Call it a flex, a journey to self, or a proverbial right of passage, harnessing one's manhood amidst a world of increasing complexity is now more essential than ever. 

But the questions then arise: What are the things we need to do differently to overcome the overwhelming circumstances? and how do we go about navigating the relentlessness that is constant change over time? 

In today's episode we delve into some perspectives on just how to go about being nimble enough to walk a path that is progressing forward in a holistic and positive way.  We look into:

MANHOOD IN A WORLD OF VICES

MANHOOD IN A WORLD OF STEREOTYPES

MANHOOD IN A WORLD OF EMASCULATION

It has been said when there is a gold rush, two classes of people emerge: those selling gold and those selling shovels. 

The Information Age has presented an unprecedented amount of data - the new gold - for corporations to create new avenues for profits. In the vein of this proverbial new Gold Rush and finding ways to seize it, we sit and discuss how Africans, in particular the Diaspora can spur on the sharing shovels over gold. 

There is room to create pathways to success in Africa using the Diaspora as a launching pad, where the refined use of information using technology is our greatest asset. However, If data is the new gold, who is doing the mining? And who is doing the refining? The pillars to this Renaissance speak to: Platforms, Partnerships and better uses of Power to remove hinderances to our own growth and open the door for self-directed efforts.

A sneak peek into topics this episode:

Partnership dynamics in the African community and across the African landscape - bridging the divide across sectors and within society, removing biases and ego, and building solid foundations.

Leadership - heroics or a handicap? 

Bringing value back home - the dynamics of local government and local people 

Questioning the status quo of development - present day handouts versus future self-reliance 

Finding unity and ushering an African Silk Road - cause for replication and ushering an African-led Renaissance

Pooling resources susu style - spreading the wealth to build wealth

and much more...

Back at it again! We kick off our episode with a special message to our African counterparts on the continent. More than thoughts and prayers, we send a message of strength, solidarity and pragmatic fellowship. 

Now back to the program...

The saying goes, "A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts", so on this episode we get together to have a sobering and truthful conversation about the convoluted nature of male/female dynamics in relationships, how men see themselves and what it really takes to level-up as a man.

Some topics include: Why Women are not  the prize! - men have every reason to put their purpose at the forefront of their minds

(Re)Defining the true value in mastering yourself as a man - confronting your vices and planting the seeds for your growth spurt

The company you keep - quality time calls for quality people;

Drawing the line between Passion and Talent - taking a practical approach to your gifts and your pursuits;....

Fellas, if you ever wondered why the rhetoric about us is so "toxic" and how to change it, this is the episode that sparks you to change your approach. 

Do what you mean and don't just say what you mean. Man up!

The only thing better on a Sunday than time with your crew, gathering around for a themed occasion and chilled Sunday vibes is doing all of the above while still growing in spirit and purpose. No small tings!

Fresh off the wake of the NBA Finals Games 5 & 6 between the Heat and Lakers, where Miami nearly turned the NBA Bubble into a combustible situation after bringing the Heat and LA showing only until you're dethroned will you be King no more, we get together and reflect on the key takeaways that resonated with us and unpack them for our listeners.

The NBA was in an proverbial Bubble sheltered from society, but society itself is in a pandemic bubble sheltering us from normality. 

It is a legitimate struggle. 

We decided to unpack how to shift from the mentality that makes you succumb to struggle culture towards strengthening yourself amidst struggle. 

How you can become more intentional and unlock your network, purpose and passion;  

How to shift from passivity to pragmatism and create experiences that challenge you to learn about yourself and improve your life;

The value in being open and how it can bring meaningful collaboration with others and change your trajectory.
