Mental Matters Podcast

From “West Philadelphia: Born and Raised” to the Oscars, from “College Dropout” to winning a Grammy, yet the negative define us. Maybe Will and Kanye had some bad days? Jerrell and Richard discuss accountability within our community, why it is important to understand the full picture, and how/when to address things.

Winter and all it’s blues are over.

As we decompress from a very cold winter, the loss of an hour’s time as well as loved ones and more, a much needed bro talk was needed from sports we are watching, why Belair just hasn’t missed, why the latest release of Jordans is it for 2022 and what we believe spring has in store.

Our guest, Brittney Channer, helped us tackle a much needed conversation about how we as a culture should heal internally before we engage in dating.

To all the Ladies in the place with style and grace, allow us to lace this community with some unity. Richard hates when guys ask what women bring to the table. Jerrell has the answers on how Men should set the table instead.

New Segment: What’s On Feet?

As our podcast is dedicated to Fellow Black Men, one of the things we take pride in is what is on our feet. Jerrell and Richard will breakdown what’s new to their shoe collection or what shoes they are head over heels about.

As 2021 comes to a close, this episode was likely our most important of the year. We sat down with Sebastian Jackson - Master Barber and Founder of Social Club Grooming Company in Detroit. We discuss everything including:

- why a barber’s chair can be our most vulnerable and safest space,

- the journey of Detroit’s young Master Barber in Training - Cameron Tucker,

- and how Reggie Bush, Big Sean, and Jalen Rose (amongst many others) rely on him for the perfect line up.

These kids finally got shoe money! Jerrell and Richard got their Air Jordan 6… *Dr. Evil Voice* Bordeaux. This episode is a deep dive into how Sneakers has turned into a lifestyle, their top 5 Jordans on on their wanted list, and how being Eastbay magazines and being told no has turned into endless scrolling on the Nike app.
