Nice 2 Meet U

In season 3, episode 3 of the "Nice 2 Meet U" podcast, I am discussing the topic of why you shouldn't settle for less in relationships. The majority of the information is taken from the article "You shouldn't settle for less and this is why" by E.B. Johnson. I will leave a link to this article below.

In season 3, episode 2 of the "Nice 2 Meet U" podcast, I have decided to dedicate the topic to my boy DMX. After hearing the news of DMX having a heart attack on Friday, April 2nd, I just had to take some time out to celebrate his life. You will hear me speak about his life, his accomplishments, and I will even share a little bit of his music.   Also, please don't forget to follow the "Nice 2 Meet U" podcast on IG and Twitter.

In the season 2 finale of the "Nice 2 Meet U" podcast, I spend some time going over 35 words of affirmation that you can speak every day to get your day started. I do a recap of season 2, and I also share some highlights of the season. This podcast is all about inspiring one another to become the best version of themselves, and I hope I have said something over this past season to encourage you to do just that.

In honor of Valentine's Day being on Sunday, February 14th, I decided to dedicate an episode to the topic of love. In this episode, I breakdown the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of love, the Bible's definition of love, and my definition of love. I also share the results of Helen Fisher's personality quiz from the theanatomyoflove.com. It is the test to figure the degree to which we express four broad styles of thinking and behaving, each associated with one of four basic brain systems: the dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, and estrogen systems. Also, this week's black history moment is dedicated to the late and great Dred Scott.

Have you ever struggled with making decisions? I know for me I struggle with making a decision because I want to know every possible outcome to avoid the heartache of being hurt if I chose the "wrong" one. In this episode I speak about building up our resilience and having the full confidence if things do not work out, I will be okay and if they do work out, I will also be okay.

Here is the link below to the information I found on the seven skills of resilience from pyschologytoday.com.

In this episode, Desmond, Tony, and I speak about what sports mean to the black community and how we can improve how the black dollar circulates. The majority of the percentage of players in the NBA and NFL are black, but most of the owners and coaches are not minorities. The dollar in the black community is inconsistent, so we discuss ways to build generational wealth.
