BIO:
Born to working class parents helped Bryan find his path in life thus far. Here's what he says about himself.
Climbing the ladder was consuming but once I met my wife and had my amazing daughter, perspective changed. Becoming a husband and father to a wonderful young girl, sparked an interest to leave a legacy. So taking the creative route, I decided to pour my unconditional love into books. Books my family would be proud of; books I'm proud of. Books about my career, insights, philosophies and personal life. If something I write can help or inspire just one other person then I've done well.
Questions:
You’re very motivated. How do you stay that way?
What challenges have you overcame since the Global pandemic?
What’s the Sales University mission statement? Where do you see the brand and yourself in 3 years?
What’s the last place you traveled too and what did you learn from that experience?
Mental health awareness month is coming to an end. Men suffer more because society says they shouldn’t show emotions publicly. How do you feel about the stigmas of mental health?

February 14, 2021S1E3 - On The Ground Level: A Valentine's Day with The Bashes
Dating My Best Friend podcast
As a married professional living and working with my partner I struggled to find real community. You guys are building a space to show love in a dope and creative element which I admire a lot.
Quick intro: Tahyira runs a Black mental health podcast as well as owns www.tremg.info , she’s always been interested in love and got married to the love of her life at 30.
Ashley and Tahyira met in Los Angeles and collaborated on a dating event which we hosted in P’s backyard. It was dope, it was cool to get young people to come out and actually have conversations, it was speed dating!
We’d love to pick your brain about how you both met, how has your personal lives changed since meeting one another, and how it is to be creatively married lol (creatives that work and play)
Did you both grow up in similar family styles?
Did you know you wanted to be married when you were dating? If yes, what was the tell signs?
Do you believe in divorce?
When you brainstormed the name of your podcast, what other names were you playing around with.
What difficulties have you encountered in love since the Rona hit last Spring?
Can single folks learn anything by tuning into your content?
Black love seems like a rare thing, it always has been, I think that’s why the Obama’s are so impactful. Do you see your future in that light? Big stages, hand in hand?
It’s v-day so I’d like FOR US to share some good quotes about love, it can be from a song a movie your own your pastor… let’s all share one.
