Living on The 1 Yard Line

The One Yard Line structure or foundation began on November 30, 2017 as a way of me overcoming deep depression and simply wanting to improve my life in every way possible. I wanted to improve my outlook on life, interactions with family, emotional health, cleanse my soul, improve career, finances. My decline started in 2004 when my mother died, 6 weeks after I donated my kidney to her, and climaxed when my marriage broke apart in 2016. Originally published in March 2019, I talk about delaying immediate gratification; not settling and going for what you truly want out of life. You can apply this principle to any area of your life, overcoming trauma, career, finance, love or even just becoming a high character person. 2017 was the most transitional year of my life💪🏾

This was the introductory episode of Living on the 1 Yard Line where I’m discussing the Black male perspective. The circumstances surrounding Black male depression are complex and unique.

The initial title in 2019 was a play on the Notorious Big’s famous line “Money Hoes & Clothes are all a brother knows. The intent was never to offend but to draw attention to issues. I discuss my background, what I hope to accomplish and why I have decided to become a resource. Therefore the title has been changed to “Living on the 1 Yard Line”😎

This episode I am fulfilling my role as an influencer of thought. The major difference between Michael Jordan a Gen Xer and Lebron James a Millennial, is how they conducted business.
