N***a/Ni**er: What’s the love affair with the word and why are we still using it?

Poet and activist, Maya Angelou, shared, "If you're going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can't be erased."

Exploring that journey-or road-to legacy has been a decades-long obsession for New York-born besties Donald Reid and Martin Small ( shout-outs to The Bronx and Harlem, respectively). You don't become two of Soho's &amp; Tribeca's most renowned doormen/ concierges without having great smiles, oodles of charm, and prodigious conversational skills. For Martin &amp; Donald, 40 yrs in the hospitality industry has afforded them close and personal views of roads to some legacies being built, tarnished, rebuilt, ignored, and more. Road To Legacy Podcast ( as we are and of quipping, the Old Man versus Young Man Podcast!') captures conversations with notable guests on wide-ranging, relevant, and engaging topics and their personal Roads To Legacy. You won't help but relish the passionate and wildly entertaining disagreements among the hosts (young vs old; left vs right; determinism vs free will, etc.) and witness how their love and respect for one another and their guests are real. In the end family is family.
