow and energy change, as we become energized by the profoundness of the conversation we're having. What I think is the most valuable part of doing this podcast (at least currently) is the fact that I get to objectively go back and observe the kind of intimate and in-depth conversations I've had the privilege of having with the different people in my life. I've always considered myself the kind of person who values people, but I think this Podcast allows me to explore, engage, and envelope myself in it from a drastically and uniquely different direction and perspective.

This episode my friend Jalen Ladd joins me, and we talk about the way making music impacted and shaped our lives. Two people who've invested heavily into learning the craft of Music, but didn't pursue it as a career. What inspires such a decision? What makes Music so magical? What kinds of things does it add to a person's life? If these questions pique your interest, then this episode may especially be for you.If you like this level of thought provoking content; anything we said resonated with you; or you just find it interesting please engage and come back to watch more in the future.

This is the first episode I didn't use previously recorded video I did in the past. This episode was specifically recorded with this podcast in mind, so it's like the first real episode in a way. My friend Jake and I discuss the idea of career goals and joy in one's overall life. How do you go about balancing the two? Is that something you even need to do? Tune in to see what we think, because this episode really picks up in the 2nd half.If you like this level of thought provoking content; anything I said resonated with you; or you just find it interesting please engage and come back to watch more in the future. This is just the beginning of what should be an interesting ride.

This is the 2nd episode, and I used another previously recorded video from a personal project I did in the past. It's more of a religious group thing I was asked to be apart of for my "unique" takes, and perspectives on the subject haha. I felt moved by the content enough to include it here, because I felt like the way it progressed could offer value to folks outside of that space. Not what things will normally be about, but we did get deep hence the title's play on words. If you like this level of thought provoking content; anything I said resonated with you; or you just find it interesting please engage and come back to watch more in the future. This is just the beginning of what should be an interesting ride. I believe the 3rd episode is where I'll be able to start actually recording content for this podcast specifically.
